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
instructions and the instructions for correct
use of the child restraint system.

WARNING
The child restraint system cannot perform its
protective function if it is not correctly fitted
to a suitable vehicle seat. The child cannot be
restrained in the event of an accident, heavy
braking or sudden changes of direction. The
child could be seriously or even fatally injured.
For this reason, when securing a child
restraint system, always observe the manu-
facturer's installation instructions and the
correct use of the child restraint system.
For safety reasons, on the rear seats use only
child restraint systems with an ISOFIX child
seat securing system which have been tested
and approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
An incorrectly fitted child restraint system
could come loose and seriously or even fatally
injure the child or other vehicle occupants.
When fitting the child restraint system, always
make sure that it is engaged correctly in the
ISOFIX securing rings on both sides.
! When fitting the ISOFIX child restraint
system, make sure that the seat belt for the
centre seat does not get trapped. Other-
wise, the seat belt could be damaged.
When installing the ISOFIX child restraint sys-
tem, fold protective caps

ing rings
