Children in the vehicle
If a child is travelling in your vehicle, secure
the child using a child restraint system which
is appropriate to the size and age of the child
and recommended for Mercedes-Benz vehi-
cles. Ensure that the child is strapped in
throughout the trip.
You can obtain information about the correct
child restraint system from any Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre.
i
It is advisable to use Mercedes-Benz care
products to clean child restraint systems.
Information about this can be obtained
from any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
G
Risk of injury
Do not leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle, even if they are secured in a child
restraint system. Children could injure
themselves on parts of the vehicle. They
could also be seriously or even fatally
injured by prolonged exposure to extreme
heat or cold.
Do not expose the child restraint system to
direct sunlight. The metallic parts of the
child restraint system could heat up and the
child could be burned by them.
If a child opens a door, the child or other
persons could be injured as a result. The
child could get out and be injured in the
process or be injured by a passing vehicle.
Also observe the notes on SBC Hold. You
will find further information in the index.
G
Risk of injury
An unsecured or incorrectly positioned load
increases the risk of injury to the child in
the event of:
R
an accident
R
a braking manoeuvre
R
a sudden change of direction
Do not carry heavy or hard objects inside
the vehicle unless they are secured. You
will find further information in the index
under "Practical tips".
Child restraint systems
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you only
use the child restraint systems listed on
(
Y
page 51).
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 suitable vehicle seat. This is neces-
sary because the seat belts are not
designed for children of this size.
R
If you secure a child restraint system
without automatic child seat recognition
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
