Warning!
The seat belts provide protection only with
the seat backrest locked in place.
Therefore, the seat backrest must be
locked in place with the vehicle in motion.
Do not drive the vehicle when the seat
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 seat 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 seat
backrest and fold the seat backrest all the
way back until it locks in place.
The warning message is no longer
displayed as soon as the seat backrest is
locked in place. If both seat backrests are
locked in place and the warning message is
still displayed, have the system checked at
an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center
immediately.

The automatic seat slide is provided with

adjustment switch to bring the seat into the
desired position.
When folding the seat backrest forward
from a reclined position, and then folding it
back, the seat backrest stops in a more
upright position for the safety of any rear-
seat passenger. Adjust the seat backrest
until your arms are slightly angled when
holding the steering wheel.
