Child restraint system
Observe the instructions for correct use of the
child restraint system (
Y
page 64).
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you use only a child restraint system
recommended by Mercedes-Benz
(
Y
page 67).
G
WARNING
If the child restraint system is incorrectly fit-
ted on the seat position suitable for this pur-
pose, it cannot perform its intended protec-
tive function. In the event of an accident,
sharp braking or a sudden change in direction,
the child may not be held securely. There is an
increased risk of serious or even fatal injuries.
Observe the manufacturer's installation
instructions and the correct use for the child
restraint system. Make sure that the entire
surface of the child restraint system is resting
on the seat surface. Never place objects
under or behind the child restraint system,
e.g. cushions. Only use child restraint sys-
tems with the original cover designed for
them. Only replace damaged covers with gen-
uine covers.
G
WARNING
If a rearward-facing child restraint system is
mounted facing forwards by mistake, it can-
not provide the intended protection. This can,
for example, be the case if a rearward-facing
child restraint system is fitted on a rear seat
which is facing backwards. The child cannot
be restrained in the event of an accident, for
instance. There is an increased risk of injury,
possibly even fatal.
Always ensure the rear seat is facing forwards
before fitting a rearward-facing child restraint
system on it.
G
WARNING
If the child restraint system is fitted incor-
rectly or is not secured, it can come loose in
the event of an accident, heavy braking or a
sudden change in direction. The child
restraint system could be thrown about, strik-
ing vehicle occupants. There is an increased
risk of injury, possibly even fatal.
Always fit child restraint systems properly,
even if they are not being used. Make sure
that you observe the child restraint system
manufacturer's installation instructions.
You will find further information on stowing
objects, luggage and loads securely under
"Loading guidelines" (
Y
page 312).
G
WARNING
Child restraint systems or their securing sys-
tems that have been damaged or subjected to
a load in an accident cannot perform their
intended protective function. In the event of
an accident, sharp braking or a sudden
change in direction, the child may not be held
securely. There is an increased risk of serious
or even fatal injuries.
Immediately replace child restraint systems
that have been damaged or subjected to a
load in an accident. Have the child restraint
securing systems checked in a qualified spe-
cialist workshop before fitting a child restraint
system again.
The securing systems of child restraint systems
are:
R
the seat belt system
R
the ISOFIX securing rings
R
the Top Tether anchorages
If circumstances require you to fit a child
restraint system to the front-passenger seat, be
sure to observe the information on "Child
restraint systems on the front-passenger seat"
(
Y
page 63).
Observe the warning labels in the vehicle inte-
rior and on the child restraint system.
