Sit properly belted in an upright position with
your back against the backrest.
• Occupants, especially children, should never
lean their heads in the area of the door where
the side airbag inflates. This could result in
serious injuries or death should the airbag be
triggered. Always sit upright, properly use the
seatbelts and appropriate size infant or child
restraint system
Adjust the driver’s seat as far as possible
rearward, still permitting proper operation of
vehicle controls. The distance from the center
of the driver’s breastbone to the center of the
airbag cover on the steering wheel must be at
least ten inches (25 cm) or more. You should
be able to accomplish this by a combination of
adjustments to the seat and steering wheel. If
you have any problems, please see your
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
• Children 12 years old and under must never
ride in the front seat, except in a Mercedes-
TM
Benz authorized Baby Smart compatible
child seat, which operates with the
TM
BabySmart system installed in the vehicle to
deactivate the passenger front airbag when it
is properly installed. Otherwise they will be
struck by the airbag when it inflates in a
crash. If this happens, serious or fatal injury
can result.

•
Do not lean with your head or chest close to the
steering wheel or dashboard.
Keep hands on the outside of steering wheel
rim. Placing hands and arms inside the rim
can increase the risk and potential severity of
hand/arm injury when driver front airbag
inflates.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
severe injuries to you or other occupants.
•
Adjust the front passenger seat as far as
possible rearward from the dashboard when
the seat is occupied.
