Child restraint system on the front-
passenger seat
General notes
Accident statistics show that children
secured in the rear seats are safer than chil-
dren secured in the front-passenger seat. For
this reason, Mercedes-Benz strongly advises
that you install the child restraint system on a
rear seat.
If it is absolutely necessary to install a child
restraint system on the front-passenger seat,
be sure to observe the instructions and safety
notes on the "Occupant Classification System
(OCS)" (
Y
page 49).
You can thus avoid the risks that could arise
as a result of:
R
an incorrectly categorized person in the
front-passenger seat
R
the unintentional deactivation of the front-
passenger front air bag
R
the unsuitable positioning of the child
restraint system, e.g. too close to the dash-
board
