Be diligent
Bear in mind that negligence when securing a
child in the child restraint system may have seri‐
ous consequences. Always be diligent in secur‐
ing a child carefully before every journey.
To improve protection for children younger than
12 years old or under 1.50 m in height,
Mercedes-Benz recommends you observe the
following information:
R
Always secure the child in a child restraint
system suitable for this Mercedes-Benz vehi‐
cle.
R
The child restraint system must be appropri‐
ate to the age, weight and size of the child.
R

Accident statistics show that children secured
on the rear seats are generally safer than chil‐
dren secured on the front seats. For this reason,
Mercedes-Benz strongly advises that you fit a
child restraint system to a rear seat.
