Vehicles with BabySmart

TM

air bag deactiva-

tion system, Canada only:

Children 12 years old and under must never

ride in the front seat, except in a

Mercedes-Benz authorized BabySmart

TM

compatible child seat, which operates with

the BabySmart

TM

system installed in the

vehicle to deactivate the front passenger

front air bag when it is properly installed.

Otherwise they will be struck by the air bag

when it inflates in a crash. If this happens,

serious or fatal injury will result.

Warning!

G

According to accident statistics, children

are safer when properly restrained in the

rear seating positions than in the front seat-

ing position. Thus, we strongly recommend

that children be placed in the rear seats

whenever possible. Regardless of seating

position, children 12 years old and under

must be seated and properly secured in an

appropriately sized infant restraint, toddler

restraint, or booster seat recommended for

the size and weight of the child. For addi-

tional information, see “Children in the vehi-

cle” (

page 93).

A child’s risk of serious or fatal injuries is

significantly increased if the child restraints

are not properly secured in the vehicle

and/or the child is not properly secured in

the child restraint.
