PASSENGERA
IR BAG OFF indicator lamp :
shows you whether the front-passenger front airbag is disabled.
X Turn the key to position 1or 2in the ignition
lock or, on vehicles with KEYLESS-GO,
press the Start/Stop button once or twice. The system carries out aself-diagnosis.
The PASSENGERA IR BAG OFF indicator lamp
must light up for approximately six seconds.
If, after the system self-test, the
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp:
R lights up ,the front-passenger fronta irbag
is disabled. It will then not be deployed in
the event of an accident.
R is not lit,t he sensor system did not detect
ac hild restraint system with transponder
for automatic child seat recognition. If, in
the case of an accident ,all deployment cri-
teria are met, the front-passenger fronta ir-
bag is deployed. G
WARNING
Electronic devices on the front-passenger
seat can affect the function of the automatic
child seat recognition, for example:
R laptop
R mobile phone
R transponder cards such as ski passes or
access passes
The front-passenger fronta irbag could deploy
unintentionally or not function as intended
during an accident .This poses an increased
risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Do not place any of the devices mentioned
above or similar devices on the front-
passenger seat. Be aware of the status of the front-passenger fronta irbag both before and
during the journey. Child restraint system on the front-
passenger seat
General notes Accident statistics show that children
secured in the rear seats are safer than chil-
dren secured in the front-passenger seat. For
this reason, Mercedes-Benz strongly advises
that you install achild restraint system on a
rear seat.
Vehicles with automatic child seat recogni-
tion on the front-passenger seat: if it is abso- lutely necessary to fit achild restraint system
to the front-passenger seat, alway sobserve
the information on "Automatic child seat rec-
ognition on the front-passenger seat"
(Y page 65).
You can thus avoid the risks that could arise
as aresult of:
R ac hild restraint system that is not detected
by the automatic child seat recognition
sensor system
R the unintentional disabling of the front-
passenger fronta irbag
R the unsuitable positionin gofthe child
restraint system, e.g. too close to the dash-
board Please observe the warning notice on the
front-passenger sun visor; see the illustra-
tion.

approved in accordance with the ECE stand-
ard ECE R44 are permitted for use in the vehi- cle.
For certain child restraint systems in weight
categories II or III, this can mean that the area of use is restricted. The maximum size setting of the child restraint system is not possible
due to possible contact with the roof.
"Universal" category child restraint systems
can be recognised by their orange approval
label and the text "Universal".70
