tems with the original cover designed for
them. Only replace damaged covers with gen-

WARNING
If a rearward-facing child restraint system is
mounted facing forwards by mistake, it can-
not provide the intended protection. This can,
for example, be the case if a rearward-facing
child restraint system is fitted on a rear seat
which is facing backwards. The child cannot
be restrained in the event of an accident, for
instance. There is an increased risk of injury,
possibly even fatal.
Always ensure the rear seat is facing forwards
before fitting a rearward-facing child restraint
system on it.
G
WARNING
If the child restraint system is fitted incor-
rectly or is not secured, it can come loose in
the event of an accident, heavy braking or a
sudden change in direction. The child
restraint system could be thrown about, strik-
ing vehicle occupants. There is an increased
risk of injury, possibly even fatal.
Always fit child restraint systems properly,
even if they are not being used. Make sure
that you observe the child restraint system
manufacturer's installation instructions.
Observe the loading guidelines for storing
objects, luggage or loads (see vehicle Operating
Instructions).
G
WARNING
Child restraint systems or their securing sys-
tems that have been damaged or subjected to
a load in an accident cannot perform their
intended protective function. In the event of
an accident, sharp braking or a sudden
change in direction, the child may not be held
securely. There is an increased risk of serious
or even fatal injuries.
Immediately replace child restraint systems
that have been damaged or subjected to a
load in an accident. Have the child restraint
securing systems checked in a qualified spe-
cialist workshop before fitting a child restraint
system again.
If it is absolutely necessary to carry a child on
the co-driver's seat, be sure to observe the
notes on "Child restraint systems on the co-
driver's seat" (see vehicle Operating Instruc-
tions).
Observe the warning labels in the vehicle inte-
rior and on the child restraint system.
i It is advisable to use Mercedes-Benz care
products to clean child restraint systems rec-
ommended by Mercedes-Benz. You can
obtain information from a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.

ISOFIX child seat securing system

G
WARNING
ISOFIX child restraint systems do not offer
sufficient protective effect for children whose
weight is greater than 22 kg who are secured
using the safety belt integrated in the child
restraint system. The child could, for example,
not be restrained correctly in the event of an
accident. This poses an increased risk of
injury or even fatal injury.
If the child weighs more than 22 kg, only use
ISOFIX child restraint systems with which the
child is also secured with the vehicle seat belt.
Also secure the child restraint system with the
Top Tether belt, if available.
Always observe the notes on using the child
restraint system as well as the installation and
operating instructions provided by the manu-
facturer for the child restraint system being
used. You can find further information on the
child restraint system in the vehicle Operating
Instructions.
