Alw ays ins tall a child restra int sy stem on a suita‐
ble rear seat. Accident statistics show that chil‐
dren secured on there ar seats are safer than

Ac cident statistics show that children secured on
th ere ar seats are general lysafer than children
secured on the front seats. Forth is reason,
Mercedes-Benz strongly advises that you ins tall a
ch ild restra int sy stem on a rear seat.

A boos ter seat may be necessary toachie ve
proper seat belt positioning forch ildren over
