G WARNING
Only secure a child restraint system on the
center seat in the second row when the belt
buckles of the outer seats are not obstructed
or overlapped by the child restraint system.
Not all child restraint systems, including some
Mercedes-Benz approved child restraint
systems, can be used in this seat position. For
further information contact an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
Do not use the LATCH-type anchors (ISOFIX)
or seat belt buckles for the outer seats in
conjunction with a child seat in the second-
row center seat. Child seats in the center
seating position must only be secured by the
center seat position seat belt inserted into the
seat belt buckle for the second-row center
seat.

Please be aware that installation of a child
seat in the second-row center seat position
can prevent the folding forward of the outer
second-row seats which can obstruct access
to and exit from the third-row seats. This
could affect the occupants' on the third-row
seats ability to exit the vehicle. In case of an
accident it will be difficult for occupants of the
third-row seats to leave the vehicle. Serious
injuries could be the result.
Install a child seat in one of the outer seating
positions according to the installation
instructions if access to the third-row seats is
required.

Always lock the rear seat backrests in their
upright position when the rear seats are
occupied by passengers. Lock the rear seat
backrests in their upright position after
installing the TopTether straps or when the
extended cargo compartment is not in use.
Make sure that rear seat backrests are
secured properly by pushing and pulling on
the seat backrests. If the seat backrest is not
locked properly, the seat backrest could fold.
The child restraint system is no longer
supported properly or held in position and can
no longer fulfill its function. That could cause
serious or even fatal injuries.
