64 Occupant safety
The vehicle seat must be suitable for fitting a
R
child restraint system ( page 68).
/
Accident statistics show that children secured on
the rear seats are generally safer than children
secured on the front seats. For this reason,
Mercedes-Benz strongly advises that you fit a
child restraint system to a rear seat.
The generic term child restraint system
The generic term child restraint system is used in
this Owner's Manual. A child restraint system is,
for example:
a baby car seat
R
a rearward-facing child seat
R
a forward-facing child seat
R
a child booster seat with a backrest and seat
R
belt guide
Mercedes-Benz recommends using a child
booster seat with a backrest.
The child restraint system must be appropriate to
the age, weight and size of the child.
Observe laws and legal requirements
Always observe the legal requirements when
using a child restraint system in the vehicle.
Make sure that the child restraint system is
approved in accordance with the valid test specifi-
cations and guidelines. Further information can
be obtained at a qualified specialist workshop.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this purpose.
Only use approved child restraint systems
Only child restraint systems that meet the follow-
ing UNECE standards are permitted for use in the
vehicle:
UN-R44
R
UN-R129 (i-Size child restraint systems)

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 72).
