Use of seat belts and child seats is legally
prescribed in:
all 50 states
^
the U.S. territories
^
the District of Columbia
^
all Canadian provinces
^
For better protection of children under
12 years of age and under 59 inches
(1.50 m) in height, Mercedes-Benz
recommends you observe the following
information:
Only secure children using a suitable child
^
seat which is appropriate to the size, age and
weight of the child and which is
recommended for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
In doing so, observe the instructions for
using the child seat correctly.
If possible, install the child seat on a rear
^
seat.
Observe the warning labels in the vehicle
^
interior and on the child seat.
G DANGER!
In this child seat, transport only children
whose age and body weight correspond to
those of the approval data. When the child
seat is installed in the vehicle, make sure
that the vehicle's seat backrest is adjusted
and locked in place according to the
description in the vehicle Operator's
Manual (on vehicles with a folding
backrest, through-loading facility, etc.).
In the event of an accident, abrupt braking
maneuvers or a sudden change in
direction, the child may otherwise not be
restrained and may be seriously or even
fatally injured.

Make sure that the child seat is installed
correctly. In the event of an accident,
abrupt braking maneuver or a sudden

and/or vehicle occupants may be seriously
or even fatally injured. You must therefore:
install the child seat in the vehicle facing
^
towards the rear.
make sure that the seat belts on the
^
child seat are pulled tight across the
child's body and are not twisted.
make sure that the seat belt or LATCH is
^
pulled tight across the child seat and is
not twisted.
make sure that a front airbag can have
^
no effect on the child seat.
make sure that there are no objects, e.g.
^
cushions, under the child seat.
make sure that the entire base of the child
^
seat always rests on the seat cushion.
make sure that the vehicle belt buckle is
^
not located in the blue seat belt guide.
make sure that the seat belt is routed
^
from the blue seat belt guide towards the
rear (against the direction of travel).
also install unused child seats correctly.
^
G DANGER!
This poses an increased risk of injury or
even fatal injury.
Only children with a weight of up to
^
22 pounds (10 kg) and who measure up
to 31 inches (80 cm) in height are
allowed to travel in this child seat.
Be sure to observe the content of these
^
operating instructions as well as the
warning labels in the vehicle interior and
on the child seat.
