fully locked. The red lock verification indi-
cators on the left and right should no longer
be visible. If they are, the rear seat backr-
ests are not locked. If this is the case, occu-
pants could be injured in the event of an
accident, e.g. by objects being thrown for-
wards from the luggage compartment.

Integrated child seat*
The child seats are integrated into the right
and left-hand sides of the seats of the rear
bench seat. They comply with the legal
2
requirements of ECE Regulation 44.03.
Mercedes-Benz recommends the integrated
child seat for children from approximately
two to twelve years of age or with a body
weight of 12.5 kg to 36 kg.
For children between approximately two and
four years of age or weighing between
approximately 12.5 kg and 22 kg, you must
also use a padded table* which has been spe-
cially approved for the integrated child seat
( page 51).
Y
G Risk of injury
To reduce the risk of serious or even fatal
injury to the child in the event of a sudden
slightly down
change in direction, braking or an accident:
Do not modify the integrated child seat.
R
When the child seat is occupied, adjust
R
the head restraint to a position at which
the back of the child's head is supported
by the centre of the head restraint at
about eye level.
Replace an integrated child seat that has
R
been damaged or subjected to a heavy
load as the result of an accident.
Be aware that children under two years
R
of age require a different child restraint
system. Information about other child
restraint systems is available from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
The rear seat backrest in the vehicle
R
must be securely locked in position.
