intended protective function. In the event of
an accident, sharp braking or a sudden
change in direction, the child may not be held securely. There is an increased risk of serious
or even fatal injuries.
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.
The securing systems of child restraint systems are:
R the seat belt system
R the ISOFIX or i-Size securing rings
R the Top Tether anchorages
If circumstances require you to fit a child
restraint system to the front-passenger seat, be
sure to observe the information on "Child
restraint systems on the front-passenger seat"
(Y page 60).
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. Information
can be obtained at a qualified specialist work-
shop. ISOFIX and i-Size child seat securing
systems G
WARNING
ISOFIX child restraint systems or i-Size child
restraint systems do not offer sufficient pro-
tection for children whose weight is greater
than 22 kg, who are secured using 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 or i-Size 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.
Observe the instructions for correct use of the
child restraint system (Y page 61) and the
installation and operating instructions for the
child restraint system used as provided by the
manufacturer .
Before every trip, make sure that the ISOFIX
child restraint system or the i-Size child restraint
system is engaged correctly in both ISOFIX or i-
Size securing rings. This symbol indicates an ISOFIX position that is
suitable for attaching an ISOFIX child restraint
system. A similar symbol can be found on the
ISOFIX child restraint system. This symbol indicates an i
‑Size position that is
suitable for attaching an i-Size child restraint
system. A similar symbol can be found on the i- Size child restraint system.
! 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. 58

ISOFIX securing rings ;
i-Size securing rings
Vehicles with rear seat armrest: adjust the
rear seat armrest so that ISOFIX securing
rings :or i-Size securing rings ;are acces-
sible for the ISOFIX child restraint system or i-
Size child restraint system.
X Install the ISOFIX child restraint system on

or X Install the i-Size child restraint system on both

ISOFIX and i-Size are standardised securing sys-
tems for special child restraint systems. ISOFIX
child restraint systems are approved in accord-
ance with ECE R-44. i-Size child restraint sys-
tems are approved in accordance with ECE
R-129.
Only child restraint systems that have been
approved in accordance with ECE R-44 may be
attached to ISOFIX securing rings. ISOFIX child
restraint systems in accordance with ECE R-44
and i‑Size child restraint systems that have been
approved in accordance with ECE R-129 may be attached to i-Size securing rings. ISOFIX secur-
ing ring :or i-Size securing ring ;are instal-
led on the left and right sides of the rear seats. 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 restraint sys-
tem 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.
If the rear seat backrest is not engaged and
locked, this will be shown on the multifunction
display on the instrument cluster.
Top Tether anchorages Top Tether anchorages
?are located on the
rear side of the backrests on both outer rear
seats.
X Move head restraint :upwards.
X Fit the ISOFIX child restraint system with Top
Tether. Always comply with the child restraint Children in the vehicle
59Safety Z
Example: approval label on the child restraint
system
The following "Universal"-category ISOFIX or i-
Size child restraint systems can be used on
seats labelled U, UF, IUF or i-U according to the
following tables:
R Suitability of the seats for attaching belt-
secured child restraint systems
R Suitability of the seats for attaching ISOFIX
child restraint systems
R Suitability of the seats for attaching an i-Size
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 fur-
ther information, contact the child restraint sys-
tem manufacturer or visit the manufacturer's
website.
If it is absolutely necessary to fit 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 60).
There you will find instructions on how to cor-
rectly route the shoulder belt strap from the
vehicle belt outlet to the shoulder belt guide
on the child restraint system (Y page 61).
X Move the front-passenger seat as far back as
possible and fully retract the seat cushion
length.
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 a
forward-facing child restraint system must, as far as possible, rest flat against 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. In addition,
observe the child restraint system manufac-
turer's installation instructions.
X Move the seat cushion angle to the highest,
most vertical position.
Suitability of the seats for attaching a belt-secured child restraint system 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.
If you use a category I, forward-facing child restraint system, you should remove the head restraintfrom the respective seat, if possible (Y page 105). The backrest of the child restraint system must,
as far as possible, lie flat against the backrest of the seat.
Make sure that the child's feet do not touch the front seat. If necessary, move the front seat forward
slightly.
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 may not be possible due to
possible contact with the roof.
Always observe the notes in the "Child restraint system" section (Y page 57) and the child restraint
system manufacturer's installation instructions. 62
Children in the vehicleSafety
When you remove the child restraint system, you must replace the head restraints again immedi-
ately (Y page 105). All vehicle occupants must adjust their head restraints correctly before begin-
ning the journey.
