G Warning
If the42 indicator lamp does not illuminate or remains out with the weight of a
typical 12-month-old child in a standard child restraint or less, or is unoccupied, on the front-
passenger seat, do not transport a child on the front-passenger seat until the system has been
repaired.
BabySmart™ air bag deactivation
system
Children can be killed or seriously injured by
an inflating air bag. Observe the following
important information if it is necessary to
carry a child on the front-passenger seat:
How the air bag deactivation system
functions
RCanada only: children 12 years old and
under must never ride in the front seat,
except in an authorized Mercedes-Benz
child restraint that is compatible with the
BabySmart™ child restraint system. If the
child restraint system is installed properly,
the front-passenger front air bag is
deactivated in conjunction with the
BabySmart™ system. Otherwise, the child
could be struck by the air bag when it
inflates in a crash. This could lead to serious
or fatal injury.
The BabySmart™ system is standard
equipment in Canada.
G Warning
According to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained on the rear
seats than on the front-passenger seat. For
this reason, Mercedes-Benz strongly advises
that you always secure children in the rear
seats. Regardless of seating position, children
12
years old and under must be seated and
properly secured in an appropriately sized
child restraint system or booster seat
recommended for the size and weight of the
child.
RA child in a rear-facing child restraint on 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 eliminate
this risk completely is never to place a child
in a rear-facing child restraint 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.
Secure the child restraint system using:
Rthe vehicle's seat belt
Rthe seat belt and a Top Tether belt
Rthe "LATCH" type child seat mount (ISOFIX)
and a Top Tether belt
The child restraint system must be installed
and secured correctly, observing the
manufacturer's installation instructions.
Occupants, especially children, should always
sit as upright as possible, wear the seat belt
properly and use an appropriately sized infant
restraint, toddler restraint, or booster seat
recommended for the size and weight of the
child.
RIf it is necessary to install a BabySmart™-
compatible rear-facing child restraint
system on the front-passenger seat, make
sure the42 indicator lamp is
illuminated. This indicates that the front-
passenger front air bag is disabled. Should
the42 indicator lamp not
illuminate or go out while the restraint is
installed, please check installation.
