Risk of inju ry If the child restraint system has not
been fit-
ted correctly to a suitable vehicle seat, the
child cannot be restrained in the eve ntof an
ac cident or sudden bra king and could there-
fore be seriously or fatally injured.
For this reason, observe the installation
instructions issued by the child restraint
syst emmanufactu rer when fitting the child
restraint system.
Make sure that:
! thesecu ring rings are lo cked in position
be fore the seat is fitted
! the child seat is locked into place in the
securing rin gson the left and rig htonce
it has been installed
For this reason, donotplace objects (e.g. a
cushion) underneath the child restraint sys-
tem. The entire base of the child restraint
system must be in contact with the seat sur-
fa ce at all times.
On the rear seats, on ly use child restraint
systems with an ISOFIX child seat securing
system* that have been re commended by
Mercedes-Benz. G
Risk of inju ry If the child restraint
system or its securing
system, e.g. ISOFIX child seat sec uring sys-
tem, has been damaged or subjected to a
load inan accid ent, th echild secured in it
could be seriously or fatally injured in the
event of an ac cident, br aking or a sudden
change in direction.
For this reason, have child restraint systems
and th eir mountings that are damaged or
have been subjected to a load in an acci dent
checked immediately, and replaced if nec-
essary, at a qualified specialist workshop
which has the necessary specialist knowl-
edge and tools to carry out th ework
required. Mercedes-Benz recom mends that
you use a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for
this purpose. In particular, work relevant to
safety or on safety-related systems must be
carried out at a qualified specialist work-
