Child restraint systems on the front
passenger seat
Notes on child restraint systems on the front
passenger seat
Accident statistics show that children secured in
the rear seats are safer than children secured in
the front seats. For this reason, Mercedes-Benz
strongly advises that you install a child restraint
system on a rear seat.
If it is absolutely necessary to install a child
restraint system on the front passenger seat,
always observe the information on the automatic
front passenger front airbag shutoff
( page 43).

By doing this, you can avoid risks caused by:
upwards.
A child restraint system that is not detected
R
by the automatic front passenger front airbag
shutoff.
Occupant safety
The unintentionally deactivated front
R
passenger airbag.
Incorrect positioning of the child restraint
R
system.
Notes on forward-facing and rearward-facing
child restraint systems on the front
passenger seat
When using a rearward-facing child restraint sys‐
tem on the front passenger seat, the front
passenger front airbag must always be deactiva‐
ted. This is only the case if the PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF indicator lamp is lit continuously
( page 45).
→
When using the child restraint system on the
front passenger seat, it is essential to observe
the following:
Move the front-passenger seat as far back as
R
possible and also into the highest position.
Set the seat backrest to an almost vertical
R
position.
Retract the seat cushion length as far as pos‐
R
sible.
