Child restraint system on the front-
passenger seat
General notes
Accident statistics show that children
secured in the rear seats are safer than chil-
dren secured in the front-passenger seat. For
this reason, Mercedes-Benz strongly advises
that you install the 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 "Baby-
Smart™ air bag deactivation system"
( page 59).

You can thus avoid the risks that could arise
as a result of:
a child restraint system that is not detected
R
by the BabySmart™ air bag deactivation
system sensor system
the unintentional deactivation of the front-
R
passenger front air bag
the unsuitable positioning of the child
R
restraint system, e.g. too close to the dash-
board
