Ac cident statistics show that children secured in
th ere ar seats are safer than children secured in
th e front seats. Forth is reason, Mercedes-Benz
stro ngly advises that you ins tall a child restra int
sy stem on a rear seat.
If it is absolutely necessary toins tall a child
re stra int sy stem on the front passenger seat,
alw ays obser vethe information on the automatic
front passenger airbag shutoff (
→page 41). By doing
this, you can avoidrisks caused by:
RAch ild restra int sy stem that is not de tected
by the automatic front passenger airbag
shutoff.
RThe unintentionally deactivated front
passenger airbag.
RIncor rect positioning of thech ild restra int

When using a rear wa rd-facing child restra int sys‐

te d. This is only the case if thePA SSENGER AIR
BA G OFF indicator lamp is lit continuously
(
→page 43).
When using thech ild restra int sy stem on the
front passenger seat, it is essential toobser ve
th efo llowing:
RMo vethe front passenger seat as far back as
possible.
RSet the seat backrest toan almost vertical
position.
RRe tract the seat cushion length as far as pos‐
sible.
RThe entire base of thech ild restra int sy stem
must alw aysre st on the sitting sur face of the
front passenger seat.
RThe backrest of thefo rw ard-facing child
re stra int sy stem must lie as flat as possible
against the seat backrest of the front
passenger seat. The child restra int sy stem
must not touch thero of or be put under
st ra in by the head restra ints.
RIf necessar y,adjust the angle of the seat
backrest and the head restra int position

Fu nctions of ABS (Anti-lock Brake Sy stem)
ABS regulates the brake pressure in critical driv‐
ing situations:
RDuring braking, e.g. at maximum full-s top
braking or insuf ficient traction of the tires,
th e wheels are pr evented from blocking.
RVehicle steerability while braking is ensured.
If ABS inter venes when braking, you will feel a
pulsing in the brake pedal. The pulsating brake
pedal can be an indication of hazardous road
conditions and can ser veas a reminder totake
ex tra care while driving. Sy
stem limitations
RABS is active from speeds of appr ox. 5 mph
(8 km/h).
RABS may be impaired or may not function if a
