Children in the vehicle

Important safety 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. Children are generally better pro-

tected there.

If a child younger than 12 years and under 5 ft

(1.50 m) in height is traveling in the vehicle:

R

always secure the child in a child restraint

system suitable for Mercedes-Benz vehi-

cles. The child restraint system must be

appropriate to the age, weight and size of

the child

R

be sure to observe the instructions and

safety notes in this section in addition to

the child restraint system manufacturer's

installation instructions

R

be sure to observe the instructions and

safety notes on the "Occupant classifica-

tion system (OCS)" (Y page 53)

G

WARNING

If you leave children unsupervised in the vehi-

cle, they could set it in motion by, for example:

R

release the parking brake.

R

shift the automatic transmission out of the

parking position P.

R

start the engine.

In addition, they may operate vehicle equip-

ment and become trapped. There is a risk of

an accident and injury.

When leaving the vehicle, always take the

SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle. Never

leave children unsupervised in the vehicle.

G

WARNING

If persons, particularly children are subjected

to prolonged exposure to extreme heat or

cold, there is a risk of injury, possibly even

fatal. Never leave children unattended in the

vehicle.

G

WARNING

If the child restraint system is subjected to

direct sunlight, parts may get very hot. Chil-

dren may burn themselves on these parts,

particularly on the metal parts of the child

restraint system. There is a risk of injury.

If you leave the vehicle, taking the child with

you, always ensure that the child restraint

system is not exposed to direct sunlight. Pro-

tect it with a blanket, for example. If the child

restraint system has been exposed to direct

sunlight, let it cool down before securing the

child in it. Never leave children unattended in

the vehicle.

Always ensure that all vehicle occupants have

their seat belts fastened correctly and are sit-

ting properly. Particular attention must be

paid to children.

Observe the safety notes on the seat belt

(Y page 46) and the notes on correct use of

seat belts (Y page 47).

A booster seat may be necessary to achieve

proper seat belt positioning for children over

41 lbs (18 kg) or until they reach a height

where a lap/shoulder belt fits properly with-

out a booster seat.
