Safety
Occupant safety
airbag has not been deactivated. The child
could suffer life-threatening injuries if the
co-driver's front airbag is deployed.
If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF warning
lamp does not light up, proceed as follows:
2
I Do not use a rearward-facing child re-
straint system on the co-driver's seat.
I Fit a rearward-facing child restraint sys-
tem on a suitable rear seat.
or
Only use a forward-facing child seat on
I
the co-driver's seat. When doing so,
move the co-driver's seat to its rearmost
position.
I Have the automatic child seat recogni-
tion system checked at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop which has the neces-
sary 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 specialist
workshop.
To ensure that the automatic child seat rec-
ognition on the co-driver's seat functions
correctly, never place objects (e.g. a cush-
ion) under the child restraint system. The
entire base of the child restraint system
52
must always be resting on the seat cushion.
An incorrectly fitted child restraint system
cannot perform its intended protective func-
tion in the event of an accident, and could
even lead to injuries.
i
The windowbag, the thorax/side-impact
airbag and the belt tensioner on the co-driver's
side remain enabled even if the co-driver's front
airbag is disabled.
G
Risk of injury
Do not place items of electronic equipment
on the co-driver's seat, e.g.:
laptops, if switched on
I
I mobile phones
I cards with transponders, e.g. ski passes
or access passes
as the signals from electronic equipment
can cause interference in the sensor system
of the automatic child seat recognition sys-
tem. This can lead to a system malfunction
and cause the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF
warning lamp:
Nur fuer internen Gebrauch
I to light up even when there is no child
seat with automatic child seat recogni-
tion fitted, meaning that the co-driver's
front airbag will not be deployed in the
event of an accident
I not to light up briefly when the key is
turned to position 2 in the ignition lock

ISOFIX child seat securing system

ISOFIX is a standardised securing system
for special child seats in the rear. The se-
curing rings for the child restraint systems
are located between the seat cushions
and the backrest.
G
Risk of injury
A child restraint system secured by the ISO-
FIX child seat securing system does not pro-
vide sufficient protection for children weigh-
ing 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.
