Warning!
Children 12 years old and under must never
ride in this vehicle, except in a
Mercedes-Benz authorized BabySmart
compatible child seat, which operates with
TM
the BabySmart system installed in the ve-
hicle to deactivate the passenger front air-
bag when it is properly installed. Otherwise
they will be struck by the airbag when it in-
flates 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 sys-
tem, which is properly secured with the ve-
hicle'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.
