Immediately replace child restraint systems
that have been damaged or subjected to a
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 child restraint systems
include:
R the seat belt system
R the ISOFIX securing rings
If it is absolutely necessary to fit a child restraint system on the co-driver's seat, be sure to
observe the notes on "Child restraint systems
on the co-driver's seat" (Y page 53). Informa-
tion about deactivating the co-driver's front air- bag can also be found there.
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 rec- ommended by Mercedes-Benz. You can
obtain information at a qualified specialist
workshop. ISOFIX child seat securing system

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.
Always observe the notes on using the child
restraint system (Y page 55) as well as the
installation and operating instructions provided
by the manufacturer for the child restraint sys-
tem being used. Before each journey, make sure that the ISOFIX
child restraint system is properly engaged in
both ISOFIX securing rings. ISOFIX securing rings
:are located between
the seat cushion and the seat backrest.
X Install the ISOFIX child restraint system on
both ISOFIX securing rings :.
ISOFIX is a standardised securing system for
special 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.
Mercedes-Benz recommends the use of the lis-
ted ISOFIX child restraint systems together with the insertion guides included (Y page 58).
Using insertion guides makes it easier to fit ISO- FIX child restraint systems.
Secure child restraint systems without an ISO-
FIX child seat securing system using the seat
belts in the vehicle. Always observe the notes on
using the child restraint system (Y page 55) as
well as the installation and operating instruc-
tions provided by the manufacturer for the child restraint system being used. Automatic child seat recognition on
the front-passenger seat
The sensor system for the automatic child seat
recognition in the front-passenger seat detects
whether a special Mercedes-Benz child restraint system with transponders has been fitted. In
this case, the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indica-
tor lamp lights up and remains lit. The front-
passenger front airbag is disabled. Children in the vehicle

tems" or "Suitability of the seats for attaching an
ISOFIX child restraint system".
Semi-universal child restraint systems are indi-
cated by the text "semi-universal" on the
approval label. These can be used if the vehicle and the seat are listed in the child restraint sys-
tem manufacturer's vehicle model list. For more
information, contact the child restraint system
manufacturer or visit their website.
If it is absolutely necessary to fit a child restraint system to the front-passenger seat:
X Always pay attention to the instructions under
"Child restraint system on the front-
passenger seat" (Y page 53).
There you will find instructions on how to cor- rectly route the shoulder belt strap from the
vehicle seat-belt extender or belt outlet to the
shoulder belt guide on the child restraint sys-
tem (Y page 54).
X Move the front-passenger seat as far back as
possible and into the lowest position.
X Move the backrest to an almost vertical posi-
tion.
The entire base of the child restraint system
must always rest on the seat cushion of the
front-passenger seat. The backrest of the
forward-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 backrest and the head
restraint position accordingly. Also observe
the child restraint system manufacturer's
installation instructions. 56

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 system.
Always observe the notes in the "Child restraint system" section (Y page 50) and the child restraint
system manufacturer's installation instructions.
