follows:

You can use your child safety seat as
follows:
(Please observe the regulations applicable
in your particular country).
1) Use is permitted on a rearward-facing vehicle
seat (e.g. in a van or minibus) only if the vehicle
seat is also approved for use by adults. The
seat must not be in an area into which an air-
bag may deploy.
2) The safety belt must be approved in accordance
with ECE R 16 or a comparable standard (see
the approval label on the belt with an encircled
"E" or "e").

Mercedes-Benz vehicles equipped
with automatic child seat recogniti-
on
KIDFIX is fitted with two transponders
which disable the front-passenger seat air-
bags.
The automatic child seat recognition sys-
tem is able to detect these transponders.
The automatic child seat recognition sys-
tem is fitted in many, but not all, front-pas-
senger seats.
When you fit a KIDFIX child seat on a front-
passenger seat which is equipped with au-
tomatic child seat recognition, it is detec-
ted by the vehicle. The front airbag is
switched off automatically.
The “PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF” warning
lamp lights up to indicate that the airbags
are disabled. Now you can use the
KIDFIX child seat on the front-passenger
seat.
For the safety of your child, make sure
that:
• the child seat and the vehicle are equip-
ped with automatic child seat recogniti-
on.
