G
Risk of injury
To reduce the risk of serious or even fatal
injury to the child in the event of a sudden
change in direction, braking or an accident:
R
children less than 1.50 m tall and under
twelve years of age must always be secured
in special child restraint systems on a suit-
able vehicle seat. This is necessary
because the seat belts are not designed for
children of this size.
R
do not secure children less than 1.50 m tall
or under twelve years of age on the front-
passenger seat. Exception: the child is
secured in a vehicle with automatic child
seat recognition on the front-passenger
seat* and is secured in a child restraint
system with automatic child seat recogni-
tion.
R
if you secure a forward-facing child
restraint system to the front-passenger
seat, you must move the front-passenger
seat as far back as possible.
R
children must never travel sitting on the lap
of another occupant. Due to the forces
occurring in the event of a sudden change
of direction, heavy braking or an accident,
it would not be possible to restrain the
child. The child could be thrown against
parts of the vehicle interior and be seriously
or even fatally injured.
G
Risk of injury
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 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 sys-
tem, observe the manufacturer's installation
instructions and the correct use of the child
restraint system.
Child restraint systems should be fitted to the
rear seats. Children are generally better pro-
tected there.
The entire base of the child restraint system
must always rest 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 covers
with genuine Mercedes-Benz covers.
For safety reasons, you should only use child
restraint systems which have been approved
for use in Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
