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.

deactivated. It wil lthen not be deploye dinthe
event of an accident.
Ris not lit :the sensor system did not detect a

If, in the event of an accident, all deployment criteria are met, the front-passenge rfront air
bag is deployed.
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.

actual distance from the road users traveling
behind by glancing over you rshoulder.
