Mercedes-Benz AMG GT Operator's Manual page 55

Accident statistics show that children secured on
the rear seats are generally safer than children
secured on the front seats. For this reason,
Mercedes-Benz strongly advises that you install a
child restraint system on a rear seat.
Children up to a height of 4.4 ft (1.35 m) can
travel in the child restraint system on the rear
seats. Children 4.4 ft (1.35 m) to 5 ft (1.50 m) tall
should travel in a suitable child restraint system
on the front passenger seat.
The generic term "child restraint system"
The generic term "child restraint system" is used
in this Operator's Manual. A child restraint system
is, for example:
a baby car seat
R
a rearward-facing child seat
R
a forward-facing child seat
R
a child booster seat with a seat backrest and
R
seat belt guide
Observe laws and legal requirements
Always observe the legal requirements when
using a child restraint system in the vehicle.
Securing systems for child restraint systems in
the vehicle
Use only the following securing systems for child
restraint systems:
the LATCH-type (ISOFIX) securing rings (rear
R
seats)
the vehicle's seat belt system
R
Simply attaching to the LATCH-type (ISOFIX)
securing rings on the vehicle can reduce the risk
of installing the child restraint system incorrectly.
When securing a child on the rear seats with the
integrated seat belt of the ISOFIX/LATCH child
restraint system, always comply with the permissi-
ble gross weight for the child and child restraint
system ( page 60).
/
A child booster seat may be necessary to achieve
proper seat belt positioning for children over
40 lbs (18 kg) in weight or until they reach a
height at which they can wear a three-point seat
belt properly without a child booster seat.
Mercedes-Benz recommends a suitable child
booster seat with a backrest and seat belt guide.
Children in the vehicle – Important safety notes
Observe standards for child restraint systems
All child restraint systems must meet the following
standards:
U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
R
213
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 213
R
Confirmation that the child restraint system com-
plies with the standards can be found on an
instruction label on the child restraint system.
This confirmation can also be found in the instal-
lation instructions that are included with the child
restraint system.
Important warning notices
Always secure a child restraint system correctly
& WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
incorrect installation of the child restraint
system
The child can then not be protected or
restrained as intended.
