Example: seat rail system with quick-locking
mechanism
Guide rails : of the seat rail system allow you
to:
anchor rear bench seats in up to two rear
R
seat rows
The only way to ensure that the rear bench
seats will engage securely is to always keep
the seat anchorages clean and free of foreign
objects.
Vehicles with seat rail system: when
i
removing a passenger bench seat, the seat
sliders may be displaced in a guide rail. The
seat sliders are then no longer parallel in the
guide rails. In this case, you can no longer
install the passenger bench seat. Displacing
the seat sliders is possible only with a tool –
the grip for seat sliders – or in a qualified
specialist workshop without the risk of dam-
age. The tool is available as a Mercedes-
Benz accessory.
