Child restraint systems on the co-driver seat
Notes on a child restraint system on the co-
driver seat
Accident statistics show that children secured on
the rear seats are safer than children secured on
the front seats. For this reason, Mercedes-Benz
strongly advises that you fit a child restraint sys‐
tem to a rear seat.
Warning notice on the co-driver sun visor
NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint on a
seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it,
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD may
occur.
Always observe the information on the safe trans‐
portation of children (
/
page 36).
Notes on rearward-facing child restraint sys‐
tems
The sticker is visible when the co-driver door is
open:
The co-driver front airbag cannot be disabled.
This is indicated by a special sticker on the co-
driver side of the cockpit. Always fit a rearward-
facing child restraint system on a suitable rear
seat, but never on the co-driver seat.
Notes on forward-facing child restraint sys‐
tems on the co-driver seat
When using the child restraint system on the co-
driver seat, you must observe the following
points:
R
Set the co-driver seat to its rearmost position.
If on a seat with seat height adjustment, also
set the seat to its highest position.
R
Set the seat backrest to an almost vertical
position.
R
Retract the seat cushion length completely.
R
The base of the child restraint system must
lie fully on the co-driver seat cushion.
R
The backrest of a forward-facing child
restraint system must, as far as possible, lie
flat against the backrest of the co-driver seat.
The child restraint system must not touch the
roof or be put under strain by the head
restraints.
R
If necessary, adjust the angle of the seat
backrest and the position of the head
restraints accordingly.
R
Set the seat cushion angle in such a way that
the front edge of the seat cushion is in the
highest position and the rear edge of the seat
cushion is in the lowest position.
R
Always make sure that the shoulder belt strap
is correctly routed from the seat belt outlet of
