Safely transporting children in the vehicle

Always observe when children are travelling
in the vehicle
%
Also strictly observe the safety notes for the
specific situation. In this way you can recog‐
nise potential risks and avoid dangers if chil‐
dren are travelling in the vehicle

Be diligent
Bear in mind that neglecting to secure a child in
the child restraint system may have serious con‐
sequences. Always be diligent in securing a child
carefully before every journey.
To improve protection for children younger than
12 years old or under 1.50 m in height,
Mercedes-Benz recommends you observe the
following information:
Always secure the child in a child restraint
R
system suitable for this Mercedes-Benz vehi‐
cle.
The child restraint system must be appropri‐
R
ate to the age, weight and size of the child.
The vehicle seat must be suitable for fitting a
R
child restraint system ( page 57).

Accident statistics show that children secured
on the rear seats are generally safer than chil‐
dren secured on the front seats. For this reason,
Mercedes-Benz strongly advises that you fit a
child restraint system to a rear seat.
