move the front-passenger seat to the rear-
most position.
R have the automatic child seat recognition
checked at aqualified specialist workshop.
To ensure that the automatic child seat rec-
ognition on the front-passenger seat func-
tions/communicates correctly, never place
objects, e.g. acushion, under the child
restraint system. The entire base of the child
restraint system must alwaysr est on the seat
cushion. An incorrectly fitted child restraint
system cannot perform its intended protec-
tive function in the event of an accident, and
could leadtoi njuries.
i If the front-passenger airbag is disabled
by the automatic child seat recognition, the
following remai nenable dont he front-
passenge rside:
R the sidebag
R the pelvisbag
R Cabriolet :the headbag
R Coupé:t he windowbag
R the belt tensioner G
WARNING
Do not place electronic devices on the front-
passenger seat, e.g.:
R laptops, when switched on
R mobile phones
R cards with transponders, e.g. ski passes or
access cards
Signals from electronic equipment can cause
interference in the automatic child seat rec-
ognition sensor system. This can lead to a
system malfunction. This may cause the
4 PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator
lamp to light up without there being achild
seat with transponders for automatic child
seat recognition fitted. The front-passenger
airbag will not then deploy during an accident.
It is also possible that the 6SRS warning
lamp lights up and/or the 4PASSENGER
AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp does not light up briefly when you turn the key in the ignition
lock to position 2.
ISOFIXc hild seat securing system for
the rear seats ISOFIXisas
tandardised securing system for
specially designed child restraint systems on
the rear seats. Securing rings for two ISOFIX
child restraint systems are fitted on the left
and right of the rear seats.
Mercedes-Ben zrecommends the use of ISO-
FIX child restraint systems listed on
(Y page 59) together with the insertion
guides included. Using insertion guides
makes it easier to fit ISOFIXc hild restraint
systems. G
WARNING
Ac hild 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
ac hild restraint system secured by the ISOFIX
child seat securing system. If the child weighs
more than 22 kg, secure the child restraint
system using athree-point seat belt. G
WARNING
The child restraint system cannot perform its
protective function if it is not correctly fitted
to as uitable vehicle seat. The child cannot be
restrained in the event of an accident, heavy
braking or sudden changes of direction. The
child could be seriously or even fatally injured.
For this reason, when fittingac hild restraint
system, observe the manufacturer's installa-
tion instructions and the correct use of the
child restraint system.
For reasons of safety, only use child restraint
systems with the ISOFIX child seat securing
system on the rear seats.
We recommendt hat you use the ISOFIX child
restraint systems that have been recommen-
ded for Mercedes-Benz. 54

Important safet
ynotes
Fo rreasons of safety, Mercedes-Benzr ecom-
mends that you drive with the lights switched
on even during the daytime. In some coun-
tries, operation of the headlamps varies due
to legal requirement sand self-imposed obli-
gations. Notes on driving abroad
Convert to symmetrical dipped beam
when driving abroad: switch the headlamps
to symmetrical dipped beam in countries in
which traffic drives on the opposite side of the
road to the country where the vehicle is reg-
istered. This prevents glare to oncoming traf-
fic. Symmetrical lights do not illuminate as
large an area of the edge of the carriageway.
Convert the headlamps as close to the border
as possible before driving in these countries
(Y page 227).
Convert to asymmetrical dipped beam
after returning: convert the headlamps back
to asymmetrical dipped beam as soon as pos-
sible after crossing the border when returning
(Y page 227). If the headlamps are converted to symmetri-
cal dipped beam, the "motorway mode" and
"extended range foglamps" function
s(Intelli-
gent Light System )are not available. Light switch
