Always comply with the manufacturer's instal-
lation and operating instructions for the child
restraint system used.
Before every trip, make sure that the LATCH-
type (ISOFIX) child restraint system is engaged
correctly in both LATCH-type (ISOFIX) securing
rings

Install the LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint
system on both LATCH-type (ISOFIX) securing
rings : .
ISOFIX is a standardized securing system for
specially designed child restraint systems on
the rear seats. LATCH-type (ISOFIX) securing
rings for two LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint
systems are installed on the left and right of the
rear seats.
Non-LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child seats may also
be used and can be installed using the vehicle's
seat belt system. Install the child seat according
to the manufacturer's instructions.
Child restraint system on the front-
passenger seat
General notes
Accident statistics show that children secured
in the rear seats are safer than children secured
in the front seats. For this reason, Mercedes-
Benz strongly advises that you install a child
restraint system on a rear seat.
If it is absolutely necessary to install a child
restraint system on the front-passenger's seat,
be sure to observe the instructions and safety
notes on the "Occupant Classification System
(OCS)" (
Y
page 50).
This will help to rule out any risks that may arise
due to:
R
an incorrectly categorized person in the front-
passenger's seat
R
the unintentional deactivation of the front-
passenger's front air bag
R
an unfavorable positioning of the child
restraint system, e.g. too near to the dash-
board
Rearward-facing child restraint system
Only secure a child on the front-passenger's
seat in a rearward-facing child restraint system
if the front-passenger front air bag has been
deactivated. Only if the PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF indicator lamp is permanently lit
(
Y
page 43) is the front-passenger's front air bag
deactivated.
Always comply with the manufacturer's instal-
lation and operating instructions for the child
restraint system.
Forward-facing child restraint system
Always move the front-passenger's seat as far
back as possible if the child must be secured on
the front-passenger seat in a forward-facing
child restraint system. Fully retract the seat
cushion length. The base of the child restraint
system must always rest on the seat cushion of
the front-passenger's seat. As much as possible
of the backrest of the child restraint system
must be resting on the backrest of the front-
passenger's seat. The child restraint system
may not touch the roof or be subjected to a load
by the head restraint. Adjust the angle of the
seat backrest and the head restraint position
accordingly. Always make sure the shoulder belt
is correctly secured, running from the belt outlet
to the belt guide of the child restraint system.
The shoulder belt strap must be routed forward
and down from the vehicle belt outlet. Adjust the
belt outlet and front-passenger seat as required.
Always comply with the manufacturer's instal-
lation and operating instructions for the child
restraint system.
