not perform its protective function. The
child cannot be restrained in the event of a
sudden change of direction, heavy braking
or an accident. This may lead to serious or
even fatal injuries. For this reason, when
fitting a child restraint system observe the
manufacturer's installation instructions
and correct use of the child restraint sys-
tem.
The entire base of the child restraint system
must always be resting on the seat cushion.
Never place objects, e.g. a cushion, under
the child restraint system.
Only use child restraint systems with their
original covers. Only replace damaged cov-
ers with genuine Mercedes-Benz covers.
For safety reasons, you should only use
child restraint systems which have been
approved for use in Mercedes-Benz vehi-
cles.
