Children in the vehicle
60
Children can be killed or seriously injured by
an inflating air bag. Note the following
important information when circumstances
require you to place a child in the front-
passenger seat:
We therefore strongly recommend that you
always place a child in a rear-facing child
restraint on the rear seat.
RIf you must install a rear-facing child
restraint on the front-passenger seat
because circumstances require you to do
so, make sure the42
indicator lamp is illuminated, indicating
that the front-passenger front air bag is
deactivated. Should the42
indicator lamp not illuminate or go out while
the restraint is installed, please check
installation. Periodically check the
RUSA only: Your vehicle is equipped with air
bag technology that is designed to
deactivate the front-passenger front air
bag, when the system on the front-
passenger seat detects the weight of a
typical 12-month old child in a standard
child restraint.
RUSA only: Children that weigh more than a
typical 12-month old child, the front-
passenger front air bag may be activated/
deactivated. Always make sure that the
42 indicator lamp while
driving to make sure that the
42
indicator lamp is
illuminated. If the42 indicator
lamp goes out or remains out, do not
transport a child on the passenger seat
until the system has been repaired.

A child in a rear-facing child restraint on the
passenger seat will be seriously injured or
even killed if the passenger front air bag
inflates.
BabySmart™ compatible child restraint
system is installed on the front-passenger
seat. Use only Mercedes-Benz approved
BabySmart™ compatible child restraint
systems. A BabySmart™ compatible child
restraint system will deactivate the front-
passenger front air bag when installed
correctly. The front-passenger front air bag
will not be deactivated if the child restraint
systems that are installed are not
BabySmart™ compatible or if BabySmart™
compatible child restraint systems are not
installed correctly. If the front-passenger
front air bag is deployed, the child could be
killed when it inflates in a crash. This could
lead to serious or fatal injury.
RIf you place a child in a forward-facing child
restraint on the passenger seat:
-
-
move the seat as far back as possible
use the proper child restraint
recommended for the age, size and
weight of the child
-
secure child restraint with the vehicle's
seat belt according to the child seat
manufacturer's instructions
RFor children larger than the typical 12-
month-old child, the passenger front air bag
may or may not be activated.
RA child in a rear-facing child restraint on the
passenger seat will be seriously injured or
even killed if the 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 eliminate this risk
completely is never to place a child in a
rear-facing child restraint in the front seat.
G Warning
Infants and small children should never share
a seat belt with another occupant. During an
accident, they could be crushed between the
occupant and seat belt.
A child's risk of serious or fatal injuries is
significantly increased if the child restraints
are not properly secured in the vehicle and/
