■ INTERIOR SEATING
Your coach is equipped with a combination of fixed, swivel, and
reclining seats which are designed to offer functionality and comfort�
The premium quality seating fabrics consist of either the standard
AMG or the optional SLS Double Needle Diamond Pattern� Care
and maintenance of both fabrics is the same, with the optional SLS
upholstery offering higher comfort and durability�
When driving your coach, all seating must be in a fully upright (non-
reclined) and forward-facing position. All seated occupants must face
towards the front of the vehicle and be properly restrained using the
seat belts�
DANGER
Operating the coach with the vehicle seats in any position
other than locked in the forward-facing and upright position
can lead to potential serious physical injuries or death.
■ CHILD SAFETY SEATS
Child safety seats may NOT be installed on the rear bench seat as
it lacks the required safety tether or shoulder restraint for proper
installation� Install a child safety seat in either the second row of seats
(applies to the MD4 coach only) or in the front passenger seat. Follow
the procedures in the Child Seat section of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
Operating Instructions for the proper installation of a child safety seat,
along with the associated passenger air-bag safety precautions�
DANGER
Do not install a child safety seat on the rear bench seat,
which lacks the required safety tether / three point harness
to securely attach the device to the rear seat. Installing a
child safety seat on the rear bench seat may lead to serious
physical injuries and / or death.
■ SWIVELING & RECLINING FRONT SEATS
Both the driver’s and passenger’s front seats may be swiveled
(rotated) to face 50°outward, 50°inward, or 180° rearward when
your coach is parked� These seats should never be in any position
other than forward facing and fully upright whenever the vehicle
is in motion� Please refer to the Seats and Stowage section of the
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Operating Instructions for this procedure and
