Important safety notes
Basic information
Be diligent
Bear in mind that negligence when securing a
child in the child restraint system may have seri-

53
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 the child
restraint system to be installed:
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 generic term "child restraint system"
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 – Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends using a child booster seat
with a back-
rest and seat belt guide.
Observe laws and legal requirements
Always observe the legal requirements when
using a child restraint system in the vehicle.
Securing systems for child restraint systems in
the vehicle
Use only 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
Simply attaching to the LATCH-type (ISOFIX)
securing rings on the vehicle can reduce the risk
of installing the child restraint system incorrectly.
When securing a child with the integrated seat
belt of the ISOFIX/LATCH child restraint system,
always comply with the permissible gross weight
for the child and child restraint system
(/ page 62).
A child 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 at which they can wear a three-point seat
belt properly without a child booster seat.
Mercedes-Benz recommends a suitable child
booster seat with a backrest and seat belt guide.
Observe standards for child restraint systems
All child restraint systems must meet the following
standards:
R
U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
213
R
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 213
54

Suitable child restraint systems for the transport
of children
Information on the benet of a rearward-facing
child restraint system
Transport a baby in a suitable rearward-facing
child restraint system only. It is also preferable to
transport a small child in a suitable rearward-
facing child restraint system. In this case, the
child sits in the opposite direction to the direction
of travel and faces backwards.
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.
Securing the child restraint system
Adjusting the seat correctly
When installing a child restraint system on the le
or right rear seat, always observe the following:
#
Make sure that the child's feet do not touch
the front seat. If necessary, move the front
seat slightly forwards.
If the head restraint of the child restraint system
cannot be fully extended when it is installed in the
vehicle, this will result in restrictions on the maxi-
mum size setting for certain child restraint sys-
tems. Observe the child restraint system manu-
facturer's installation instructions.
%
Contact with the roof when the head restraint
is fully extended and locked in place will not
result in any restrictions on use.
