ISOFIX child seat securing system for
the rear seats
G
WARNING
ISOFIX child restraint systems do not provide
sufficient protection for children weighing
more than 22 kg. The child cannot be
restrained in the event of an accident, for
instance. There is an increased risk of injury,
possibly even fatal.
If the child weighs more than 22 kg, secure
the ISOFIX child restraint system additionally
with the seat belt. If available, secure the child
restraint system additionally with the Top
Tether belt.
G
WARNING
The child restraint system cannot perform its
protective function if it is not correctly fitted
to a suitable vehicle seat. The child cannot be
restrained in the event of an accident, heavy
braking or sudden changes of direction. The
child could be seriously or even fatally injured.
For this reason, when fitting a child restraint
system, be sure to observe the manufactur-
er's installation instructions and the instruc-
tions for correct use of the child restraint sys-
tem.
For safety reasons, when installing child
restraint systems on the rear seats, only use
child restraint systems with the ISOFIX child
seat securing system, which are specially tes-
ted and approved for Mercedes-Benz vehi-
cles.
An incorrectly fitted child restraint system
could come loose and seriously or even fatally
injure the child or other vehicle occupants.
When fitting the child restraint system, always
make sure that it is engaged correctly in the
securing rings on both sides.
ISOFIX is a standardised securing system for
specially designed child restraint systems on
the rear seats. Securing rings for two ISOFIX
child restraint systems are fitted on the left
and right of the rear seats.
Children in the vehicle
Before every trip, make sure that the ISOFIX
child restraint system is engaged correctly in
both securing rings
When fitting a child restraint system, be sure
to observe the manufacturer's installation
instructions and the instructions for correct
use of the child restraint system.
Example: rear bench seat, front-passenger side

Comply with the manufacturer's instruc-
tions when installing the ISOFIX child
restraint system.
Top Tether
G
WARNING
If you secure the Top Tether belt incorrectly,
e.g. to the loop underneath the Top Tether
anchorage, the child restraint system is not
correctly kept in place. It therefore cannot
perform its intended protective function in the
event of an accident. This poses an increased
risk of injury.
Only secure the Top Tether hook to the inten-
ded Top Tether anchorage.
Top Tether provides an additional connection
between the child restraint system secured
with ISOFIX and the rear seat. It helps reduce
the risk of injury even further.
