Toptether - Mercedes-Benz C Class Owner's Manual

G
Risk of injury
If the child restraint system is not fitted cor-
rectly to a suitable vehicle seat, the child
cannot be secured in the event of an acci-
dent or sudden braking and may be serious-
ly or even fatally injured. Follow the manu-
facturer's installation instructions when fit-
ting the child restraint system.
On the rear seats, only use child restraint
systems with an ISOFIX child seat securing
system* and which have been recommen-
ded for use in Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
An incorrectly fitted child restraint system
could come loose and seriously or even
fatally injure the child or other vehicle occu-
pants. When fitting the child restraint sys-
tem, make sure that it is engaged in the se-
curing rings on both sides.
G
Risk of injury
If the child restraint system or its securing
system, e.g. ISOFIX child seat securing sys-
tem, is damaged or has been subjected to a
load in an accident, the child secured in it
could be seriously or even fatally injured in
the event of an accident, braking or sudden
changes of direction.
Always have child restraint systems and
their securing systems which are damaged
or which have been subjected to a heavy
load in an accident checked and, if neces-
sary, replaced immediately at a qualified
specialist workshop which has the neces-
sary specialist knowledge and tools to carry
out the work required. Mercedes-Benz rec-
ommends that you use a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre for this purpose. In particu-
lar, work relevant to safety or on safety-re-
lated systems must be carried out at a quali-
fied specialist workshop
!
When fitting the child restraint system,
make sure that the seat belt for the middle seat
does not get trapped.
