8 ISOFIX* child seat securing system in
the rear
ISOFIX is a standardised securing system for
specially-designed child seats in the rear.
There are securing rings for two child
restraint systems on the left-hand and right-
hand rear seats between the seat cushions
and the backrest.
G
Risk of injury
A child restraint system secured by the ISO-
FIX child seat securing system does not
provide sufficient protection for children
weighing
more than 22 kg. For this reason,
do not secure children weighing more than
22 kg in a child restraint system secured by the ISOFIX child seat securing system. If
the child weighs more than 22 kg, secure
the
child restraint system using a lap-shoul-
der belt. G
Risk of injury
If the child restraint system is not fitted
correctly to a suitable vehicle seat, it can-
not perform its protective function. The
child cannot be restrained in the event of
an accident, heavy braking or sudden
changes
of direction. This may lead to seri-
ous or even fatal injuries. For this reason,
when fitting a child restraint system
observe the manufacturer's installation instructions and correct use of the child
restraint system.
On the rear seats, only use child restraint
systems
with an ISOFIX child seat securing
system which have been recommended for
use in Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
An incorrectly fitted child restraint system
could come loose and seriously or even
fatally injure the child or other vehicle occu-
pants. When fitting the child restraint sys-
tem, make sure that it is engaged in the
securing rings on both sides. G
Risk of injury
Please note that child restraint systems
cannot
provide a protective function if they
8 For child restraint systems without automatic child seat recognition, move the front-passenger seat to the rearmost position. Safety
