Child restraint systems on the front
passenger seat
Notes on child restraint systems on the front
passenger seat
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 install a child restraint
system on a rear seat.
If it is absolutely necessary to install a child
restraint system on the front passenger seat,
always observe the information on the automatic
front passenger airbag shutoff (
→
page 40).
By doing this, you can avoid risks caused by:
R
A child restraint system that is not detected
by the automatic front passenger airbag
shutoff.
R
The unintentionally disabled front passenger
airbag.
R
Incorrect positioning of the child restraint
system.
Warning notice on the front-passenger sun
visor:
& WARNING Risk of injury or death from
using a rearward-facing child restraint
system when the front passenger airbag
is enabled
If you secure a child in a rearward-facing
child restraint system on the front passenger
seat and the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indi‐
cator lamp is off, the front passenger airbag
can deploy in the event of an accident.
The child could be struck by the airbag.
