Controls in detail Seats Warning! G 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: Lock Seat Backrest Front Right or Lock Seat Backrest Front Left 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 distance from the roadway. Always provide sufficient 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 result in an accident and/or serious personal injury. Never place hands under seat or near any moving parts during a seat adjustment procedure. ! The automatic seat slide is provided with a safety feature. The automatic process is interrupted if the backrest of the sliding seat is pushed against an occupant or object. The seat will slide forward and stop. Investigate and correct the cause of interruption. Now use memory button ( page 386) or seat adjustment switch ( page 369) to bring the seat into the desired position. When folding the backrest forward from a reclined 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 ( page 369). For information on additional convenience features permitting easy entry and exit, see "Easy-entry/exit feature" ( page 373). 372
