Risk of injury
An unsecured or an incorrectly positioned
load increases the ris kofinjury for the child
and all othe roccupants, during:
R an accident
R a braking manoeuvre
R a sudde nchange of direction
Do not carry heavy or hard objects inside the
vehicle unless they are secured. You will find
further information in the index under "Prac-
tical tips".
Child restraint systems Mercedes-Ben
zrecommends that you only
use the child restraint systems listed at
(Y page 45). G
Risk of injury
To reduce the risk of serious or even fatal
injury to the child in the event of a sudden
change in direction, braking or an accident:
R children less than 1.50 m tall and under
twelve years of age must always be secured
in special child restraint systems on a suit-
able vehicle seat. This is necessary
because the seat belts are not designed for
children of this size.
R if you secure a forward-facing child
restraint system without automatic child
seat recognition to the front-passenger
seat, you must move the front-passenger
seat as far back as possible.
R children must never travel sitting on the lap
of another occupant. Due to the forces
occurring in the event of a sudden change
of direction, heavy braking or an accident,
it would not be possible to restrain the
child. The child could be thrown against
parts of the vehicle interior and be seriously
or even fatally injured. G
Risk of injury
The child restraint system cannot perform its
protective function if it is not correctly fitted
to a suitable vehicle seat. The child cannot be restrained in the event of an accident, heavy
braking or sudden changes of direction. The
child could be seriously or even fatally injured.
For this reason, when fitting a child restraint
system, observe the manufacturer's installa-
tion instructions and the correct use of the
child restraint system.
The entire base of the child restraint system
must always rest on the seat cushion. There-
fore, never place objects, e.g. a cushion,
under the child restraint system.
Only use child restraint systems with the orig-
inal cover designed for them. Only replace
damaged covers with genuine Mercedes-Benz
covers.
When possible, only use child restraint sys-
tems which have been approved for use in
Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
