Points to remember

Information on folding the rear seat backrest forwards can be found at more.

Risk of injury

The seats can be adjusted when the key is removed and the door is open. For this reason, children should never be left unsupervised in the vehicle. They could become trapped by a seat adjustment movement.
Risk of accident

Only adjust the driver's seat when the vehicle is stationary. You will otherwise be distracted from the road and traffic conditions and you could lose control of the vehicle as a result of the seat moving. This could cause an accident.
Risk of injury

Make sure that nobody can become trapped when you adjust the seat.

Observe the notes concerning the airbag system.

Secure children as recommended; see "Children in the vehicle" section.

When you move the seats, make sure that there are no objects in the footwell or behind the seats. Otherwise, you could damage the seats and the objects.

The head restraints in the front seats are fitted with the NECK-PRO system. For this reason, it is not possible to remove the head restraints from the front seats.

For design reasons, some rear-compartment head restraints cannot be removed more.

Please contact a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for more information.
