Seats - Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2009 Owner's Manual

children should never be left unsupervised in
the vehicle. They could become trapped when
adjusting a seat
G
Risk of accident
Only adjust the driver's seat when the vehicle
is stationary. You will otherwise be distracted
from the road and traffic conditions and you
could lose control of the vehicle as a result of
the seat moving. This could cause an acci-
dent.
G Risk of injury
Make sure that nobody can become trapped
when you adjust the seat.
Observe the notes concerning the airbag sys-
tem.
Secure children as recommended; see the
"Children in the vehicle" section.
G
Risk of injury
Make sure that the central area of the head
restraint supports the back of your head at
about eye level. You could seriously injure
your neck if your head is not correctly sup-
ported by the head restraint in the event of an
accident. Never travel without a correctly
adjusted and engaged head restraint.
! When you move the seats, make sure that
there are no objects in the footwell or
behind the seats. Otherwise, you could
damage the seats and the objects.
i
The head restraints in the front seats are
fitted with the NECK-PRO system
( page 41). For this reason, it is not pos-
Y
sible to remove the head restraints from
the front seats.
