ISOFIX child seat securing system in the
rear compartment
ISOFIX is a standardised securing system for
specially-designed child restraint systems on
the rear seats. Securing rings for two child
restraint systems are fitted on the left and
right rear seats.
G
Risk of injury
A child restraint system secured by the ISOFIX
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-shoulder belt. G
Risk of injury
The child restraint system cannot perform its
protective function if is not correctly fitted to
a suitable vehicle seat. The child cannot be
restrained in the event of a sudden change of
direction, heavy braking or an accident. This
may lead to serious or even fatal injuries. For
this reason, when fitting a child restraint sys-
tem, observe the manufacturer's installation
instructions and the correct use of the child
restraint system.
On the rear seats, only use child restraint sys-
tems with an ISOFIX child seat securing sys-
tem 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 occupants.
When fitting the child restraint system, make
sure that it is engaged in the securing rings
on both sides. G
Risk of injury
Please note that child restraint systems can-
not provide a protective function if they or
their retaining systems are damaged or sub-
jected to a load in an accident. This could result in serious or even fatal injuries to the
secured child in the event of an accident,
heavy braking or a sudden change in direc-
tion.
For this reason, have child restraint systems
and their anchorages which have been dam-
aged or subjected to a load in an accident
checked immediately at a qualified specialist
workshop.
! When fitting the child restraint system,
make sure that the seat belt for the middle
seat does not become trapped. Otherwise,
it could be damaged. :
Securing rings
TopTether
TopTether provides an additional connection
between the child restraint system secured
with ISOFIX and the rear seat. It helps reduce
the risk of injury even further.
The TopTether anchorages are located on the
rear side of the backrests. Occupant safety

Child-proof locks If children are travelling in the vehicle, you can
activate the child-proof locks for the rear
doors.
Child-proof locks for the rear doors
The child-proof locks on the rear doors enable
you to secure each door individually. A locked
door cannot be opened from the inside. The
door can be opened from the outside if the
vehicle is unlocked. G
Risk of accident and injury
Activate the child-proof locks for the rear
doors and the override switch for the rear
windows if children are travelling in the vehi-
cle. Otherwise, the children could open doors
or windows while the vehicle is in motion and
injure themselves or others. X
To activate: press child-proof lock lever

g
To remove the key
1 Power supply for some consumers, such
as the windscreen wipers
2 Ignition (power supply for all consumers)
and drive position
3 To start the engine
i Even if the key is not for the vehicle in
question, it will still turn in the ignition lock.
The ignition is not switched on. The engine
cannot be started. Seats
Points to remember
For information about folding the rear bench
seat forwards, see the "Luggage compart-
ment enlargement" section (Y page 132).
Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the
seats can adjusted either manually/electri-
cally or electrically*. G
Risk of injury
The seats can still be adjusted when there is
no key in the ignition lock. For this reason,
children should never be left unsupervised in
the vehicle. They could become trapped when
adjusting a seat. G
Risk of accident
Only adjust the driver's seat when the vehicle
is stationary. You will otherwise be distracted
from the road and traffic conditions and you
could lose control of the vehicle as a result of
the seat moving. This could cause an acci-
dent. G
Risk of injury
Make sure that nobody can become trapped
when you adjust the seat.
Observe the notes concerning the airbag sys-
tem.
Secure children as recommended; see "Chil-
dren in the vehicle" section. G
Risk of injury
Make sure that the central area of the head
restraint supports the back of your head at
about eye level. You could seriously injure
your neck if your head is not correctly sup-
ported by the head restraint in the event of an
accident. Never travel without a correctly
adjusted and engaged head restraint.
! When you move the seats, make sure that
there are no objects in the footwell or
behind the seats. Otherwise, you could
damage the seats and the objects.
i The head restraints in the front seats are
fitted with the NECK-PRO system
(Y page 40). For this reason, it is not pos-
sible to remove the head restraints from
the front seats.
The rear-compartment head restraints can
be removed (Y page 64).
Please contact a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre for more information. Adjusting the seats manually and
