gered unintentionally or may not deploy as
intended during an accident.This can affect
for example the Emergency Tensioning
Device or the air bag. This poses an increased
risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Have the restraint system checked and
repaired in aqualified specialist workshop as
soon as possible.
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp :is
part of the BabySmart™ air bag deactivation
system.
Ap ermanently lit PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp informs you that the front-
passenger front air bag is deactivated.
Depending on the person in the front-passenger
seat, the front-passenger front air bag must
either be deactivated or enabled; see the fol-
lowing points. You must make sure of this both
before and during ajourney.
RChildren in achild restraint system:
whether the front-passenger front air bag is
enabled or deactivated depends on the instal- led child restraint system, and the age and
size of the child. Therefore, always observe
the information on "Children in the vehicle"
(
Ypage 49). There you will also find instruc-
tions on rearward and forward-facingc hild
restraint systems on the front-passenger
seat.
RAll other persons: the PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF indicator lamp must be off. Be sure to
observe the notes on "Seat
belts“ (
Ypage 39) and "Air bags"
(Ypage 43). There you can also find infor-
mation on the corrects eat position. Observe the information on the BabySmart™ air
bag deactivation system in the front-passenger
seat (
Ypage 53).
Seat belts
Introduction
Seat belts are the most effective means of
restricting the movement of vehicle occupants
in the event of an accident or the vehicle rolling
over. This reduces the risk of vehicle occupants
coming into contact with parts of the vehicle
interior or being ejected from the vehicle. Fur-
thermore, the seat belt helps to keep the vehicle
occupant in the best position in relation to the
air bag.
The seat belt system comprises:
RSeat belts
REmergency Tensioning Devices for the front
seat belts and the outer seat belts in the rear
RSeat belt force limiters
If the seat belt is pulled out at the belt sash guide
quickly or with ajerk ym ovement ,the belt
retractor locks. The belt strap cannot be extrac-
ted any further.
The Emergency Tensioning Device tighten sthe
seat belt in an accident,p ulling the belt close
against the body. However it does not pull the
vehicle occupant back in the direction of the
backrest.
The Emergency Tensioning Device does not cor-
rect an incorrect seat position or the routing of
an incorrectly fastened seat belt.
When triggered, aseat belt force limiter helps to
reduce the force exerted by the seat belt on the
vehicle occupant.
The seat belt force limiters for the front seats are
synchronized with the front air bags, which
absorb part of the deceleration force. This can
reduce the force exerted on the vehicle occu-
pants during an accident.
!If the front-passenger seat is unoccupied,
do not insert the belt tongue into the buckle of
the front-passenger seat. This may otherwise
lead to the triggering of the Emergency Ten-
sioning Device in the event of an accident,
which will then need to be replaced.

GWARNING
If the child restraint system is installed incor-
rectly on asuitable seat, it cannot protect as
intended. The child cannot then be restrained
in the event of an accident, heavy braking or
sudden changes of direction. There is an
increased risk of injury ,possibly even fatal.
Make sure that you observe the child restraint
system manufacturer's installation instruc-
tions and the notes on use. Please ensure,
that the base of the child restraint system is
alway sresting completely on the seat cush-
ion. Never place objects, e.g. cushions, under or behind the child restraint system. Only use
child restraint systems with the original cover
designed for them. Only replace damaged
covers with genuine covers.
GWARNING
If the child restraint system is installed incor-
rectly or is not secured, it can come loosei n
the event of an accident, heavy braking or a
sudden change in direction. The child
restraint system coul dbethrown about, strik-
ing vehicleo ccupants. There is an increased
risk of injury ,possibly even fatal.
Always instal lchild restraint systems prop-
erly,e ven if they are not being used .Make
sure that you observe the child restraint sys-
tem manufacturer's installation instructions.
You wil lfind further information on stowing
objects, luggage or loads under "Loading guide-
lines"(
Ypag e204).
GWARNING
Child restraint systems or their securing sys-
tems which have been damaged or subjected
to aloadinana ccident can no longer protect
as intended. The child cannot then be
restrained in the event of an accident, heavy
braking or sudden changes of direction. There is an increased risk of injury ,possibly even
fatal.
Replace child restraint systems which have
been damaged or subjected to aloadina n
accident as soon as possible.H ave the secur-
ing systems on the child restraint system
checked ataqualified specialist workshop,
before you install achild restraint system
again.
The securing systems of child restraint systems
are:
Rthe seat belts ystem
Rthe LATCH-type (ISOFIX) securing rings
Rthe Top Tether anchorages
iIf it is absolutel ynecessary to install achild
restraint system on the front-passenge rseat,
alway sobserve the information on "Child
restraint systems on the front-passenger
seat" (
Ypag e54). There you wil lalsof ind
information on deactivating the front-
passenger front air bag.
All child restraint systems must meet the fol-
lowing standards:
RU.S. FederalM otor Vehicle Safety Standards
213 and 225
RCanadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
213 and 210.2
Confirmation that the child restraint system cor-
responds to the standards can be found on an
instruction label on the child restraint system.
This confirmatio ncan als obefound in the instal-
lation instructions that are included with the
child restraint system.
Observe the warning labels in the vehiclei nte-
rior and on the child restraint system.
LATCH-type (ISOFIX) chil dseat secur-
ing system
GWARNING
LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint systems
do not offer sufficient protective effect for
children whosew eight is greater than 48 lbs
(22 kg )who are secure dusing the safety belt
integrated in the child restraint system. In the
event of an accident, achild might not be
restrained correctly. This poses an increased
risk of injury or even fatal injury.
If the child weighs more than 48 lbs (22 kg),
only use LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint
systems with which the child is als osecured
with the vehicles eat belt. Also secure the
Children in the vehicle51

GWARNING
If you secure achild in aforward-facing child
restraint system on the front-passenge rseat
and you position the front-passenge rseat too
close to the dashboard, in the event of an
accident, the child could:
Rcome into contact with the vehicle's inte-
rior if the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indi-
cator lamp is lit, for example
Rbe struck by the air bag if the PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp is off
This poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Move the front-passenge rseat as far back as
possible.A lways make sure that the shoulder
belts trap is correctly routed from the vehicle
belts ash guide to the shoulderb eltguide on
the child restraint system. The shoulderb elt
strap must be routed forwards and down-
wards from the belts ash guide. If necessary,
adjust the belts ash guide and the front-
passenger seat accordingly.A lways observe
the information about suitable positioning of
the child restraint system in this Operator's
Manual as wellast he child restraint system
manufacturer's installation instructions.

Childr estraint system on the front-
passenger seat
General notes
Accident statistics show that children secured
in the rear seats are safer than children secured
in the front-passenge rseat. For this reason,
Mercedes-Benz strongly advises that you install
the child restraint system on arear seat.
If it is absolutel ynecessary to install achild
restraint system on the front-passenge rseat,
alway sobserve the information on the "Baby-
Smart™ air bag deactivation system"
(
Ypage5 3).
You can thus avoi dthe risks that coul darisea s
ar esult of:
Rac hild restraint system that is not detected
by the BabySmart™ air bag deactivation sys-
tem sensor system
Rthe unintentional deactivation of the front-
passenger front air bag
Rthe unsuitabl epositioning of the child
restraint system, e.g. too close to the dash-
board
Rearward-facin gchildr estraint system
If it is absolutel ynecessary to install arearward-
facing child restraint system on the front-
passenger seat, alway smake sure that the
front-passenge rfront air bag is deactivated.
Only if the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp is permanently lit (
Ypag e39) is the front-
passenger front air bag deactivated.
Always observe the child restraint system man-
ufacturer's installation and operating instruc-
tions.
