ward until it engages in driving posi- tion. The seat and head restraint return to their previous positions.


i To interrupt the procedure, activate the seat adjustment switch (컄 page 340) or move the re- lease lever again.


! When moving the seat, make sure there are no items in the footwell or behind the seats. Oth- erwise you could damage the seats.


Warning!


Always ensure that no one can become trapped or injured when the seat is moving. In case potential danger exists, the proce- dure can be interrupted by moving the seat adjustment switch (컄 page 340) in the door control panel or by moving the release lever again.


Warning!


The seat belts provide protection only with the backrest locked in place. Therefore, the backrest must be locked in place with the vehicle in motion. Do not drive the vehicle when the backrest is not locked in place. If the warning message:


Seat backrest, Front Right not locked


or


Seat backrest, Front Left not locked


is displayed in the multifunction display, then the respective backrest is not engaged in its lock. Carefully slow down, and drive with caution to an area which is in a safe dis- tance from the roadway. Always provide suf- ficient room behind the backrest and fold the backrest all the way back until it locks in place.


The warning message is no longer displayed as soon as the backrest is locked in place. If both backrests are locked in place and the warning message is still displayed, have the system checked at an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center immediately.


When leaving the vehicle, always remove the SmartKey or SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO* from the starter switch, take it with you, and lock the vehicle.


The power seats can also be operated with the driver’s or passenger door open. Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle or with access to an unlocked vehicle. A child’s unsupervised access to a vehicle could re- sult in an accident and/or serious personal injury.


Never place hands under seat or near any moving parts during a seat adjustment pro- cedure.

! The automatic seat slide is provided with a safety feature. The automatic process is interrupted if the back- rest of the sliding seat is pushed against an oc- cupant or object. The seat will slide forward and stop. Investigate and correct the cause of interruption. Now use memory button (컄 page 358) or seat adjustment switch (컄 page 340) to bring the seat into the desired position. When folding the backrest forward from a re- clined position, and then folding it back, the backrest stops in a more upright position for the safety of any rear-seat passenger. Adjust the backrest until your arms are slightly angled when holding the steering wheel (컄 page 340).

Easy-entry/exit feature


This feature allows for easier entry into and exit from the vehicle. When entering and exiting the vehicle, the driver’s seat is in its maximum rearward position and the steer- ing wheel is in its uppermost position. The easy-entry/exit feature can be activat- ed or deactivated in the “Vehicle” menu of the COMAND system (컄 page 239).


344


! Do not activate the easy-entry/exit feature if the seat backrest is in an excessively reclined position. Doing so could cause damage to front or rear seats. First move the seat backrest to an upright posi- tion.


With the easy-entry/exit feature activated, the steering wheel and driver’s seat will re- turn to their last set memory position or a factory-set maximum forward position when you: 앫 close the driver’s door with the ignition


switched on


앫 insert the SmartKey into the starter


switch or press the KEYLESS-GO* start/stop button (컄 page 337) once with the driver’s door closed


Warning!


You must make sure no one can become trapped or injured by the moving steering wheel and driver’s seat when the easy-en- try/exit feature is activated.


To stop seat/steering wheel movement, do one of the following: 앫 Press seat adjustment switch


(컄 page 340).


앫 Move steering wheel adjustment stalk


(컄 page 351).


앫 Press one of the memory position but-


tons or the memory button M (컄 page 358).


Do not leave children unattended in the ve- hicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Children could open the driver’s door and unintentionally activate the easy-entry/exit feature, which could result in an accident and/or serious personal injury.


i For safety reasons, the driver’s seat will not return to its last set position with the easy-en- try/exit feature activated if the system recogniz- es the last set position as an extreme forward position. Instead, the driver’s seat will remain at or move to a factory-set maximum forward posi- tion. To again fully return the driver’s seat to your last set position or to memory position, adjust the seat to the desired position or press and hold the respective memory position button (컄 page 358).


i The last set driver’s seat and steering wheel positions are stored when 앫 the ignition is switched off (컄 page 336) 앫 the position is stored in memory


(컄 page 357)


With the easy-entry/exit feature activated the steering wheel tilts upwards and the driver’s seat moves a few inches to the rear when you: 앫 remove the SmartKey from the starter


switch, or


앫 open the driver’s door with the


SmartKey in starter switch position 0 or 1 or the KEYLESS-GO* start/stop button (컄 page 337) in position 1


i If the current position for the steering wheel is in the uppermost tilt position, the steering wheel will no longer be able to move upward when the easy-entry/exit feature is activated. If the current seat position falls into a factory-set position range and the system recognizes the current seat position to be rearward enough for easy entry and exit, the driver’s seat will not move to the rear when the easy-entry/ exit fea- ture is activated. The adjustment procedure is briefly interrupted when the engine is started.


Controls in detail Seats


Warning!


Let the system complete the adjustment procedure before setting the vehicle in mo- tion. All driver’s seat and steering wheel ad- justments must be completed before setting the vehicle in motion. Driving off with the driver’s seat/steering wheel still adjusting could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

Warning!


Warning!


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” (컄 page 57). A child’s risk of serious or fatal injuries is significantly increased if the child restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle and the child is not properly secured in the child restraint.


Never let more people ride in the vehicle than there are seat belts available. Be sure everyone riding in the vehicle is correctly re- strained with a separate seat belt. Never use a seat belt for more than one person at a time.


Warning!


Never ride in a moving vehicle with the seat backrest in an excessively reclined position as this can be dangerous. You could slide under the seat belt in a collision. If you slide under it, the belt would apply force at the ab- domen or neck. That could cause serious or even fatal injuries. The seat backrest and seat belt provide the best restraint when the wearer is in a nearly upright position and the belt is properly positioned on the body.


Always fasten your seat belt before driving off. Always make sure all of your passengers are properly restrained.


Failure to wear and properly fasten and position your seat belt greatly increases your risk of injuries and their likely severity in an accident. You and your passengers should always wear seat belts.


If you are ever in an accident, your injuries can be considerably more severe without your seat belt properly buckled. Without your seat belt buckled, you are much more likely to hit the interior of the vehicle or be ejected from it. You can be seriously injured or killed.


In the same crash, the possibility of injury or death is lessened if you are wearing your seat belt. The air bags can only provide the protection they were designed to afford if the occupants are using their seat belts (컄 page 42).

Proper use of seat belts


앫 Do not twist the belt when fastening. 앫 Adjust seat belt so that the shoulder


portion is located as close as possible to the middle of the shoulder (it should not touch the neck). Never pass the shoulder portion of the belt under your arm.


앫 Position the lap belt as low as possible


on your hips (over hip joint) and not across the abdomen.


앫 Place the seat backrest in a nearly up-


right position.


앫 Never use a seat belt for more than one


person at a time.


앫 Do not fasten a seat belt around a per-


son and another object at the same time. When using a seat belt to secure infant restraint, toddler restraint, or booster seat always follow the child seat manufacturer’s instructions.


362


앫 Check your seat belt during travel to


make sure that it is properly posi- tioned.


앫 Make sure the seat belt is always fitted snugly. Take special care of this when wearing loose clothing.


Warning!


Do not pass belts over sharp edges. They could tear.


Do not allow the belt to get caught in the door or in the seat adjustment mechanism. This could damage the belt.


Never attempt to make modifications to seat belts. This could impair the effective- ness of the belts.


Do not bleach or dye seat belts as this may severely weaken them. In a crash, they may not be able to provide adequate protection.


Damaged seat belts or belts that were highly stressed in an accident must be replaced. Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.


왔 Lighting i If you drive in countries where vehicles drive on the other side of the road than the country in which the vehicle is registered, you must have the headlamps modified for symmetrical low beams. Relevant information can be obtained at your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
