Adjusting
You can adjust your seats either manually
or electrically*, depending on your vehi-
cle's equipment. Ad
just ing Seats
G
Risk of accident Only adjust the driver's
seat when the vehi-
cle is stationary. Oth erwise, you may no
lon ger be able toobserve road and traffic
cond itions and you could lose control of the
ve hicle as a result ofthe seat movin g. G
Risk of accident and injury Make sure that nobody can become trapped
as
you adjus tthe seat.
To reduce the risk of seri ousor fatal inju ries
in the event of an acci dent or heavydeceler-
ation, e.g .by an airbag inflating within milli-
seconds, observe the following points:
! All occupants must selec ta se at
position that allows the seat belt to be
worn correctly and th at is asfaraw ay
fr om the fro ntairbags as possible.
The position of the driver's seat must
allow the driver to drive the vehicle
sa fely. The distanc efrom the driver's
seat to th epedals mu st be such tha tthe
driver can fully depress the pedals. The
distance between the driver's chest and
the centre of the airbag cover must be
more than 25cm. The dri ver's ar ms
should beslightly bent when holding the
steering wheel. !
Position the front-pa ssen gerse at as far
ba ck as possible, especially if a child is
sitting on this seat or if a child is secured
in a restraint system onthis seat.
! Occ upants must always wea rthe irseat
be ltco rrec tly and po sitio ntheir back-
rest as clo seto the vertical as possible.
The head restraint should support the
ba ck ofyour head at about eye level.
! Rearward-faci ngchild restraint systems
must not be fitted to th efront-passen-
ger seat unless the front passenger air-
bag has been deactivated. In Merc edes-
Benz vehi cles, the front passenger air-
ba g is deactivated and the AIRBAG OFF
warning lamp is lit when a child restraint
system with automatic child seat recog-
nition is fitted to a front-passenger seat
in a vehicl ewith automatic child seat
recognition. 209en_d2.boo Seite

2 Seat angle
3 Seat height
4 Backrest angle
! Make sure th at there are no objects in the
footwell or be hind the seats when adj usting the
seats. You could oth erwise damage the seats
and the objects. If your ve
hicle doe snot have automatic
child seat recognition, children inrear-
ward-facing child restraint systems
must be se cured in a suitable seat in the
rear of th evehicle.
If you fit a forward-f acing child sea tto
the front-passenger seat, you must
mov e the front-pass engerse at as far
ba ck as possible.
! Do not lean forward (e.g. over the pad-
ded boss of the steeri ng wheel), in par-
ticular while the vehicle is in motion.
! Do not place your fee tonthe dash-
bo ard.
! Only hold the steering wheel by the out-
side of the rim. This allows the airbag to
inflate unhindered. You could be injured
ifthe airbag inflates and you are holding
the inside of the steering wheel.
! Do not lean on the doo rsfrom inside the
vehicle. !
Do not pla ceany objects on the airbags
or betw een the airbags and th evehicle's
occupa nts.
! Do not hang any hard objects ,for exam-
ple coat hangers, on the grab handles or
coat ha ngers.
The risk ofski na bras ions or minor injuries
ca used byan airbag cannot becomp letely
eliminated due to the high speed at which
the airb agmust inf late.
Vehicles with electric seats:
Remove the key from th eignition lock or
take the KEYLESS GO key* with you, even if
yo uare onlyleavi ngthe vehicle for a short
time.
Th ese ats ca n be adjusted when the key is
removed and a door is open.
For this reason, children should never beleft
un superv ised in the vehi cle. They could
become trapped by an inadvertent seat
adjustment. P 91.10-2379-31
