Do not alter the child restraint system
& WARNING Risk of injury due to altera‐
tions to the child restraint system
The child restraint system may no longer
function as it is supposed to if you make
alterations or attach objects to it, e.g. toys or
unsuitable accessories. This poses an
increased risk of injury!
Never alter the child restraint system. Only
attach accessories which the manufacturer
of the child restraint system has authorised
especially for this child restraint system.
Mercedes‑Benz recommends Mercedes-Benz
care products for cleaning child restraint sys‐
tems recommended by Mercedes-Benz.
Only use child restraint systems which are in
proper working condition
& 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
#
restraint systems checked at a qualified
specialist workshop before installing a
child restraint system again.
