Child Restraint - Mercedes-Benz Light Truck ML 320 Operator's Manual

Infant and Child Restraint Systems
We recommend that all infants and children be properly restrained at all times while the vehicle is in motion.
All lap-shoulder belts except driver seat have special seat belt retractors for secure fastening of child restraints.
To fasten a child restraint, use this seat belt:
Follow child restraint instructions for routing. Then pull shoulder belt out completely and let it retract. During the seat belt retraction a
ratcheting sound can be heard to indicate that the special seat belt retractor is activated. The belt is now locked. Push down on child
restraint to take up any slack.
To deactivate, release seat belt buckle and let seat belt retract completely. The seat belt can again be used in the usual manner.
Warning!
Never release the seat belt buckle while vehicle is in motion, since the special seat belt retractor will be deactivated.
Important!
The use of infant or child restraints is required by law in all 50 states and all Canadian provinces.
Infants and small children should be seated in an appropriate infant or child restraint system properly secured by a lap-shoulder belt,
and that complies with U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 and Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
A statement by the child restraint manufacturer of compliance with this standard can be found on the instruction label on the restraint
and in the instruction manual provided with the restraint.
When using any infant or child restraint system, be sure to carefully read and follow all manufacturer's instructions for installation and
use. Please read and observe warning labels affixed to inside of vehicle.
