shoulder belt strap is correctly routed from
the vehicle seat belt guide to the shoulder belt
guide on the child restraint system. The shoul-
der belt strap must be routed forwards and
downwards from the belt guide. Always
observe the child restraint system manufac-
turer's installation instructions.
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, the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON
indicator lamp can light up after the system
self-test and remain lit. This indicates that the
front-passenger front airbag is enabled. The
result of the classification is dependent on,
among other factors, the child restraint sys-
tem and the child's build. Make sure that the
conditions for a correct classification are met.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp
remains on, do not install a child restraint
system on the front-passenger seat.
the front-passenger seat is occupied by a
R
child in a forward-facing child restraint sys-
tem, either the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON or
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
lights up and remains lit after the system self-
test depending on the result of the classifica-
tion. The result of the classification is depend-
ent 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" (
ble positioning of the child restraint system"
(
page 58).
Y
the front-passenger seat is occupied by a per-
R
son with a smaller build (e.g. a teenager or
small adult), either the PASSENGER AIR BAG
ON or PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp lights up and remains lit after the system
page 56) and in "Suita-
Y
self-test depending on the result of the clas-
sification.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator
-
lamp lights up, move the front-passenger
seat as far back as possible.
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 a build corresponding
to that of an adult, the PASSENGER AIR BAG
ON indicator lamp lights up after the system
self-test and remains lit. This indicates 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 54).
Y
If the automatic front-passenger front airbag
deactivation system is malfunctioning, the red
6 restraint system warning lamp in 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 system checked as soon as pos-
sible by qualified technicians. Consult a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. The front-
passenger seat should only be repaired at a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
If the front-passenger seat, the seat cover or the
seat cushion is damaged, have the necessary
repair work carried out at a Mercedes-Benz Ser-
vice Centre.
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use a child restraint system
which has been tested and approved by
Mercedes-Benz in combination with the auto-
matic front-passenger front airbag deactivation
system.
System self-test
G
DANGER
If both the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF and
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamps do
not light up during the system self-test, the
system is malfunctioning. The front-
passenger front airbag might be triggered
unintentionally or might not be triggered at all
in the event of an accident with high deceler-
ation. This poses an increased risk of injury or
even fatal injury.
