Child restraint systems on the co-driver seat
Notes on a child restraint system on the co-
driver seat
Accident statistics show that children secured on
the rear seats are safer than children secured on
the front seats. For this reason, Mercedes-Benz
strongly advises that you fit a child restraint sys‐
tem on a rear seat.
Warning notice on the co-driver sun visor
NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint on a
seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it,
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD may
occur.
Be sure to also observe the notes on how to
safely travel with children (
Notes for rearward-facing child restraint sys‐
tems
The sticker is visible when the co-driver door is
open:
The co-driver front airbag cannot be disabled.
This is indicated by a special sticker on the co-
driver side of the cockpit. Always fit a rearward-
facing child restraint system on a suitable rear
seat, but never on the co-driver seat.
