Children in the vehicle
Important safety notes
Accident statistics show that children secured
in the rear seats are safer than children secured
in the front seats. For this reason, Mercedes-
Benz strongly advises that you fit a child
restraint system on a rear seat. Children are
generally better protected there.
If a child younger than twelve years old and
under 1.50 m in height is travelling in the vehi-
cle:
R
always secure the child in a child restraint
system suitable for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
The child restraint system must be appropri-
ate to the age, weight and size of the child.
R
be sure to observe the instructions and safety
notes in this section in addition to the child
restraint system manufacturer's installation
instructions
R
be sure to observe the instructions and safety
notes on the automatic front-passenger front
airbag deactivation system (Y page 47).
G
WARNING
If you leave children unattended in the vehi-
cle, they may be able to set the vehicle in
motion if, for example, they:
R
release the parking brake
R
shift the automatic transmission out of park
position P or shift manual transmission into
neutral
R
start the engine
In addition, they may operate vehicle equip-
ment and become trapped. There is a risk of
an accident and injury.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the key
with you and lock the vehicle. Never leave
children unattended in the vehicle.
G
WARNING
If persons (particularly children) are exposed
to heat or cold for a prolonged period, there is
a risk of serious or even fatal injuries. Never
leave persons (particularly children) unatten-
ded in the vehicle.
G
WARNING
If the child restraint system is placed in direct
sunlight, the parts could become very hot.
Children could be suffer burns by touching
these parts, in particular on the metallic parts
of the child restraint system. There is a risk of
injury.
If you and your child leave the vehicle, always
make sure that the child restraint system is
not in direct sunlight. Cover it with a blanket,
for example. If the child restraint system has
been exposed to direct sunlight, leave it to
cool down before securing the child in it.
Never leave children unattended in the vehi-
cle.
Always ensure that all vehicle occupants have
their seat belts fastened correctly and are sitting
properly. Particular attention must be paid to
children.
Observe the safety notes on the seat belt
(Y page 41) and the notes on how to use the seat
belt properly (Y page 42).
Child restraint system
If you fit a rearward-facing child restraint system
on the centre rear seat, the rear seat armrest
must be folded back as far as it will go.
Be sure to observe the correct use of the child
restraint system (Y page 59).
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use a child restraint system
recommended by Mercedes-Benz
(Y page 63).
G
WARNING
If the child restraint system is incorrectly fit-
ted on the seat position suitable for this pur-
pose, it cannot perform its intended protec-
tive function. In the event of an accident,
sharp braking or a sudden change in direction,
the child may not be held securely. There is an
increased risk of serious or even fatal injuries.
Observe the manufacturer's installation
instructions and the correct use for the child
restraint system. Make sure that the entire
surface of the child restraint system is resting
54
Children in the vehicle
Safety
on the seat surface. Never place objects
under or behind the child restraint system,
e.g. cushions. Only use child restraint sys-
tems with the original cover designed for
them. Only replace damaged covers with gen-
uine covers.
G
WARNING
If the child restraint system is fitted incor-
rectly or is not secured, it can come loose in
the event of an accident, heavy braking or a
sudden change in direction. The child
restraint system could be thrown about, strik-
ing vehicle occupants. There is an increased
risk of injury, possibly even fatal.
Always fit child restraint systems properly,
even if they are not being used. Make sure
that you observe the child restraint system
manufacturer's installation instructions.
You will find further information on stowing
objects, luggage and loads securely under
"Loading guidelines" (Y page 268).
G
WARNING
Child restraint systems or their securing sys-
tems that have been damaged or subjected to
a load in an accident cannot perform their
intended protective function. In the event of
an accident, sharp braking or a sudden
change in direction, the child may not be held
securely. There is an increased risk of serious
or even fatal injuries.
Immediately replace child restraint systems
that have been damaged or subjected to a
load in an accident. Have the child restraint
securing systems checked in a qualified spe-
cialist workshop before fitting a child restraint
system again.
Securing systems for child restraint systems
include:
R
the seat belt system
R
the ISOFIX or i-Size securing rings
R
Top Tether anchorage points
If it is absolutely necessary to fit a child restraint
system on the co-driver's seat, be sure to
observe the notes on "Child restraint systems
on the co-driver's seat" (Y page 57).
Observe the warning labels in the vehicle inte-
rior and on the child restraint system.
i
It is advisable to use Mercedes-Benz care
products to clean child restraint systems rec-
ommended by Mercedes-Benz. You can
obtain information at a qualified specialist
workshop.
ISOFIX and i-Size child seat securing
systems
G
WARNING
ISOFIX child restraint systems or i-Size child
restraint systems do not offer sufficient pro-
tection for children whose weight is greater
than 22 kg, who are secured using the safety
belt integrated in the child restraint system.
The child could, for example, not be restrained
correctly in the event of an accident. This
poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal
injury.
If the child weighs more than 22 kg, only use
ISOFIX child restraint systems or i-Size child
restraint systems with which the child is also
secured with the vehicle seat belt. Also secure
the child restraint system with the Top Tether
belt, if available.
Observe the instructions for correct use of the
child restraint system (Y page 59) and the
installation and operating instructions for the
child restraint system used as provided by the
manufacturer .
Before every trip, make sure that the ISOFIX
child restraint system or the i-Size child restraint
system is engaged correctly in both ISOFIX or i-
Size securing rings.

between the child restraint system secured with
ISOFIX and the vehicle. It helps reduce the risk
of injury even further. If the child restraint sys-
tem is fitted with a Top Tether belt, this should
always be used.

Vehicles with the automatic front-passenger
front airbag deactivation system: if it is abso-
lutely necessary to fit a child restraint system to
the front-passenger seat, always observe the
information on the "Automatic front-passenger
front airbag deactivation system" (Y page 47).
You can thus avoid the risks that could arise as
a result of:
R
a child restraint system that is not detected
by the automatic front-passenger front airbag
deactivation system
R
unintentional disabling of the front-passenger
front airbag
R
unsuitable positioning of the child restraint
system, e.g. too close to the dashboard
Please observe the warning notice on the
front-passenger sun visor; see illustration.
G
WARNING
If you secure a child in a rearward-facing child
restraint system on the co-driver's seat and
the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
is off, the co-driver's front airbag can deploy in
the event of an accident. The child could be
struck by the airbag. There is an increased risk
of injury, possibly even fatal.
In this case, always make sure that the co-
driver's front airbag has been disabled. The
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
must be lit.
NEVER use a rearward-facing child restraint on a
seat protected by an ACTIVE FRONT AIRBAG;
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the child can
occur.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
is not lit, the front-passenger front airbag is ena-
bled (Y page 40).
Vehicles without the automatic front-
passenger front airbag deactivation
system
If the front-passenger seat of your vehicle is not
equipped with the automatic front-passenger
front airbag deactivation system, this is indica-
ted by a special sticker. The sticker is affixed to
the side of the dashboard on the front-
passenger side. The sticker is visible when you
open the front-passenger door.
If you turn the key to position 2 in the ignition
lock, the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF and
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamps light
up briefly. However, they have no function and
do not indicate that there is an automatic front-
passenger front airbag deactivation system.
In this case, never fit a rearward-facing child
restraint system on the front passenger seat
(Y page 59).
Observe the following information under "Rear-
ward-facing child restraint system"
(Y page 58) and "Forward-facing child
restraint system" (Y page 59) as well as infor-
mation on the suitable positioning of the child
restraint system (Y page 59).
Rearward-facing child restraint system
If it is absolutely necessary to fit a rearward-
facing child restraint system to the front-
passenger seat, always make sure that the
front-passenger front airbag is disabled. Only if
the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp is
lit continuously (Y page 40) is the front-
passenger front airbag disabled.
Always observe the information on suitable
positioning of the child restraint system
(Y page 59) in addition to the child restraint
system manufacturer's installation and operat-
ing instructions.
58
Children in the vehicle
Safety
Forward-facing child restraint system
If it is absolutely necessary to fit a forward-
facing child restraint system to the front-
passenger seat, always move the front-
passenger seat as far back as possible. Fully
retract the seat cushion length. The entire base
of the child restraint system must always rest on
the seat cushion of the front-passenger seat.
The backrest of the child restraint system must,
as far as possible, lie flat against the backrest of
the front-passenger seat. The child restraint sys-
tem must not touch the roof or be put under
strain by the head restraint. Adjust the angle of
the seat backrest and the head restraint posi-
tion accordingly. Always make sure that the
shoulder belt strap is correctly routed from the
vehicle belt outlet to the shoulder belt guide on
the child restraint system. The shoulder belt
strap must be routed forwards and downwards
from the vehicle belt outlet. If necessary, adjust
the vehicle belt outlet and the front-passenger
seat accordingly.
Always observe the information on suitable
positioning of the child restraint system
(Y page 59) in addition to the child restraint
system manufacturer's installation and operat-
ing instructions.
Suitable positioning of the child
restraint system
Introduction
Only child restraint systems approved in accord-
ance with ECE standards ECE R44 or ECE R129
(i-Size child restraint systems) are permitted for
use in the vehicle.
For certain child restraint systems in weight cat-
egories II or III, this can mean that the area of
use is restricted. The maximum size setting of
the child restraint system may not be possible
due to possible contact with the roof.
"Universal" category child restraint systems can
be recognised by their orange approval label and
the text "Universal" or an "i-Size" label.
Example: approval label on the child restraint
system
ISOFIX or i-Size child restraint systems of the
“Universal“ category can be used on seats label-
led U, UF, IUF or i-U in accordance with the fol-
lowing tables:
R
Suitability of the seats for attaching belt-
secured child restraint systems
