Occupant safety -> Safely transporting children in the vehicle for Your Mercedes CLA 4 Door Second Generation (2019-2024)

FFunction of tunction of the poshe post-collision brt-collision brakeake
Depending on the accident situation, the post-col-
lision brake can minimize the severity of a further
collision or even avoid it.
If an accident is detected, the post-collision brake
can implement automatic braking. When the vehi-
cle has come to a standstill, the electric parking
brake is automatically applied.
The driver can cancel automatic braking by taking
the following actions:
R
Braking more strongly than automatic braking
R
Fully depressing the accelerator pedal with
force

Also strictly observe the safety notes for the
specic situation. In this way you can recog-
nize potential risks and avoid dangers if chil-
dren are traveling in the vehicle
(/ page 53).
Be dilig
Be diligentent
Bear in mind that negligence when securing a
child in the child restraint system may have seri-
ous consequences. Always be diligent in securing
a child carefully before every journey.
Never allow babies and children to travel sitting
on the lap of another vehicle occupant.
To improve protection for children younger than
12 years old or under 5 (1.50 m) in height,
Mercedes-Benz recommends you observe the fol-
lowing information:
R
Always secure the child in a child restraint sys-
tem suitable for this Mercedes-Benz vehicle.
R
The child restraint system must be appropriate
to the age, weight and size of the child.
R
The vehicle seat must be suitable for installing
a child restraint system.
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 install a
child restraint system on a rear seat.
The g
The genereneric tic tererm cm child rhild resestrtraint systaint systemem
The generic term child restraint system is used in
this Operator's Manual. A child restraint system
is, for example:
R
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
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.
Observ
Observe lawe laws and legs and legal ral reqequiruirementsements
Always observe the legal requirements when
using a child restraint system in the vehicle.
Observ
Observe ste standarandards fds for cor child rhild resestrtraint systaint systemsems
All child restraint systems must meet the following
standards:
R
U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
213 and 225
5252
Occupant safety
R
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 213
and 210.2
Conrmation that the child restraint system com-
plies with the standards can be found on an
instruction label on the child restraint system.
This conrmation can also be found in the instal-
lation instructions that are included with the child
restraint system.
DetDetecting recting riskisks, avs, avoiding dangoiding dangerer
SecurSecuring systing systems fems for cor child rhild resestrtraint systaint systems inems in
tthe vhe vehicleehicle
Only use the following securing systems for child
restraint systems:
R
The LATCH-type (ISOFIX) securing rings
R
The vehicle's seat belt system
R
The Top Tether anchorages
Installing a LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint
system is preferred.
Simply attaching to the securing rings on the vehi-
cle can reduce the risk of installing the child
restraint system incorrectly.
When securing a child with the integrated seat
belt of the LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint
system, always comply with the permissible gross
weight for the child and child restraint system
(/ page 57).
A booster seat may be necessary to achieve
proper seat belt positioning for children over
40 lbs (18 kg) in weight or until they reach a
height where a three-point seat belt can be fas-
tened properly without a booster seat.
Mercedes-Benz recommends a suitable child
booster seat with a backrest and seat belt guide.
A
Advdvantantagage of a re of a rearwearwarard-fd-facing cacing child rhild resestrtraint syaint sys-s-
ttemem
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.

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.

It may be the case that the child cannot be
properly restrained.
#
Always immediately replace child
restraint systems that have been dam-
aged or involved in an accident.

child may not be restrained correctly in the
event of an accident, for example.
#
If the child and the child restraint system
together weigh more than the permissi-
ble gross mass of 73 lb (33 kg ), only use
a LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint
system with which the child is secured
with the vehicle seat belt.

Also secure the child restraint system
with the Top Tether belt, if available.
Always comply with the information about the
mass of the child restraint system:
R
In the manufacturer's installation and operat-
ing instructions for the child restraint system
used
