Mercedes-Benz CL-Class 2006 Owner's Manual page 58

Children in the vehicle
If a child is travelling in the vehicle:
secure the child (preferably on a suita-
ble rear seat) using a child restraint
system which is appropriate to his/her
age and size and which has been ap-
proved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles
make sure 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 for cleaning child restraint systems.
You can obtain information about this from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.

Risk of injury
Do not leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle, even if they are secured in a child
restraint system. The children could:
injure themselves on parts of the vehicle
be injured severely or even fatally by
prolonged exposure to intense heat or
cold
Do not position the child restraint system in
direct sunlight. The metallic parts of the
child restraint system could heat up, for ex-
ample, and the child could burn him/herself
on the hot parts.
If the children open a door, they could:
injure other people
get out of the vehicle and injure them-
selves or be injured by a passing vehicle
Occupant safety
Do not carry heavy and hard objects in the
vehicle interior if they are unsecured. You
will find further information in the "Controls"
section under "Loading and stowing"
( page 353) and "Features" ( page 361).
An unsecured or incorrectly positioned load
increases the risk of injury for the child in
the event of:
sharp braking
a sudden change of direction
an accident
Also observe the notes on HOLD
( page 311).
