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
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 air bag shutoff (
→
page 39).
By doing this, you can avoid risks caused by:
R
A child restraint system that is not detected
by the automatic front passenger air bag
shutoff.
R
The unintentionally deactivated front
passenger air bag.
