Safety
Seat belts
Federally approved seat belts are provided for the
use of the driver, passenger, the second row captains
chairs, and the rear lounge� Most states require by law
that all passengers in a motor vehicle use seat belts
while in transit� It is strongly recommended that all
occupants remain seated with their safety belts firmly
attached while the touring coach is in transit� The driver
should adjust his or her seat so that he or she is able
to reach all controls easily with the belt on, and be
able to use all the travel on the foot brake� Seat belts
should be placed as low as possible around the hips
to prevent sliding out from under them in case of an
accident� This places the load of the body on the strong
hipbone structure instead of around the soft abdominal
area� Remember, there should only be one occupant
per seat belt when traveling�
The driver and front passenger seat belt buckle
operation is explained in the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
manual�
The rear lounge and rear captain chairs seat belt
buckles are secured by inserting the male end into the
female buckle until the buckles are secured� To release
the buckle press the release button on the female end�

WARNING
Become familiar with and follow all directions,
advice, and warnings pertaining to seats, seat belt
operation, and restraint systems, provided in the
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Operator’s Manual. Do not
allow passengers to ride anywhere in the touring
coach except in seats that are equipped with
approved seat belts.
WARNING
Children must be secured in a federally-approved
child restraint device. Failure to use proper
restraints while in transit can result in severe or
fatal injuries. Never place an infant seat that faces
to the rear on the front passenger seat. Never place
an unbelted infant seat on any seat while in transit.
Child restraint devices are designed to be secured
with lap or lap/shoulder belts� All instructions supplied
by the restraint manufacturer must be followed�
Statistics have shown children are safer when properly
restrained in a rear seating position than in a front
seating position�
Don’t hesitate when it comes to passenger safety�
Make sure all passengers are properly restrained�
Child Safety Seat
LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children)
LATCH is a system that makes child safety seat
installation easier (without using seat belts)� The
LATCH system is a standard feature on the second row
captains chairs in the Interstate GL models�
The LATCH equipped touring coach has two sets of
small bars, called anchors, located in the crease of
the seat where the back and bottom cushions meet�
LATCH compatible child safety seats have a lower set
of attachments that fasten to these vehicle anchors�
How to Install a LATCH Equipped Seat
1� ALWAYS read and follow the vehicle owner’s
manual and child safety seat manufacturer’s
instructions for correct installation and proper use�
2� Fasten the child safety seat’s lower attachments
to the vehicle’s lower anchors� Tighten and adjust
according to the instructions and check for a
secure fit. The child safety seat should not move
more than an inch forward or sideways�
NOTE
If you are unsure if your child safety seat is
compatible, look for the following LATCH logo.
