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 a child restraint system on a
rear seat.
Vehicles with automatic child seat recogni-
tion on the front-passenger seat: if it is abso-
lutely necessary to fit a child restraint system
to the front-passenger seat, always observe
the information on "Automatic child seat rec-
ognition on the front-passenger seat"
(
page 65).

You can thus avoid the risks that could arise
as a result of:
a child restraint system that is not detected
R
by the automatic child seat recognition
sensor system
the unintentional disabling of the front-

passenger front airbag
the unsuitable positioning of the child
R
restraint system, e.g. too close to the dash-
board
