Important safety notes G
WARNING
If the rear seat backrests are not locked, they
could fold forwards in the event of an acci-
dent, heavy braking or sudden changes of
direction. As a result, child restraint systems
cannot perform their intended protective
function. Rear seat backrests that are not
locked can also cause additional injuries, e.g. in the event of an accident. This poses an
increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Always lock rear seat backrests after fitting a Top Tether belt. Observe the lock verificationindicator. Adjust the rear seat backrests so
that they are in an upright position.
If the rear backrest is not engaged and
locked, the red lock verification indicator will be visible (Y page 302).

Integrated child seat
Important safety notes G
WARNING
If the integrated child seat or the ICS padded play table is modified, damaged or subjected
to a load in an accident, it cannot perform its
intended protective function. A child there-
fore cannot be restrained in the event of an
accident, heavy braking or a sudden change of direction. This poses an increased risk of
injury or even fatal injury.
Immediately replace an integrated child seat
or ICS padded play table that has been modi- fied, damaged or subjected to a heavy load as
the result of an accident. Only use the ICS
padded play table with its original cover or
with a cover that has been approved by the
manufacturer, and do not used a protective
cover. G
WARNING
If the ICS padded play table is exposed to
direct sunlight or heat, parts could heat up.
Children could suffer burns on these parts,
particularly on metallic parts. There is a risk of
injury.
If you and your child leave the vehicle, cover
the ICS padded play table so that it is not
exposed to direct sunlight and heat. If the ICS padded play table has been exposed to direct sunlight, allow it to cool before securing a
child to it. Never leave children unattended in
the vehicle.
Observe the notes on the ICS padded play
table (Y page 62).
The integrated child seats are integrated into the seat cushions of the outer rear seats. In
conjunction with the components listed in the
following table, they comply with the legal
requirements of ECE-R44.04. Recommen-

Mercedes-Benz recommends using the inte-
grated child seat for children from the age of
24 month swho weigh up to 36 kg.
For children from the age of 24 months who
weigh up to 18 kg: an ICS padded play table
and a side head restraint which have been
specially approved for the integrated child
seat must also be used.
Note that children younger than 24 months
old require a different child restraint system.
Drive with the head restraints in the correct
position when the integrated child seat is
occupied. If the head restraint is correctly
adjusted, the back of the head is supported by the centre of the head restraint at about eye
level. G
WARNING
The head restraints cannot provide the inten-
ded protection unless they are fitted and
adjusted correctly. There is an increased risk of injury to the head and neck in the event of
an accident or sudden braking, for example.
Always drive with the head restraints fitted.
Ensure that the centre of the head restraints Children in the vehicle

and be thrown around, endangering vehicle
occupants. This poses an increased risk of
injury or even fatal injury.
Fit the ICS padded play table as described.
After fitting the ICS padded play table, make
sure that it is secured correctly. For safety
reasons, only use the ICS padded play table
that has been tested and approved for your
vehicle.
The ICS padded play table is only suitable for
use with the folded-out integrated child seat.
On the rear seats with an integrated child
seat, only use the ICS padded play table that
is recommended for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Only use the ICS padded play table with its
original cover. Without the original cover, the
official approval is invalidated.
Use the ICS padded play table in accordance
with the instructions in the table in the "Inte-
grated child seat (ICS)" section (Y page 61).
Note that children under two years old and
children who weigh less than 12.5 kg require a different and suitable child restraint system.
Information about other child restraint sys-
tems is available at any Mercedes-Benz Ser-
vice Centre.
You must not use the integrated child seat
with ICS padded play table as a direct attach- ment to a baby car seat for which a body
weight of up to 10 kg is permissible. Note that
children younger than 24 month sold require
a different child restraint system
(Y page 70).
If you are not using the ICS padded play table, stow it in an appropriate place, e.g. in the lug-
gage compartment. You will find further infor-
mation on stowing objects, luggage and loads securely under "Loading guidelines". Fitting the ICS padded play table

Side head restraints G
WARNING
If the side head restraint has been fitted incor-
rectly, it cannot perform its intended protec-
tive function. A child's head therefore cannot be supported in the event of an accident,
heavy braking or a sudden change of direc-
tion. In addition, the side head restraint could become loose and be thrown around, endan-
gering vehicle occupants. This poses an
increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Only fasten the side head restraint to the spe-
cially designed securing points on the rear
head restraint. For safety reasons, only use
side head restraints that have been tested
and approved for your vehicle. Use the side head restraints in accordance
with the instructions in table (Y
page 61).
