sanincreased
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 fron tairbag both before and

The sensor system for the automatic child seat
recognition in the front-passenger seat detects
whether aspecial Mercedes-Benz child restraint
system with transponder shas been fitted. In
this case, the PASSENGER AIR BAGO FF indica-
tor lamp lights up and remains lit. The front-
passenger fron tairbag is disabled.

WARNING
If you secure achild in aforward-facing child
restraint system on the front-passenge rseat
and you position the front-passenge rseat too
close to the dashboard, in the event of an
accident, the child could:
R come into contact with the vehicle's inte-
rior if the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indi-
cator lamp is lit, for example
R be struck by the airbag if the PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp is off
This poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.

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.
