The child restraint system must be appropriate to
the age, weight and size of the child.
Observing laws and regulations
Always observe the legal requirements when
using a child restraint system in the vehicle.
Ensure that the child restraint system is approved
in accordance with the valid test specifications
and guidelines. Further information can be
obtained at a qualified specialist workshop.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this purpose.
Identifying risks, avoiding danger
Securing systems for child restraint systems
in the vehicle
Only use the following securing system for child
restraint systems:
R
the vehicle's seat belt system
The advantage of a rearward-facing child
restraint system
Babies or infants should preferably travel in a
suitable rearward-facing child restraint system. In
this case, the child is seated in the opposite
direction to the direction of travel and is facing
backwards.
Babies and infants have comparatively poorly
developed neck muscles in relation to the size
and weight of their head. A rearward-facing child
restraint system can reduce the risk of injury to
the cervical spine in an accident.
Secure the child restraint system correctly at
all times
& WARNING Risk of injury or death caused
by incorrect installation of the child
restraint system
If the child restraint system is incorrectly
installed on a suitable seating position, it can‐
not perform its intended protective function.
The child cannot be restrained in the event of
an accident, heavy braking or a sudden
change of direction.
#
Always comply with the manufacturer's
installation instructions for the child
restraint system and its correct use.
#
Make sure that the entire base of the
child restraint system always rests on
the sitting surface of the seat.
#
Never place objects under or behind the
child restraint system, e.g. cushions.
#
Always use child restraint systems with
the original cover designed for them.
#
Always replace damaged covers with
genuine covers.
& WARNING Risk of injury or death from
unsecured child restraint systems in the
vehicle
If the child restraint system is not correctly
installed or secured, it could release in the
event of an accident, sudden braking or a
sudden change in direction.
The child restraint system could be flung
around and hit vehicle occupants.
#
Always fit child restraint systems cor‐
rectly, even when not in use.
#
Always comply with the child restraint
system manufacturer's installation
instructions.
R
Be sure to observe the installation and oper‐
ating instructions provided by the manufac‐
turer of the child restraint system being used
as well as the vehicle-specific notes at all
times:

Securing the child restraint system with
the seat belt on the co-driver's seat
(

page 40).
R
Observe the warning labels in the vehicle
interior and on the child restraint system.
Do not modify the child restraint system
&
WARNING Risk of injury due to altera‐
tions to the child restraint system
The child restraint system may no longer
function as it is supposed to if you make
alterations or attach objects to it, e.g. toys or
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 you use Mercedes-
Benz care products to clean child restraint sys‐
tems recommended by Mercedes-Benz.
