Detecting risks, avoiding danger
Securing systems for child restraint systems in
the vehicle
Only use the following securing systems for child
restraint systems:
the ISOFIX or i-Size securing rings
R
the vehicle's seat belt system
R
the Top Tether anchorages
R
Fitting an ISOFIX or an i-Size child restraint sys-
tem is preferred.
Simply attaching to the securing rings on the vehi-
cle can reduce the risk of fitting the child restraint
system incorrectly.
When securing a child with the integrated seat
belt of the ISOFIX or i-Size child restraint system,
always comply with the permissible gross weight
for the child and child restraint system
( page 122).

Notes for vehicles with the MBUX Interior Assis-
tant
Also note the additional functions of the MBUX
Interior Assistant:
if the child restraint system is not fastened, a
R
corresponding message appears in the central
display ( page 470).

Advantage of a rearward-facing child restraint sys-
tem
It is preferable to transport a baby or a small child
in a suitable rearward-facing child restraint sys-
tem. In this case, the child sits in the opposite
direction to the direction of travel and faces back-
wards.
Babies and small children have comparatively
weak neck muscles in relation to the size and
weight of their head. The risk of injury to the cer-
vical spine during an accident can be reduced in a
rearward-facing child restraint system.
ohne
Always secure a child restraint system correctly
& WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
incorrect installation of the child restraint
system
The child can then not be protected or
restrained as intended.
Be sure to comply with the manufactur-
#
er's installation instructions for the child
restraint system and its correct use.
Make sure that the entire base of the
#
child restraint system always rests on
the sitting surface of the seat.
Never place objects (e.g. cushions)
#
under or behind the child restraint sys-
tem.
Use child restraint systems only with the
#
original cover designed for them.
Always replace damaged covers with
#
genuine covers.
