and side airbags for driver and passenger, as well as a
knee bolster for the driver's seat.

Seat belts

Important!
Laws in most states and all Canadian provinces require
seat belt use.
All states and provinces require use of child restraints
that comply with U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 213 and Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 213.
All child restraint systems are designed to be secured in
vehicle seats by lap belts or the lap belt portion of a lap-
shoulder belt.
For your safety and that of your passenger we strongly
recommend their use.

Warning!
Children 12 years old and under must never ride in
this vehicle, except in a Mercedes-Benz authorized
TM
BabySmart compatible child seat, which operates
TM
with the BabySmart system installed in the
vehicle to deactivate the passenger front airbag
when it is properly installed. Otherwise they will
be struck by the airbag when it inflates in a crash.
If this happens, serious or fatal injury will result.
Infants and small children must be seated in an
appropriate infant or child restraint system, which
is properly secured with the vehicle's seat belt,
fully in accordance with the child seat
manufacturer's instructions.
A child's risk of serious or fatal injuries is
significantly increased if the child restraints are
not properly secured in the vehicle and the child is
not properly secured in the child restraint.
Note:
For cleaning and care of the seat belts, see page 252.
