WARNING
If you secure a child in a forward-facing child
restraint system on the front-passenger seat
and you position the front-passenger seat too
close to the dashboard, in the event of an
accident, the child could:
come into contact with the vehicle's inte-
R
rior if the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indi-
cator lamp is lit, for example
be struck by the airbag if the PASSENGER
R
AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp is off
This poses an increased risk of injury or even
fatal injury.
Always move the front-passenger seat as far
back as possible and fully retract the seat
cushion length. Always make sure that the
shoulder belt strap is correctly routed from
the vehicle belt sash guide to the shoulder
belt guide on the child restraint system. The
shoulder belt strap must be routed forwards
and downwards from the vehicle belt sash
guide. If necessary, adjust the vehicle belt
sash guide and the front-passenger seat
accordingly. Always observe the child
restraint system manufacturer's installation
instructions.
Always observe the vehicle-specific information
for the correct positioning of the child restraint
system ( page 61).
Y
If the automatic front-passenger front airbag
deactivation system detects that:
the front-passenger seat is unoccupied, the
R
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
lights up after the system self-test and
remains lit. This indicates that the front-
passenger front airbag is disabled.
the front-passenger seat is occupied by a
R
child in a rearward-facing child restraint sys-
tem, the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp lights up after the system self-test and
remains lit. This indicates that the front-
passenger front airbag is disabled.
But in the case of a child in a rearward-facing
child restraint system, the PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF indicator lamp can also go out after
the system self-test. This indicates that the
front-passenger front airbag is enabled. The
result of the classification is dependent on,
Occupant safety
among other factors, the child restraint sys-
tem and the child's build. It is recommended
that you fit the child restraint system to a
suitable rear seat.
the front-passenger seat is occupied by a
R
child in a forward-facing child restraint sys-
tem, either the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp lights up and remains lit after
the system self-test depending on the result
of the classification, or it goes out. The result
of the classification is dependent on, among
other factors, the child restraint system and
the child's build.
Move the front-passenger seat as far back as
possible. Always observe the information in
"Child restraint systems on the front-
passenger seat" (
Y
ble positioning of the child restraint system"
( page 61). Alternatively, you can fit the
Y

the front-passenger seat is occupied by a per-
R
son with a smaller build (e.g. a teenager or
small adult), the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp lights up and remains lit after
the system self-test depending on the result
of the classification or, alternatively, goes out.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
-
lamp is off, move the front-passenger seat
as far back as possible. Alternatively, a per-
son with a small build can sit on a rear seat.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
-
lamp is lit, a person with a smaller build
should not use the front-passenger seat.
the front-passenger seat is occupied by an
R
adult or a person with the build of an adult, the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
goes out after the system self-test. This indi-
cates that the front-passenger front airbag is
enabled.
If children are travelling in the vehicle, be sure to
observe the notes on "Children in the vehicle"
( page 56).
Y
If the automatic front-passenger front airbag
deactivation system is malfunctioning, the red
6 restraint system warning lamp on the
instrument cluster and the PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF indicator lamp light up simultaneously.
The front-passenger front airbag is disabled in
this case and does not deploy during an acci-
dent. Have the automatic front-passenger front
airbag deactivation system checked and
repaired immediately at a qualified specialist
workshop. Mercedes-Benz recommends that
