load in an accident. Have the child restraint
securing systems checked in a qualified spe-
cialist workshop before fitting a child restraint
system again.
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 63).
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 65).
Before every trip, make sure that the ISOFIX
child restraint system is engaged correctly in both ISOFIX securing rings. ISOFIX securing rings
;on the rear seats are
covered by folding upholstered lining =with
Velcro fastening.
X Fold upholstered lining =upwards.
X Turn support :by 90°.
Upholstered lining =remains folded
upwards.
X Install the ISOFIX child restraint system on
both ISOFIX securing rings ;.
After you have removed the ISOFIX child
restraint system, you must turn support :on
upholstered lining =by 90° again. Then fold
upholstery lining =down.
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 65). 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 62

restraint system is fitted with a Top Tether
belt, this should always be used.

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.
Vehicles with the automatic front-passenger
front airbag deactivation system: if it is abso- lutely necessary to fit a child restraint system
to the front-passenger seat, always observe
the information on "Automatic front-
passenger front airbag deactivation system"
(Y page 51).
You can thus avoid the risks that could arise
as a result of:
R a child restraint system that is not detected
by the automatic front-passenger front air- bag deactivation system
R the unintentional disabling of the front-
passenger front airbag
R the unsuitable positioning of the child
restraint system, e.g. too close to the dash-
board Children in the vehicle
63Safety Z
Always observe the information on suitable
positioning of the child restraint system
(Y page 65) 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 restraint system 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 63).
There you will find instructions on how to
correctly route the shoulder belt strap from the vehicle seat-belt extender or belt sash
guide to the shoulder belt guide on the child
restraint system (Y page 64).
X Move the front-passenger seat as far back
as possible and fully retract the seat cush-
ion length.
If you secure a child in a forward-facing
child restraint system on the front-
passenger seat, also move the front-
passenger seat to the lowest position.
X Move the backrest to an almost vertical
position.
The entire base of the child restraint sys-
tem must always rest on the seat cushion of
the front-passenger seat. The backrest of
the forwards-facing 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 back- rest and the head restraint position accord-
ingly. Also observe the child restraint sys-
tem manufacturer's installation instruc-
tions.
X Move the seat cushion angle to the highest,
most vertical position.
Suitability of the seats for attaching
belt-secured child restraint systems If you use a baby car seat of category 0 or 0+
or a rearward-facing child restraint system of
