WARNING
Electronic devices on the front-passenger
seat can affect the function of the automatic
child seat recognition, for example:
R laptop
R mobile phone
R transponder cards such as ski passes or
access passes
The front-passenger front airbag could deploy unintentionally or not function as intended
during an accident. This poses an increased
risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Do not place any of the devices mentioned
above or similar devices on the front-
passenger seat. :
PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp
; PASSENGER AIRBAG ON indicator lamp
The automatic child seat recognition sensor
system on the front-passenger seat detects
whether a special Mercedes-Benz child seat
has been fitted there. The Mercedes-Benz
child seat is equipped with transponders for
automatic child seat recognition so that it can
be detected by the sensor system. In this
case, PASSENGER AIRBAG ON indicator
lamp ;lights up briefly when the ignition is
switched on. PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indi-
cator lamp :remains lit. The front-
passenger front airbag is disabled. i
If the front-passenger front airbag is dis-
abled by the automatic child seat recogni-
tion, the following remain enabled on the
front-passenger side:
R the sidebag
R the headbag
R the belt tensioner ISOFIX child seat securing system

WARNING
ISOFIX child restraint systems do not offer
sufficient protective effect for children whose weight is greater than 22 kg who are securedusing the safety belt integrated in the child
restraint system. The child could, for example,not be restrained correctly in the event of an
accident. This poses an increased risk of
injury or even fatal injury.
If the child weighs more than 22 kg, only use
ISOFIX child restraint systems with which the child is also secured with the vehicle seat belt. Also secure the child restraint system with the
Top Tether belt, if available.
When installing a child restraint system, be
sure to observe the manufacturer's installa-
tion instructions and the instructions for cor- rect use of the child restraint system. G
WARNING
If the child restraint system has not been fit-
ted correctly, it cannot perform its intended
protective function. The child cannot be
restrained in the event of an accident, heavy
braking or sudden changes of direction. The
child could be seriously or even fatally injured. For this reason, when securing a child
restraint system, always observe the manu-
facturer's fitting instructions and the correct
application range of the child restraint sys-
tem.
For safety reasons, only use child restraint
systems with an ISOFIX child seat securing
system which have been tested and approved
for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. 64
Child restraint systemsSafety

An incorrectly fitted child restraint system
could come loose and seriously or even fatally injure the child or other vehicle occupants.
When fitting the child restraint system, always
make sure that it is engaged correctly in the
ISOFIX securing loops on both sides. X
Install the ISOFIX child restraint system on
both ISOFIX securing loops :. Comply
with the child restraint system manufactur- er's instructions when installing the ISOFIXchild restraint system.
ISOFIX is a standardised securing system for
specially designed child restraint systems.
ISOFIX retaining loops :for an ISOFIX child
restraint system are fitted to the front-
passenger seat. Suitable positioning of the child
restraint systems
Only child restraint systems which are
approved in accordance with the ECE stand-
ard ECE R44 are permitted for use in the vehi- cle.
Installing a child restraint system on the
front-passenger seat
X Move the seat to its highest and rearmost
position.
If you secure a child in a forward-facing
child restraint system on the front-
passenger seat, ensure that the shoulder
belt strap from the belt outlet on the vehicle is routed towards the front to the shoulder
belt guide on the child restraint system.
X Move the backrest to a vertical position.
When doing so, ensure that the complete
surface of the child restraint system rests
against the backrest of the front-passenger
seat and that the child restraint system
does not touch the roof. To do so, you may have to adjust the backrest down a little.
X Move the seat cushion angle to the highest,
most vertical position.
X Move the belt height adjustment to the low-
est position.
Rearward-facing child restraint systems with- out a transponder for automatic child seat
recognition may not be installed on the front-
passenger seat.
