When you sell the vehicle we strongly urge you to give 
notice to the subsequent owner that it is equipped with 
an “SRS” by alerting him to the applicable section in the 
Operator’s Manual.
Infant and child restraint systems
Use only a BabySmart
TM
compatible child restraint in
this vehicle.
We recommend that all infants and children be properly 
restrained at all times while the vehicle is in motion.
The passenger lap-shoulder belt has a special seat belt 
retractor for secure fastening of a child restraint.
To fasten a child restraint follow child restraint 
instructions for routing. Then pull shoulder belt out 
completely. Slide switch located on side of passenger 
seat to position 
N. Let the belt retract. During the
seat belt retraction a ratcheting sound can be heard to 
indicate that the special seat belt retractor is activated. 
The belt is now locked. Push down on child restraint to 
take up any slack.
To deactivate, release seat belt buckle and let seat belt 
retract completely. The seat belt can again be used in 
the usual manner.
• For your protection and the protection of
others, when scrapping the airbag unit or 
emergency tensioning retractor, our safety 
instructions must be followed. These 
instructions are available at your authorized 
Mercedes-Benz Center.
• Given the considerable deployment speed and
the textile structure of the airbags, there is the 
possibility abrasions or other injuries 
resulting from airbag deployment.
Warning!
Never release the seat belt buckle while vehicle is 
in motion, since the special seat belt retractor will 
be deactivated.
