If an infant or child is traveling with you in
the vehicle:
The seat belts for the front and rear outer
seats are equipped with emergency ten-
sioning devices and belt force limiters.
An emergency tensioning device (ETD) that
was activated must be replaced.
ț
Secure the child using an infant or child
restraint appropriate to the age and
size of the child and recommended for
use by Mercedes-Benz.
When scrapping the emergency tensioning
device, our safety instructions must be fol-
lowed. These are available at your autho-
rized Mercedes-Benz Center.
The ETD is designed to activate in the fol-
lowing cases when the seat belts are fas-
tened:
ț
Ensure that the infant or child is prop-
erly secured at all times while the vehi-
cle is in motion.
ț
in frontal or rear-end impacts exceed-
ing a preset severity level
!
ț
ț
in certain vehicle rollovers
Do not place objects heavier than 20
lbs (9 kg) on the front passenger seat.
This could cause the front or side im-
pact airbag on the front passenger side
to deploy in a crash which exceeds the
system's deployment threshold.
Infant and child restraint seats and infor-
mation on choosing an appropriate re-
straint system can be obtained from any
Mercedes-Benz Center.
if the restraint systems are operational
and functioning correctly. See 1 in-
dicator lamp (୴ page 54).
In an impact, emergency tensioning devic-
es remove slack from the belts in such a
way that the seat belts fit more snugly
against the body. Belt force limiters reduce
the force exerted by the seat belts on oc-
cupants during a crash.
Infant and child restraint systems
Use only a BabySmartTM compatible child
restraint for the front passenger seat in
this vehicle.
Automatic comfort-fit feature seat belt
An automatic comfort-fit feature for front
seats reduces the retracting force of the
seat belts when they are in normal use.
We recommend all infants and children be
properly restrained at all times while the
vehicle is in motion.
