Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2018 Operating Instructions Manual page 41

sible gross mass of the child and child
restraint system is 33 kg.
If the child and the child restraint system
together weigh more than 33 kg, the ISOFIX
child restraint system with integrated seat
belt does not offer sufficient protection. An
excessive load may be placed on the ISOFIX
child seat attachments and the child may not
be restrained in the event of an accident, for
example.
If the child and the child restraint sys‐
#
tem together weigh more than 33 kg,
use only an ISOFIX child restraint sys‐
tem that secures the child with the vehi‐
cle seat belt.
Also secure the child restraint system
#
with the Top Tether belt, if available.
Always comply with the information about the
mass of the child restraint system:
in the manufacturer's installation and operat‐
R
ing instructions for the child restraint system
used
on a label on the child restraint system, if
R
available
Check regularly that the permissible gross mass
of the child plus the child restraint system is not
exceeded.
When fitting a child restraint system, be sure to
observe the manufacturer's installation and oper‐
ating instructions and the correct use of the child
restraint system as well as consider the suitabil‐
ity of the seats.

ISOFIX mounting brackets
Before every trip, make sure that the ISOFIX child
restraint system is engaged correctly in both ISO‐
FIX mounting brackets in the vehicle.
* NOTE Be careful not to damage the seat
belt for the centre seat when fitting the
child restraint system
Make sure that the seat belt is not trap‐
#
ped.
Install the ISOFIX child restraint system on
#
both of the vehicle's mounting brackets.
Securing Top Tether
& WARNING Risk of injury due to incorrect
attachment of the Top Tether belt
If you attach the Top Tether belt incorrectly,
e.g. on an eyelet in the load compartment,
the child restraint system will not have been
secured correctly.
In an accident, it will therefore be unable to
provide the intended level of protection.
Only ever attach the Top Tether hook to
#
the designated Top Tether anchorage.
The risk of injury can be reduced by Top Tether.
The Top Tether belt facilitates an additional con‐
nection between the child restraint system
attached with ISOFIX and the vehicle.
The child restraint system must be equipped with
a Top Tether belt.
The Top Tether anchorages
back of the rear bench seat on the bench seat
legs.
