Some systems are optional. Even the most advanced safety systems may not be sufficient to avoid an accident. It is the driver's responsibility at all times to be attentive to traffic and road conditions, and to provide the steering, braking and other driving inputs necessary to retain control of the vehicle. Drivers are cautioned not to wait for system alerts before braking or taking evasive action, as that may not afford sufficient time and distance. See Operator's Manual for system operating speeds and additional information and warnings.

WARNING: THE FORCES OF A DEPLOYING AIR BAG CAN CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES TO A CHILD UNDER AGE 13. THE SAFEST SEATING POSITION FOR YOUR CHILD IS IN THE REAR SEAT, BELTED INTO AN APPROPRIATE, PROPERLY INSTALLED CHILD SEAT, OR CORRECTLY WEARING A SEAT BELT IF TOO LARGE FOR A CHILD SEAT. SEE OPERATOR'S MANUAL FOR ADDITIONAL WARNINGS AND INFORMATION ON AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS AND CHILD SEATS.

Special safety considerations may be necessary for vehicles equipped with rear-cabin air bags, which may be present in various locations, and activated in different situations. SEE OPERATOR'S MANUAL FOR ADDITIONAL WARNINGS AND INFORMATION ON AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS AND CHILD SEATS. THE FORCES OF A DEPLOYING AIR BAG COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES IF APPROPRIATE SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS ARE NOT OBSERVED.

SEE OPERATOR'S MANUAL FOR ADDITIONAL WARNINGS AND INFORMATION ON AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS AND CHILD SEATS. Always use LATCH or ISOFIX to fasten a child seat in the vehicle. For vehicles equipped with the optional rear seat-belt air bags, only use a Mercedes-Benz approved booster seat. Never use an air bag-equipped seat belt to fasten a front- or rear-facing child seat or a non-approved booster seat.
