The seat belt on the driver's seat and the
front-passenger seat may be tightened auto-
matically, see "Belt adjustment"
(Y page 41).
X If necessary, pull upwards on the shoulder
section of the seat belt to tighten the belt
across your body.
In order to attach the child restraint system
securely in the vehicle, the seat belts in the rear
are equipped with a child seat lock. You can find
further information under "Child seat lock"
(Y page 50).
Automatic comfort-fit feature The front seat belts have an automatic comfort-
fit feature. The automatic comfort-fit feature
reduces the retraction force of the seat belts.
The seat belts are thus routed more comfortably for the driver and front passenger.
Releasing the seat belts !
Make sure that the seat belt is fully rolled up.
Otherwise, the seat belt or belt tongue will be
trapped in the door or in the seat mechanism.
This could damage the door, the door trim
panel and the seat belt. Damaged seat belts
can no longer fulfil their protective function
and must be replaced. Visit a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
X Press release button in belt buckle, hold belt
tongue firmly and guide the seat belt back.
Seat belt adjustment The seat-belt adjustment is an integral part of
the PRE-SAFE
®
convenience function. This func-
tion adjusts the driver's and front-passenger
seat belt to the upper body of the occupants.
The belt strap is tightened slightly when:
R with a retracted seat-belt extender, the seat
belt tongue is engaged in the belt buckle and
R the ignition is switched on
The seat-belt adjustment will apply a certain
tightening force if any slack is detected between
the vehicle occupant and the seat belt. Do not Occupant safety
41Safety Z

The PRE-SAFE
®
PLUS braking application is can-
celled:
R if the accelerator pedal is depressed when a
gear is engaged
R if the risk of a collision passes or is no longer
detected
R if DISTRONIC PLUS indicates an intention to
pull away
If the hazardous situation passes without result- ing in an accident, the original settings are
restored. Automatic measures after an acci-
dent
Immediately after an accident, the following
measures may be implemented, depending on
the type and severity of the impact:
R the hazard warning lamps are activated
R the emergency lighting is activated
R the vehicle doors are unlocked
R the front side windows are lowered
R vehicles with a memory function: the electri-
cally adjustable steering wheel is raised
R the engine is switched off and the fuel supply
is cut off
R vehicles with the Mercedes-Benz emergency
call system: automatic emergency call Children in the vehicle
Important safety notes
Accident statistics show that children secured
in the rear seats are safer than children secured in the front seats. For this reason, Mercedes-
Benz strongly advises that you fit a child
restraint system on a rear seat. Children are
generally better protected there.
If a child younger than twelve years old and
under 1.50 m in height is travelling in the vehi-
cle:
R always secure the child in a child restraint
system suitable for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
The child restraint system must be appropri-
ate to the age, weight and size of the child.
R be sure to observe the instructions and safety
notes in this section in addition to the child
restraint system manufacturer's installation
instructions. G
WARNING
If you leave children unattended in the vehi-
cle, they may be able to set the vehicle in
motion if, for example, they:
R release the parking brake
R shift the automatic transmission out of park
position Por shift manual transmission into
neutral
R start the engine
In addition, they may operate vehicle equip-
ment and become trapped. There is a risk of
an accident and injury.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the key with you and lock the vehicle. Never leave
children unattended in the vehicle. G
WARNING
If persons (particularly children) are exposed
to heat or cold for a prolonged period, there is a risk of serious or even fatal injuries. Never
leave persons (particularly children) unatten-
ded in the vehicle. G
WARNING
If the child restraint system is placed in direct sunlight, the parts could become very hot.
Children could be suffer burns by touching
these parts, in particular on the metallic parts
of the child restraint system. There is a risk of injury.
If you and your child leave the vehicle, always
make sure that the child restraint system is
not in direct sunlight. Cover it with a blanket, for example. If the child restraint system has
been exposed to direct sunlight, leave it to
cool down before securing the child in it.
Never leave children unattended in the vehi-
cle.
Always ensure that all vehicle occupants have
their seat belts fastened correctly and are sitting
properly. Particular attention must be paid to
children.
Observe the safety notes on the seat belt
(Y page 39) and the notes on how to use the seat
belt properly (Y page 40). Children in the vehicle
49Safety Z

Vehicles without automatic child seat
recognition on the co-driver's seat If the co-driver's seat of your vehicle is not
equipped with automatic child seat recognition,
this is indicated by a special sticker. The sticker
is affixed to the side of the dashboard on the co-
driver's side. The sticker is visible when you
open the co-driver's door.
The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
lights up briefly when the key is turned to posi-
tion 2in the ignition lock. It has no function,
however, and does not indicate that the co-driv- er's seat is equipped with automatic child seat
recognition.
If you turn the key to position 2in the ignition
lock, the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF and
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamps light
up briefly. They have no function, however, and do not indicate that the co-driver's seat is equip-
ped with automatic child seat recognition.
Always fit the rearward-facing restraint system
to a suitable rear seat in this case (Y page 55).
Observe the following information under "Rear-
ward-facing child restraint system" and
"Forward-facing child restraint system" and on
suitable positioning of the child restraint system
(Y page 55). Rearward-facing child restraint system Warning symbol for a rearward-facing child
restraint system
If it is absolutely necessary to fit a rearward-
facing child restraint system to the co-driver's
seat, you must always make sure that the co-
driver's front airbag is deactivated. The co-driv-
er's front airbag is only disabled if the
PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is lit
continuously (Y page 38).
Always observe the information about suitable
positioning of the child restraint system
(Y page 55) as well as the child restraint sys-
tem manufacturer's installation and operating
instructions.
Forward-facing child restraint system If you secure a child in a forward-facing child
restraint system on the co-driver's seat, you
must always move the co-driver's seat as far
back as possible. The base of the child restraint system must lie fully on the co-driver's seat
cushion. The backrest of the child restraint sys-
tem must lie as flat against the co-driver's seat
backrest as possible. The child restraint system may not touch the roof or be put under strain by
the head restraint. Adjust the angle of the seat
backrest and the head restraint position accord-
ingly. Always make sure that the shoulder belt
strap is correctly routed from the seat-belt
extender on the co-driver's seat to the shoulder belt guide on the child restraint system. The
shoulder belt strap must be routed forwards
from the retracted seat-belt extender for the co-driver's seat.
Always observe the information about suitable
positioning of the child restraint system
(Y page 55) as well as the child restraint sys-
tem manufacturer's installation and operating
instructions. 54
