Controls in detail Seats Pull emergency release 1 in the direction of arrow. Push seat backrest 2 forwards. Warning! Front seat active head restraints Rear seats Warning! G Warning! G G For your protection, drive only with properly positioned head restraints. Adjust the head restraint so that it is close to the head as possible and the center of the head restraint supports the back of the head at eye level. This will reduce the potential for injury to the head and neck in the event of an accident or similar situation. To help avoid personal injury when folding the seat backrest forward, make sure that you move both feet and legs all the way back and out of the way to avoid them contacting the seat as it pivots forward. In order to prevent an accident or any other potentially dangerous situations when opening the rear door and exiting the vehicle, make sure that you are aware of the traffic situation at all times. Open the left door. Exit the vehicle. You cannot remove the active head restraints on the driver's and front passenger's seat. For removal of the active head restraints we recommend that you contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center. For information on head restraint adjustment, see "Seats" ( page 45). For information on active head restraints, see "Active head restraint" ( page 92). According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating position. Thus, we strongly recommend that children be placed in the rear seats. 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 additional information, see "Children in the vehicle" ( 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. 135
