rear seats are covered by a Velcro-fastened
upholstered lining :.
XVehicles with a rear reclining seat: adjust
the rear reclining seat backrest down a little
before installing the LATCH-type (ISOFIX)
child restraint system.
XVehicles without rear reclining seat: fold
upholstered lining :upwards.
XVehicles with a rear reclining seat: remove

XVehicles with a rear reclining seat: move
the rear reclining seat backrest to an upright
position. The rear reclining seat backrest

GWARNING
Vehicles with electrically adjustable rear
bench seats:
If you adjust the seat after installing a child
restraint system:
Rthe seat belt could slacken or become too
tight
Rthe child restraint system could become
loose, incorrectly positioned or damaged
As a result, the child restraint system may not be able to provide the intended level of pro-
tection. This poses an increased risk of injury
or even fatal injury.
Never adjust the seat after installing the child
restraint system.
Vehicles without rear reclining seat: after
you have removed the LATCH-type (ISOFIX)
child restraint system, you must turn the sup-
port on the rear side of upholstered lining :by
90° again. Then fold upholstery lining :down.
ISOFIX is a standardized securing system for
specially designed child restraint systems on
the rear seats. LATCH-type (ISOFIX) securing
rings ;for two LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child
restraint systems are installed on the left and
right rear seats.
Vehicles with rear seat armrest: adjust the
rear seat armrest so that LATCH-type (ISOFIX)
securing rings ;for the LATCH-type (ISOFIX)
child restraint system are accessible.
Non-LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child seats may also
be used and can be installed using the vehicle's
seat belt system. Install the child seat according
to the manufacturer's instructions.
Top Tether
Introduction
Top Tether provides an additional connection
between the child restraint system secured with
a LATCH-type (ISOFIX) system and the vehicle.
This helps reduce the risk of injury even further.
If the child restraint system is equipped with a
Top Tether belt, this should always be used.
Important safety notes
GWARNING
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.
64Children in the vehicle
Safety

Always lock rear seat backrests after instal-
ling a Top Tether belt. Observe the lock veri-
fication indicator. Adjust the rear seat backr-
ests so that they are in an upright position.

Child restraint system on the front-
passenger seat
General notes
Accident statistics show that children secured
in the rear seats are safer than children secured
in the front-passenger seat. For this reason,
Mercedes-Benz strongly advises that you install
the child restraint system on a rear seat.
If it is absolutely necessary to install a child
restraint system on the front-passenger seat,
always observe the instructions and safety
notes on the "Occupant Classification System
(OCS)" (
Ypage 53).
