gered unintentionally or may not deploy as
intended during an accident.This can affect
for example the Emergency Tensioning
Device or the air bag. This poses an increased
risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Have the restraint system checked and
repaired in aqualified specialist workshop as
soon as possible.
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp :is
part of the BabySmart™ air bag deactivation
system.
Ap ermanently lit PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp informs you that the front-
passenger front air bag is deactivated.
Depending on the person in the front-passenger
seat, the front-passenger front air bag must
either be deactivated or enabled; see the fol-
lowing points. You must make sure of this both
before and during ajourney.
RChildren in achild restraint system:
whether the front-passenger front air bag is
enabled or deactivated depends on the instal- led child restraint system, and the age and
size of the child. Therefore, always observe
the information on "Children in the vehicle"
(
Ypage 49). There you will also find instruc-
tions on rearward and forward-facingc hild
restraint systems on the front-passenger
seat.
RAll other persons: the PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF indicator lamp must be off. Be sure to
observe the notes on "Seat
belts“ (
Ypage 39) and "Air bags"
(Ypage 43). There you can also find infor-
mation on the corrects eat position. Observe the information on the BabySmart™ air
bag deactivation system in the front-passenger
seat (
Ypage 53).
Seat belts
Introduction
Seat belts are the most effective means of
restricting the movement of vehicle occupants
in the event of an accident or the vehicle rolling
over. This reduces the risk of vehicle occupants
coming into contact with parts of the vehicle
interior or being ejected from the vehicle. Fur-
thermore, the seat belt helps to keep the vehicle
occupant in the best position in relation to the
air bag.
The seat belt system comprises:
RSeat belts
REmergency Tensioning Devices for the front
seat belts and the outer seat belts in the rear
RSeat belt force limiters
If the seat belt is pulled out at the belt sash guide
quickly or with ajerk ym ovement ,the belt
retractor locks. The belt strap cannot be extrac-
ted any further.
The Emergency Tensioning Device tighten sthe
seat belt in an accident,p ulling the belt close
against the body. However it does not pull the
vehicle occupant back in the direction of the
backrest.
The Emergency Tensioning Device does not cor-
rect an incorrect seat position or the routing of
an incorrectly fastened seat belt.
When triggered, aseat belt force limiter helps to
reduce the force exerted by the seat belt on the
vehicle occupant.
The seat belt force limiters for the front seats are
synchronized with the front air bags, which
absorb part of the deceleration force. This can
reduce the force exerted on the vehicle occu-
pants during an accident.
!If the front-passenger seat is unoccupied,
do not insert the belt tongue into the buckle of
the front-passenger seat. This may otherwise
lead to the triggering of the Emergency Ten-
sioning Device in the event of an accident,
which will then need to be replaced.

Children in the vehicle
Important safety notes
Accident statistics show that children secured
in the rear seats are safer than children secured
in the front-passenger seat. For this reason,
Mercedes-Benz strongly advises that you install
ac hild restraint system on arear seat. Children
are generally better protected there.
If ac hild younger than twelve years old and
under 5ft(1.50m )inh eight is travelin ginthe
vehicle:
Ralwayss ecure the child in achild restraint
system suitable for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
The child restraint system must be appropri-
ate to the age, weight and size of the child
Rbe sure to observe the instruction sand safety
notes in this section in addition to the child
restraint system manufacturer's installation
instructions
GWARNING
If you leave children unsupervised in the vehi-
cle, they could set it in motion by, for example:
Rrelease the parking brake.
Rshift the automatic transmission out of the
parking position P.
Rstart the engine.
In addition, they may operate vehicle equip-
ment and become trapped. There is arisk of
an accident and injury.
Children in the vehicle49
Safety
Z

When leaving the vehicle, alwaystake the
SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle. Never
leave children unsupervised in the vehicle.
GWARNING
If persons, particularly children are subjected to prolonged exposure to extreme heat or
cold, there is arisk of injury, possibly even
fatal. Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle.
GWARNING
If the child restraint system is subjected to
direct sunlight, parts may get very hot. Chil-
dren may burn themselves on these parts,
particularly on the metal parts of the child
restraint system. There is arisk of injury.
If you leave the vehicle, takin gthe child with
you, alwayse nsure that the child restraint
system is not exposed to direct sunlight. Pro- tect it with ablanket ,for example. If the child
restraint system has been exposed to direct
sunlight, let it cool down before securing the
child in it. Never leave children unattended in
the vehicle.
Always ensure that all vehicle occupantsh ave
their seat belts fastened correctly and are sitting
properly. Particular attention must be paid to
children.
Observe the safety notes on the seat belt
(
Ypage 40) and the notes on correct use of seat
belts (Ypage 41).
Ab ooster seat may be necessary to achieve
proper seat belt positionin gfor children over
41 lbs (1 8kg)until they reach aheight where a
three-point seat belt can be properly fastened
without abooster seat.
Special seat belt retractor
GWARNING
If the seat belt is released while driving, the
child restraint system will no longer be
secured properly. The special seat belt retrac- tor is disabled and the inertia real draws in a
portion of the seat belt. The seat belt cannot
be immediately refastened. There is an
increased risk of injury, possibly even fatal.
Stop the vehicle immediately, paying atten-
tion to road and traffic conditions. Reactivate
the special seat belt retractor and secure the
child restraint system properly.
All seat belts except the driver's seat belt are
equipped with aspecial seat belt retractor.
When activated, the special seat belt retractor
ensures that the seat belt will not slacken once
the child restraint system has been secured.
Installing achild restraint system:

manufacturer's installation instructions.
XPull the seat belt smoothly out of the belt sash
guide.
XEngage the seat belt tongue in the belt buckle.
Activating the special seat belt retractor:
XPull the seat belt out fully and let the inertia
reel retract it again.
While the seat belt is retracting, you should
hear aratchetin gsound. The special seat belt
retractor is activated.
XPush the child seat restraint system down so
that the seat belt is tight and does not loosen.

Safety

GWARNING
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:
Rcome into contact with the vehicle's inte-
rior if the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indi-
cator lamp is lit, for example
Rbe struck by the air bag if the PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp is off
This poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Move the front-passenge rseat as far back as
possible.A lways make sure that the shoulder
belts trap is correctly routed from the vehicle
belts ash guide to the shoulderb eltguide on
the child restraint system. The shoulderb elt
strap must be routed forwards and down-
wards from the belts ash guide. If necessary,
adjust the belts ash guide and the front-
passenger seat accordingly.A lways observe
the information about suitable positioning of
the child restraint system in this Operator's
Manual as wellast he child restraint system

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,

(
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-
