Only then can the forces which occur be dis-
tributed over the area of the belt.
Rthe shoulder section of the belt is routed
across the center of your shoulder.
The shoulder section of the seat belt should
not touch your neck or be routed under your
arm or behind your back. Where possible,
adjust the seat belt to the appropriate height.
Rthe lap belt is taut and passes across your lap as low down as possible.
The lap belt must always be routed across

Childr estraint system on the front-
passenger seat
General notes
Accident statistics show that children secured
in the rear seats are safer than children secured
in the front-passenge rseat. For this reason,
Mercedes-Benz strongly advises that you install
the child restraint system on arear seat.
If it is absolutel ynecessary to install achild
restraint system on the front-passenge rseat,
alway sobserve the information on the "Baby-
Smart™ air bag deactivation system"
(
Ypage5 3).
You can thus avoi dthe risks that coul darisea s
ar esult of:
Rac hild restraint system that is not detected
by the BabySmart™ air bag deactivation sys-
tem sensor system
Rthe unintentional deactivation of the front-
passenger front air bag
Rthe unsuitabl epositioning of the child
restraint system, e.g. too close to the dash-
board
Rearward-facin gchildr estraint system
If it is absolutel ynecessary to install arearward-
facing child restraint system on the front-
passenger seat, alway smake sure that the
front-passenge rfront air bag is deactivated.
Only if the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp is permanently lit (
Ypag e39) is the front-
passenger front air bag deactivated.
Always observe the child restraint system man-
ufacturer's installation and operating instruc-
tions.
