Safety and Security
Occupant safety
You cannot remove the active head
restraint on the driver’s and front passen-
ger’s seats.
For removal of the active head restraints
we recommend that you contact an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck
Center.
For information on head restraint adjust-
ment, see “Seats” (
୴ page 43).
For information on resetting the activated
active head restraints, see “Resetting acti-
vated head restraints” (
୴ page 477).
Rear head restraints Children in the vehicle
If an infant or child is traveling with you in
the vehicle:
ț Secure the child using an infant or child
restraint appropriate to the age and
size of the child.
ț Make sure the infant or child is
properly secured at all times while
the vehicle is in motion.
Warning!
G
Do not drive the vehicle without the seat
head restraints installed when the rear seats
are occupied. Head restraints are intended
to help reduce injuries during an accident.
With the second-row middle seat* or a
third-row seat occupied, make sure to move
the respective head restraint up from the
lowest non-use position and have the occu-
pant adjust the head restraint properly.
For your protection, drive only with properly
positioned head restraints.
Adjust the head restraint in such a way that
it is as close to the head as possible and the
head restraint supports the back of the head
at eye level. This will reduce the potential for
injury to the head and neck in the event of
an accident or similar situation.
Warning!
G
Do not leave children unattended in the
vehicle, even if they are secured in a child
restraint system. The children could
ț injure themselves on parts of the vehicle
ț be seriously or fatally injured through
excessive exposure to extreme heat or
cold
