Detecting risks, avoiding danger
Securing systems for child restraint systems
in the vehicle
Only use the following securing systems for child
restraint systems:
R
The LATCH-type (ISOFIX) securing rings
R
The vehicle's seat belt system
R
The Top Tether anchorages
Installing a LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint
system is favored.
Simply attaching to the securing rings on the
vehicle can reduce the risk of installing the child
restraint system incorrectly.
When securing a child with the integrated seat
belt of the LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint
system, always comply with the permissible
gross weight for the child and child restraint sys‐
tem (
/
page 58).
A booster seat may be necessary to achieve
proper seat belt positioning for children over
40 lbs (18 kg) in weight or until they reach a
height where a three-point seat belt can be
installed properly without a booster seat.
Mercedes-Benz recommends a suitable child
booster seat with a backrest and seat belt guide.
Advantage of a rearward-facing child
restraint system
It is preferable to transport a baby or a small
child in a suitable rearward-facing child restraint
system. In this case, the child sits in the oppo‐
site direction to the direction of travel and faces
backwards.
Babies and small children have comparatively
weak neck muscles in relation to the size and
weight of their head. The risk of injury to the cer‐
vical spine during an accident can be reduced in
a rearward-facing child restraint system.
Always secure a child restraint system cor‐
rectly

WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
incorrect installation of the child
restraint system
The child can then not be protected or
restrained as intended.
#
Be sure to comply with the manufactur‐
er'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 (e.g. cushions)
under or behind the child restraint sys‐
tem.
#
Use child restraint systems only with
the original cover designed for them.
#
Always replace damaged covers with
genuine covers.
