• Occupants, especially children, should never

lean their heads in the area of the door where

the side airbag inflates. This could result in

serious injuries or death should the airbag be

triggered.

• Children 12 years old and under must never

ride in the front seat, except in a

Mercedes-Benz authorized Baby Smart

compatible child seat, which operates with the

BabySmart

system installed in the vehicle to

deactivate the passenger side front airbag

when it is properly installed. Otherwise they

will be struck by the airbag when it inflates in

a crash. If this happens, serious or fatal injury

can result.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in

severe injuries to you or other occupants.

Warning!

Accident research shows that the safest place for

children in an automobile is in the rear seat.

Should you choose to place a child 12 years old or

under in the front passenger seat of your vehicle,

you must properly use a BabySmart

child

restraint which will turn off the passenger side

front airbag. BabySmart

will not, however, turn

off the vehicle’s side impact airbag.

It should be noted that with respect to both front

and rear side impact airbags there is a possibility

for a side airbag related injury if occupants,

especially children, are not properly seated or

restrained when next to a side airbag which needs

to deploy rapidly in a side impact in order to do its

job.
