Never allow babies and children to travel sitting
on the lap of another vehicle occupant.
To improve protection for children younger than
12 years old or under 5 (1.50 m) in height,
Mercedes-Benz recommends you observe the fol-
lowing information:
R
Always secure the child in a child restraint sys-
tem suitable for this Mercedes-Benz vehicle.
R
The child restraint system must be appropriate
to the age, weight and size of the child.
R
The vehicle seat must be suitable for installing
a child restraint system.
Accident statistics show that children secured on
the rear seats are generally safer than children
secured on the front seats. For this reason,
Mercedes-Benz strongly advises that you install a
child restraint system on a rear seat.
