If the child restraint system has been
#
exposed to direct sunlight, allow it to
cool before securing a child into it.
Never leave children unattended in the
#
vehicle.
To improve protection for children younger than
12 years old or under 1.50 m in height,
Mercedes-Benz recommends you observe the fol‐
lowing information:
Only secure children using a child restraint
R
system which is appropriate to the height,
age and weight of the child and recommen‐
ded and suitable for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
Be sure to observe the instructions for cor‐
rect use of the child restraint system.
Always fit a child restraint system to a rear
R
seat if possible.
Only use the following securing systems for
R
child restraint systems:
the seat belt system
-
the ISOFIX mounting brackets
-
the Top Tether anchorages
-
Follow the manufacturer's installation instruc‐
R
tions for the child restraint system.
Observe the warning labels in the vehicle
R
interior and on the child restraint system.
& WARNING Risk of injury or death caused
by incorrect installation of the child
restraint system
If the child restraint system is incorrectly
installed on a suitable seating position, it can‐
not perform its intended protective function.
The child cannot be restrained in the event of
an accident, heavy braking or a sudden
change of direction.
Always comply with the manufacturer's
#
installation instructions for the child
restraint system and its correct use.
Make sure that the entire base of the
#
child restraint system always rests on
the sitting surface of the seat.
Never place objects under or behind the
#
child restraint system, e.g. cushions.
Always use child restraint systems with
#
the original cover designed for them.
Always replace damaged covers with
#
genuine covers.
& WARNING Risk of injury or death from
unsecured child restraint systems in the
vehicle
If the child restraint system is not correctly
installed or secured, it could release in the
event of an accident, sudden braking or a
sudden change in direction.
The child restraint system could be flung
around and hit vehicle occupants.
Always fit child restraint systems cor‐
#
rectly, even when not in use.
Always comply with the child restraint
#
system manufacturer's installation
instructions.
& WARNING Risk of injury or death caused
by the use of damaged child restraint
systems
Child restraint systems or their retaining sys‐
tems that have been subjected to a load in an
accident may then not be able to perform
their intended protective function.
The child cannot be restrained in the event of
an accident, heavy braking or a sudden
change of direction.
Always replace child restraint systems
#
immediately that have been damaged or
involved in an accident.
Have the securing systems for the child

specialist workshop before installing a
child restraint system again.
