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 51)
