Safety and Security
Occupant safety
For information on resetting the activated
active head restraints, see “Resetting acti-
vated head restraints” (
୴ page 440).
You cannot remove the active head re-
straint on the driver’s and front passen-
ger’s seats.
For removal of the active head restraints
we recommend that you contact an autho-
rized Mercedes-Benz Center.
For information on head restraint adjust-
ment, see “Seats” (
୴ page 41).
Children in the vehicle
If an infant or child is traveling with you in
the vehicle:
̈ Secure the child using an infant or child
restraint appropriate to the age and
size of the child.
̈ Make sure that the infant or child is
properly secured at all times while the
vehicle is in motion.
Infant and child restraint seats and
information on choosing an appropriate
restraint system can be obtained from any
Mercedes-Benz Center.
Warning!
G
Only use seat or head restraint covers which
have been tested and approved by
Mercedes-Benz for your vehicle model. Us-
ing other seat or head restraint covers may
interfere with or prevent the activation of
the active head restraints. Contact your au-
thorized Mercedes-Benz Center for availabil-
ity.
Warning!
G
For your protection, drive only with properly
positioned head restraints.
Adjust the head restraint so that the center
of the head restraint supports the back of
the head at eye level. This will reduce the po-
tential for injury to the head and neck in the
event of an accident or similar situation.
Do not drive the vehicle without the seat
head restraints. Head restraints are intend-
ed to help reduce injuries during an acci-
dent.
Warning!
G
Do not leave children unattended in the ve-
hicle, even if they are secured in a child re-
straint 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.
