Safety
Occupant safety
next to the instrument cluster will be lit if
this is the case. The front-passenger front
airbag is disabled.
i
The windowbag, the sidebag and the belt
tensioner on the front-passenger side are still ac-
tive even if the front-passenger front airbag is
disabled.
ISOFIX child seat securing system* in
the rear
ISOFIX is a standardised securing system
for special child seats in the rear. There are
securing rings for two child restraint sys-
tems between the seat cushion and the
backrest on the left and right-hand sides of
the outer rear seats.
G
Risk of injury
If the
9
warning lamp does not light
up when the child restraint system is fitted,
the front-passenger front airbag has not
been disabled. The child could suffer life-
threatening injuries if the front-passenger
front airbag deploys. If the warning lamp
does not light up, proceed as follows:
앫
Do not use a rearward-facing child re-
straint system on the front-passenger
seat.
앫
Fit a rearward-facing child restraint sys-
tem on a suitable rear seat.
or
앫
Only use a forward-facing child seat on
the front-passenger seat and move the
front-passenger seat to its rearmost po-
sition.
앫
Have the automatic child seat recogni-
tion checked at a qualified specialist
workshop which has the necessary
specialist knowledge and tools to carry
out the work required. Mercedes-Benz
recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this
purpose. In particular, work relevant to
safety or on safety-related systems
must be carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
To ensure that the automatic child seat rec-
ognition system functions correctly, never
place objects (e.g. a cushion) under the
child restraint system. The entire base of the
child restraint system must always be rest-
ing on the vehicle seat cushion. An incor-
rectly fitted child restraint system cannot
perform its protective function in the event
of an accident, and could even lead to inju-
ries.
G
Risk of injury
A child restraint system secured by the
ISOFIX child seat securing system does not
provide sufficient protection for children
weighing more than 22 kg. For this reason,
do not secure children weighing more than
22 kg in a child restraint system secured by
the ISOFIX child seat securing system. If the
child weighs more than 22 kg, secure the
child restraint system using a lap-shoulder
belt.
