Function of the automatic child seat recognition on the front passenger seat (vehicles with AMG sport bucket seats)
WARNING Risk of injury or death due to malfunctioning of the automatic child seat recognition
Electronic devices on the front passenger seat may impair the function of the automatic child seat recognition, for example:

  • notebook

  • mobile phone

  • transponder card, such as ski pass or access pass

The front passenger front airbag could deploy unintentionally or not function as intended in the event of an accident.

Do not place any of the devices mentioned above or similar devices on the front passenger seat.
Ensure, both before and during the journey, that the status of the front passenger airbag is correct.
WARNING Risk of injury or death due to removal of a seat cushion

If you remove a seat cushion, automatic child seat recognition on the front passenger seat will no longer function.

Therefore, the front passenger front airbag will deploy during an accident even if a special rearward-facing child restraint system is fitted.

Never remove a seat cushion.

The sensor system for the automatic child seat recognition on the front passenger seat detects whether a special Mercedes-Benz child restraint system with transponders for the automatic child seat recognition has been fitted. The PASSENGER AIR BAG ON and PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamps light up simultaneously for approximately six seconds when the ignition is switched on. The system carries out a self-test.

If the front passenger front airbag is disabled by the automatic child seat recognition, the following remain enabled on the front passenger side:

  • the side impact airbag

  • the window airbag

  • the seat belt tensioner

WARNING Risk of injury or fatal injury when using a child restraint system while the front passenger airbag is enabled

If you secure a child in a child restraint system on the front passenger seat and the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp is lit, the front passenger airbag can deploy in the event of an accident.

The child could be struck by the airbag.

In this case, always ensure that the front passenger airbag is disabled. The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp must be lit.

NEVER use a rearward-facing child restraint system on a seat with an ENABLED FRONT AIRBAG, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.

WARNING Risk of injury or fatal injury when the front passenger front airbag is disabled

If the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is lit, the front passenger airbag is disabled. It will not be deployed in the event of an accident and cannot perform its intended protective function.

A person in the front passenger seat could then, for example, come into contact with the vehicle's interior, especially if the person is sitting too close to the dashboard.

In this case the front passenger seat may not be used.
Only travel with a child who is sitting in a rearward-facing or forward-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat.
Always observe the information on suitable positioning of the child restraint system in this Owner's Manual in addition to the child restraint system manufacturer's installation instructions.
WARNING Risk of injury or fatal injury due to incorrect positioning of the child restraint system
If you secure a child in a forward-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat and you position the front passenger seat too close to the cockpit, in the event of an accident, the child could:

  • come into contact with parts of the vehicle's interior if the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp is lit, for example.

  • be struck by the airbag if the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp is lit.

Always move the front passenger seat as far back as possible. Always make sure that the shoulder belt strap is correctly routed from the belt loop on the vehicle to the shoulder belt guide on the child restraint system. The shoulder belt strap must be routed forwards and downwards from the belt loop.
Always observe the information on suitable positioning of the child restraint system in this Owner's Manual in addition to the child restraint system manufacturer's installation instructions.
The indicator lamps display the status of the front passenger airbag:

  • If the sensor system for the automatic child seat recognition on the front passenger seat has detected a special Mercedes-Benz child restraint system with a transponder, the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp lights up. The front passenger airbag is disabled. It will then not be deployed in the event of an accident.

  • If an occupant is detected on the front passenger seat, the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp lights up. The front passenger airbag is enabled. The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp does not light up. If, in the event of an accident, all deployment criteria are met, the front passenger airbag is deployed.

Observe the following information:

  • Suitability of seats for attaching belt-secured child restraint systems More

  • Forward-facing and rearward-facing child restraint systems on the front passenger seat More
