load in an accident. Have the child restraint
securing systems checked in a qualified spe-
cialist workshop before fitting a child restraint
system again.
Securing systems for the child restraint sys-
tem are: R the seat belt system
R the ISOFIX securing rings
R the Top Tether anchorages
If it is absolutely necessary to carry a child on
the front-passenger seat, be sure to observe
the information on "Child restraint systems
on the front-passenger seat" (Y page 66).
Observe the warning labels in the vehicle inte-
rior and on the child restraint system.
i It is advisable to use Mercedes-Benz care
products to clean child restraint systems
recommended by Mercedes-Benz. You can obtain information about this at any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. ISOFIX child seat securing system
G
WARNING
ISOFIX child restraint systems do not offer
sufficient protective effect for children whose weight is greater than 22 kg who are securedusing the safety belt integrated in the child
restraint system. The child could, for example, not be restrained correctly in the event of an
accident. This poses an increased risk of
injury or even fatal injury.
If the child weighs more than 22 kg, only use
ISOFIX child restraint systems with which the child is also secured with the vehicle seat belt. Also secure the child restraint system with the
Top Tether belt, if available.
When fitting a child restraint system, be sure to observe the manufacturer's installation
instructions and the instructions for correct
use of the child restraint system
(Y page 68). Before every trip, make sure that the ISOFIX
child restraint system is engaged correctly in
both ISOFIX securing rings.
! When fitting the child restraint system,
make sure that the seat belt for the centre
seat does not get trapped. Otherwise, the
seat belt could be damaged. :
ISOFIX securing rings
Vehicles with rear seat armrest: adjust the
rear seat armrest so that ISOFIX securing
rings :for the ISOFIX child restraint system
are accessible.
X Install the ISOFIX child restraint system on
both ISOFIX securing rings :.
ISOFIX is a standardised securing system for specially designed child restraint systems on
the rear seats. ISOFIX securing rings :for
two ISOFIX child restraint systems are fitted
on the left and right of the rear seats.
Secure child restraint systems without an
ISOFIX child seat securing system using the
seat belts in the vehicle. When fitting a child
restraint system, be sure to observe the man-
ufacturer's installation and operating instruc-
tions and the instructions for correct use of
the child restraint system (Y page 68). Top Tether
Introduction Top Tether provides an additional connection
between the child restraint system secured
with ISOFIX and the vehicle. It helps reduce
the risk of injury even further. If the child Children in the vehicle
65Safety Z
Page 69 of 489
restraint system is fitted with a Top Tether
belt, this should always be used.
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 seat backrest is not engaged and
locked, this will be shown in the multifunction display in the instrument cluster. A warning
tone also sounds.

Make sure that you do not interfere with the
correct routing of Top Tether belt A. Child restraint system on the front-
passenger seat
General notes Accident statistics show that children
secured in the rear seats are safer than chil-
dren secured in the front-passenger seat. For
this reason, Mercedes-Benz strongly advises
that you install a child restraint system on a
rear seat. 66
Children in the vehicleSafety
Page 71 of 489
Always observe the information on suitable
positioning of the child restraint system
(Y page 68) in addition to the child restraint
system manufacturer's installation and oper- ating instructions.
Forward-facing child restraint system If it is absolutely necessary to fit a forward-
facing child restraint system to the front-
passenger seat, always move the front-
passenger seat as far back as possible. Fully
retract the seat cushion length. The entire
base of the child restraint system must
always rest on the seat cushion of the front-
passenger seat. The backrest of the child
restraint system must, as far as possible, be
resting on the backrest of the front-
passenger seat. The child restraint system
must not touch the roof or be put under strain
by the head restraint. Adjust the angle of the seat backrest and the head restraint position
accordingly. Always make sure that the shoul- der belt strap is correctly routed from the
vehicle belt outlet to the shoulder belt guide
on the child restraint system. The shoulder
belt strap must be routed forwards and down-
wards from the vehicle belt outlet. If neces-
sary, adjust the vehicle belt outlet and the
front-passenger seat accordingly.
Always observe the information on suitable
positioning of the child restraint system
(Y page 68) in addition to the child restraint
system manufacturer's installation and oper-
ating instructions. Suitable positioning of the child
restraint system
Introduction Only child restraint systems which are
approved in accordance with the ECE stand-
ard ECE R44 are permitted for use in the vehi- cle.
For certain child restraint systems in weight
categories II or III, this can mean that the area
of use is restricted. The maximum size setting of the child restraint system is not possible
due to possible contact with the roof.
"Universal" category child restraint systems
can be recognised by their orange approval
label and the text "Universal".
Example: approval label on the child restraint sys-
tem
"Universal" category child restraint systems
can be used on the seats indicated with U, UF
or IUF according to the tables "Suitability of
the seats for attaching belt-secured child
restraint systems" or "Suitability of the seats
for attaching an ISOFIX child restraint sys-
tem".
Semi-universal child restraint systems are
indicated by the text "Semi-universal" on the
approval label. These can be used if the vehi- cle and the seat are listed in the child restraintsystem manufacturer's vehicle model list. For
more information, contact the child restraint
system manufacturer or visit their website.
Child restraint system on the front-
passenger seat – if it is absolutely necessary
to secure a child in a child restraint system on the front-passenger seat:
X Always pay attention to the instructions
under "Child restraint system on the front-
passenger seat" (Y page 66).

Suitability of the seats for attaching
ISOFIX child restraint systems
If you use a baby car seat of category 0 or 0+
or a rearward-facing child restraint system of
category I on a rear seat, you must adjust the
driver's or front-passenger seat so that the
seat does not touch the child restraint sys-
tem.
If you use a forward-facing child restraint sys- tem from category I, you must, where possi-
ble, dismantle the head restraint of the
respective seat (Y page 122). The backrest of
the child restraint system must, as far as pos- sible, lie flat against the backrest of the seat.
Always observe the notes in the "Child
restraint system" section (Y page 64) and the
child restraint system manufacturer's instal-
lation instructions.
When you remove the child restraint system,
you must immediately replace the head
restraint (Y page 121). All vehicle occupants
must adjust their head restraints correctly
before beginning the journey. Legend for the table:

manufacturer's model list. For more
information, contact the child restraint
system manufacturer or visit their web-
site.
