Mercedes-Benz 2005 SLK-Class Operator's Manual page 45

Warning!
Children 12 years old and under must never
ride in the front seat, 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 air bag
when it inflates in a crash. If this happens,
serious or fatal injury will result.
Infants and small children must be seated in
TM
an appropriate BabySmart compatible in-
fant or child restraint system, which is prop-
erly 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.

Warning!
Never let more people ride in the vehicle
than there are seat belts available. Be sure
TM1
everyone riding in the vehicle is correctly re-
strained with a separate seat belt. Never use
a seat belt for more than one person at a
time.
Warning!
Never ride in a moving vehicle with the seat
backrest in an excessively reclined position
as this can be dangerous. You could slide
under the seat belt in a collision. If you slide
under it, the belt would apply force at the ab-
domen or neck. That could cause serious or
even fatal injuries. The seat backrest and
seat belt provide the best restraint when the
wearer is in a nearly upright position and the
belt is properly positioned on the body.
