Children in the vehicle
If a child is traveling in the vehicle:
secure the child in a child restraint sys-
tem appropriate to his/her age and
size, preferably on a suitable seat in the
rear
ensure that the child is strapped in
throughout the trip
You can obtain child seats and information
about the correct child restraint system
from any authorized Sprinter Dealer.
Warning
Do not leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle even if they are secured in a child re-
straint system. The children could:
injure themselves on parts of the vehicle
be seriously or even fatally injured by
prolonged exposure to extreme heat or
cold
Do not expose child restraint systems to di-
rect sunlight. Metallic parts of the child re-
straint system could heat up, for example,
and the child could burn him/herself on the
hot parts.
If the children open a door, they could:
cause injury to others as a result
get out of the vehicle and could either
injure themselves when doing so or they
could be injured by passing vehicles
sustain serious injuries if they were to
fall out of the vehicle, due in particular
to the height of the passenger compart-
ment from the ground
