iblew hen you open the front-passenger
door. The automatic chil
dseat recognition sensor
syste mont he front-passenger seat detects
whether aspecial Mercedes-Ben zchild seat
with automatic chil dseat recognition has
been fitted there. In such cases, PASSENGER
AIRBA GOFF indicato rlamp 4 :lights
up. The front-passenger front airbag is disa-
bled. G
Risk of injury
If the 4 PASSENGER AIRBA GOFF indica-
tor lamp doe snot light up when the child
restraint system is fitted, the front-passenger
front airbag has not been disabled. If the front-
passenger front airbag deploys, the child
coul dbes eriously or even fatally injured.
Proceed as follows:
R do not use arearward-facing child restraint
system on the front-passenger seat.
R fit arearward-facing child restraint system
on asuitable rear seat.
or
R only use aforward-facing child restraint
system on the front-passenger seat and
mov ethe front-passenger seat to its rear-
most position.
R hav ethe automatic chil dseat recognition
checked at aqualified specialist workshop.
To ensure that the automatic child seat rec-
ognitio nonthe front-passenger seat func-
tions/communicates correc tly, never place
objects (such as acushion) under the child
restraint system. The entire base of the child restraint system must always rest on the seat
cushion. An incorrectly fitted child restraint
system cannot perform its intended protec-
tive function in the event of an accident, and
could lead to injuries.
i If the front-passenger front airbag is dis-
abled by the automatic child seat recogni-
tion, the following remain activated on the
front-passenger side:
R the sidebag
R Cabriolet: the headbag
R Coupé :the windowbag
R the belt tensioners G
Risk of injury
Do not plac eelectronic devices on the fron t-
passenger seat, e.g.:
R laptops, when switched on
R mobile phones
R cards with transponders, e.g. ski passes or
access cards
Signal sfrom electroni cequipmen tcan cause
interference in the automatic child seat rec-
ognition senso rsystem. This can lead to a
syste mmalfunction. This may cause the
4 PASSENGER AIRBA GOFF indicator
lamp to light up without there being achild
seat with automatic chil dseat recognition fit-
ted, and the front-passenger front airba gwill
not deploy during an accident .Itisalso pos-
sible that the 6SRS warnin glamp lights
up and/or the 4PASSENGER AIRBA GOFF
warning lamp does not light up briefly when
you turn the key in the ignitio nlock to position

zrecommends the use of ISO-
FI Xc hild restraint system slisted on
(Y page 53) together with the insertion
guides included. Fitting the ISOF IXchild
restraint system is eased by using the inser-
tio ng uides. G
Risk of injury
Ac hild restraint system secured by the ISOFIX
chil dseat securing system does not provide
sufficien tprotection for children weighing
more than 22 kg. For this reason, do not
secure children weighing more than 22 kg in
ac hild restraint system secured by the ISOFIX
chil dseat securing system. If the child weighs
mor ethan 22 kg, secur ethe chil drestraint
system using alap-shoulde rbelt. G
Risk of injury
The child restraint system can notp erform its
protectiv efunction if it is not correctly fitted
to as uitable vehicle seat. The child cannot be
restrained in the event of an accident, heavy
braking or sudde nchanges of direction. The
chil dcould be seriously or even fatally injured.
For this reason, when fit ting achild rest raint
system, observe the manufacturer's installa-
tion instructions and the correct use of the
child restraint system.
For reasons of safety, only use child restraint
systems with the ISOFIX child seat securing
system on the rear seats.
We recommend the use of ISOFIX child
restraint systems which have been approved
for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
An incorrectly fitted child restraint system
could come loose and seriously or even fatally
injur ethe chil dorother vehicle occupants.
Whe nfitting the child restraint system, always
make sure that it is engaged correctly in the
securing rings on both sides. G
Risk of injury
Please not ethat if chil drestraint systems, or
their retaining systems, are damaged or sub-
jected to aload in an accident, they may not
be able to provide their protectiv efunction. This could result in serious or even fatal inju-
ries to the secured child in the event of an
accident, heavy braking or
asudden change
in direction.
For this reason, have child restraint systems
and their anchorages which have been dam-
aged or subjected to aload in an accident
