2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA SUV airbag disable

that you do not interfere with the correct rout-
ing of Top Tether belt ?.Child restraint system on the front-
passenger seat
General notes Accident statistics show that children secured
on the rear seats are safer than children secured on the front-passenger seat. For this reason,
Mercedes-Benz strongly advises that you install
a child restraint system on a rear seat.
Vehicles with the automatic front-
passenger front airbag deactivation system:
if it is absolutely necessary to fit a child restraint
system to the front-passenger seat, always
observe the information on the "Automatic
front-passenger front airbag deactivation sys-
tem" (Y page 49).
You can thus avoid the risks that could arise as a result of:
R a child restraint system that is not detected
by the automatic front-passenger front airbag
deactivation system
R unintentional disabling of the front-passenger
front airbag
R unsuitable positioning of the child restraint
system, e.g. too close to the dashboard Please observe the warning notice on the
front-passenger sun visor; see illustration. G
WARNING
If you secure a child in a rearward-facing child
restraint system on the front-passenger seat
and the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp is off, the front-passenger front airbag
can deploy in the event of an accident. The child could be struck by the airbag. This poses
an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Make sure that the front-passenger front air-
bag has been disabled. The PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF indicator lamp must be lit.
NEVER use a rearward-facing child restraint
on a seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in
front of it; DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the
child can occur.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
goes out, the front-passenger front airbag is
enabled (Y page 42).
Vehicles without the automatic front-
passenger front airbag deactivation
system If the front-passenger seat of your vehicle is not
equipped with the automatic front-passenger
front airbag deactivation system, this is indica-
ted by a special sticker. The sticker is affixed to
the side of the dashboard on the front-
passenger side. The sticker is visible when you
open the front-passenger door.
If you turn the key to position 2in the ignition
lock, the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF and
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamps light
up briefly. However, they have no function and
do not indicate that there is an automatic front- passenger front airbag deactivation system.
In this case, never fit a rearward-facing child
restraint system on the front passenger seat
(Y page 61).
Observe the following information under "Rear-
ward-facing child restraint system"
(Y page 61) and "Forward-facing child
restraint system" (Y page 61) as well as infor-
mation on the suitable positioning of the child
restraint system (Y page 61).60
Children in the vehicleSafety

Rearward-facing child restraint system
If it is absolutely necessary to fit a rearward-
facing child restraint system on the front-
passenger seat, always make sure that the
front-passenger front airbag is disabled. Only if
the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp is
lit continuously (Y page 42) is the front-
passenger front airbag disabled.
Always observe the information on suitable
positioning of the child restraint system
(Y page 61) in addition to the child restraint
system manufacturer's installation and operat-
ing instructions.
Forward-facing child restraint system If it is absolutely necessary to fit a forward-
facing child restraint system on the front-
passenger seat, always move the front-
passenger seat as far back as possible. Fully
retract the seat cushion length. The entire base
of the child restraint system must always rest on the seat cushion of the front-passenger seat.
The backrest of the child restraint system must,
as far as possible, lie flat against the backrest of the front-passenger seat. The child restraint sys-tem must not touch the roof or be put under
strain by the head restraint. Adjust the angle of
the seat backrest and the head restraint posi-
tion accordingly. Always make sure that the
shoulder belt strap is correctly routed from the
vehicle belt outlet to the shoulder belt guide on
the child restraint system. The shoulder belt
strap must be routed forwards and downwards
from the vehicle belt outlet. If necessary, adjust
the vehicle belt outlet and the front-passenger
seat accordingly.
Always observe the information on suitable
positioning of the child restraint system
(Y page 61) in addition to the child restraint
system manufacturer's installation and operat-
ing instructions. Suitable positioning of the child
restraint system
Introduction Only child restraint systems approved in accord-
ance with ECE standards ECE R44 or ECE R129 (i-Size child restraint systems) are permitted for use in the vehicle. For certain child restraint systems in weight cat-
egories II or III, this can mean that the area of
use is restricted. The maximum size setting of
the child restraint system may not be 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" or an "i-Size" label. Example: approval label on the child restraint
system
ISOFIX or i-Size child restraint systems of the
“Universal“ category can be used on seats label- led U, UF, IUF or i-U in accordance with the fol-
lowing tables:
R suitability of the seats for attaching belt-
secured child restraint systems
R Suitability of the seats for attaching ISOFIX
child restraint systems
R Suitability of the seats for attaching an i-Size
child restraint system
Semi-universal child restraint systems are indi-
cated by the text "semi-universal" on the
approval label. These can be used if the vehicle and the seat are listed in the child restraint sys-
tem manufacturer's vehicle model list. For more
information, contact the child restraint system
manufacturer or visit their website. Children in the vehicle

Suitability of the seats for attaching ISOFIX child restraint systems
If you use a baby car seat of category 0 or 0+ or a rearward-facing child restraint system of category
I on a rear seat, you must adjust the driver's or front-passenger seat so that the seat does not touch the child restraint system.
If you use a category I, forward-facing child restraint system, you should remove the head restraintfrom the respective seat, if possible (Y page 109). The backrest of the child restraint system must,
as far as possible, lie flat against the backrest of the seat.
Make sure that the child's feet do not touch the front seat. If necessary, move the front seat forward
slightly.
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 may not be possible due to
possible contact with the roof.
Always observe the notes in the "Child restraint system" section (Y page 57)and the child restraint
system manufacturer's installation instructions.
When you remove the child restraint system, you must replace the head restraints again immedi-
ately (Y page 108). All vehicle occupants must adjust their head restraints correctly before begin-
ning the journey.
1 The vehicle is equipped with an automatic front-passenger front airbag deactivation system. The PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp must be lit.
2 Child restraint systems with a supporting bracket are not suitable for this seat. Children in the vehicle

G WARNING
The front-passenger front airbag does not deploy during an accident.
This poses an increased risk of injury.
X Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible, paying attention to road
and traffic conditions.
X Secure the vehicle against rolling away (Y page 166).

X Observe the PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator lamps on the centre
console and the multifunction display and check the following:
Seat unoccupied and ignition switched on:
R a self-diagnosis is carried out. The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF and
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamps light up simultaneously for approximately six seconds
R the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp must then light up
