the rear compartment ISOFIX is
astandardise dsecuring system for
speciallyd esigned child restraint systems on
the rear seats. Securing rings for two child
restraint system sare fitted on the left and
right of the rear seats.
Mercedes-Benz recommends the use of ISO-
FIX child restraint system slisted on
(Y page4 8) together with the insertio nguides
included. Fitting the ISOFIX child restraint
system is eased by using the insertio nguides. G
Risk of injury
Ac hild restraint system secure dbythe 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
ac hild restraint system secure dbythe ISOFIX
child seat securing system. If the child weighs
more than 22 kg, secure the child restraint
system using alap-shoulder belt. G
Risk of injury
The child restraint system cannot perform its
protective function if it is not correctly fitted
to as uitable vehicl eseat. The child cannot be
restrained in the event of an accident, heavy
braking or sudden changes of direction. The
child coul dbeseriousl yoreven fatally injured.
For this reason, when fitting achild restraint
system, observe the manufacturer's installa-
tion instructions and the correct use of the
child restraint system.
For reasons of safety ,only use child restraint
systems with the ISOFIX child seat securing
system on the rear seats.
We recommend the use of ISOFIX child
restraint system swhich have been approved
for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
An incorrectly fitted child restraint system
coul dcome loos eand seriousl yoreven fatally
injure the child or other vehicl eoccupants.
When fitting the child restraint system ,always
make sure that it is engaged correctly in the
securing rings on both sides. G
Risk of injury
Please note that if child restraint systems, or
their retaining systems, are damaged or sub-
jected to aloa dinana ccident, they may not
be abl etoprovide their protective function.
This coul dresult in serious or even fatal inju-
ries to the secure dchild in the event of an
accident, heavy braking or asudden change
in direction.
For this reason, have child restraint systems
and their anchorages which have been dam-
age dors ubjected to aloa dinana ccident
checked immediatel yataqualified specialist
workshop. 50
