Warning symbol for a rearward-facing child
restraint system G
WARNING
If the front-passenger front airbag is not dis-
abled:
R a child secured in a child restraint system
on the front-passenger seat could be seri-
ously and even fatally injured by the front-
passenger fron tairbag deploying .This is
especially a risk if the child is in the imme-
diate vicinity of the front-passenger front
airbag when it deploys.
R never secure a child on the front-passenger
seat in a rearward-facing child restraint sys-
tem.
R always move the front-passenger seat to
the rearmost position if you secure a child
in a forward-facing child restraint system
on the front-passenger seat.
The front-passenger front airbag is not disa-
bled:
R if no child restraint system with a trans-
ponder for automatic child seat recognition
is fitted to the front-passenger seat. In
order to make use of the automatic child
seat recognition, a Mercedes-Benz
approved child seat with a transponder is
necessary.
R if the _ PASSENGER AIRBAG ON indi-
cator lamp lights up for 60 seconds after
the ignition is switched on and the 4
PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp
does not light up.
To make you aware of this danger, a corre-
sponding warning sticker has been affixed on the dashboard and on both sides of the sun
visor on the front-passenger side.
Information about recommended child
restraint systems is available at any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Do not use a rearward-facing child restraint
system for a child on aseat which is already
protected by an airbag.
Automatic child seat recognition on the
front-passenger seat The front-passenger seat sensor system for
child restraint systems detects whether a
special Mercedes-Benzc
hild seat with a
transponder for automatic child seat recog-
nition has been fitted. If so, the _
PASSENGER AIRBAG ON indicator lamp ;
lights up briefly when the ignition is switched
on, and the aPASSENGER AIRBAG OFF
indicator lamp :remains lit. The front-
passenger front airbag is disabled. G
WARNING
If the 4 PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indica-
tor lamp does not light up when the child
restraint system is fitted, the front-passenger
airbag has not been disabled. If the front-
passenger airbag deploys, the child could be
seriously or even fatally injured.
Proceed as follows:
R do not use a rearward-facing child restraint
system on the front-passenger seat.
