unsuitable accessories. This poses an
increased risk of injury!
Never alter the child restraint system. Only
attach accessories which the manufacturer
of the child restraint system has authorised
especially for this child restraint system.
Mercedes‑Benz recommends Mercedes-Benz
care products for cleaning child restraint sys‐
tems recommended by Mercedes-Benz.

an accident, heavy braking or a sudden
change of direction.
