WARNING
Child restraint systems or their securing sys-
tems that have been damaged or subjected to
a load in an accident cannot perform their
intended protective function. In the event of
an accident, sharp braking or a sudden
change in direction, the child may not be held
securely. There is an increased risk of serious
or even fatal injuries.
Immediately replace child restraint systems
that have been damaged or subjected to a
load in an accident. Have the child restraint
securing systems checked in a qualified spe-
cialist workshop before fitting a child restraint
system again.
The securing systems of child restraint sys-
tems are:
R
the seat belt system
R
the ISOFIX securing rings
R
the Top Tether anchorages
If it is absolutely necessary to fit a child
restraint system to the front-passenger seat,
always observe the information on "Child
restraint systems on the front-passenger
seat" (
Y
page 61).
Observe the warning labels in the vehicle inte-
rior and on the child restraint system.

It is advisable to use Mercedes-Benz care
products to clean child restraint systems
recommended by Mercedes-Benz. You can
obtain information about this at any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
ISOFIX child seat securing system
G
WARNING
ISOFIX child restraint systems do not offer
sufficient protective effect for children whose
weight is greater than 22 kg who are secured
using the safety belt integrated in the child
restraint system. The child could, for example,
not be restrained correctly in the event of an
accident. This poses an increased risk of
injury or even fatal injury.
If the child weighs more than 22 kg, only use
ISOFIX child restraint systems with which the
child is also secured with the vehicle seat belt.
Also secure the child restraint system with the
Top Tether belt, if available.
When fitting a child restraint system, be sure
to observe the manufacturer's installation
and operating instructions and the instruc-
tions for correct use of the child restraint sys-
tem (
Y
page 62).
Before every trip, make sure that the ISOFIX
child restraint system is engaged correctly in
both ISOFIX securing rings.
!
When fitting the child restraint system,
make sure that the seat belt for the centre
seat does not get trapped. Otherwise, the
seat belt could be damaged.
