G Warning!
According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seating positions than in the front
seating position. Thus, we strongly
recommend that children be placed in the
rear seats whenever possible. Regardless
of seating position, children 12 years old
and under must be seated and properly
secured in an appropriate infant restraint,
toddler restraint, or booster seat
If the59 indicator lamp does
not illuminate, the system is not
functioning. You must contact an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center before
seating any child on the front passenger
seat.
RChildren 12 years old and under must
never ride in the front seat, except in a
Mercedes-Benz authorized
BabySmartTM compatible child seat,
which operates with the BabySmartTM
system installed in the vehicle to
deactivate the front passenger front air

bag when it inflates in a crash. If this
happens, serious or fatal injury will
result.

incorrectly mounted child seat could cause
injuries to the child in case of an accident,
instead of increasing protection for the
child.
The infant or child restraint must be
properly secured with the vehicle’s seat
belt, the seat belt and top tether strap, or
lower anchors and top tether strap, fully in
accordance with the child seat

the front passenger seat will be seriously
injured or even killed if the front
passenger front air bag inflates in a
collision which could occur under some
circumstances, even with the air bag
technology installed in your vehicle. The
only means to completely eliminate this
risk is to never place a child in a rear-
