ISOFIX child seat securing system in the
rea
r ISOFIX is a standardised securing system for
specially designed child restraint systems in
the rear. There are securing rings for two child
restraint systems on the left and right-hand
rear seats between the seat cushions and the
backrest.
G
Risk of injury
A child restraint system secured by the ISO-
FIX child seat securing system does not
provide sufficient protection for children
weighing more than 22 kg. For this reason,
do not secure children weighing more than
22 kg in a child restraint system secured by
the ISOFIX child seat securing system. If
the child weighs more than 22 kg, secure
the child restraint system using a lap-shoul-
der belt. G
Risk of injury
If a child restraint system is not fitted prop-
erly to a suitable seat in the vehicle, it
cannot provide its protective function. It
would not be possible to restrain the child
in the event of an accident, sudden braking
or a sudden change in direction. The child
could be seriously or even fatally injured . For this reason, observe the manufac-
turer’s installation instructions and correct
use when fitting the child restraint system.
On the rear seats, only use child restraint
systems with an ISOFIX child seat securing
system which have been recommended for
use in Mercedes-Benz vehicles .
An incorrectly fitted child restraint system
could come loose and seriously or eve n
fatally injure the child or other vehicle occu-
pants. When fitting the child restraint sys -
tem, make sure that it is engaged in the
securing rings on both sides. G
Risk of injury
Please note that child restraint systems
cannot provide a protective function if they
or their retaining systems are damaged or
have been subjected to a load in an acci -
dent. The child secured in this system could
be injured seriously or even fatally in the
event of an accident, sudden braking or a
sudden change in direction.
You must therefore have child restraint sys-
tems that are damaged or have been sub-
jected to a heavy load in an accident
checked immediately along with their
anchorages at a qualified specialist work-
shop. !
When fitting the child restraint system,
make sure that the seat belt for the middle
seat does not get trapped. It could other-
wise be damaged. Illustration showing a vehicle with through-loading

TopTether
TopTether provides an additional connectio n
between the child restraint system secured
with ISOFIX and the rear seat. It helps reduce
the risk of injury even further.
The two TopTether anchorage points are loca-
ted on the rear shelf behind the outer head
restraints. Safet

belt must be routed across the child's
pelvis – not across the abdomen – and
pulled tight against the child's body;
retighten the belt strap if necessary.
R Only ever secure one child at a time in
the child restraint system.
R The belt strap must not be trapped or
twisted or rub against sharp edges.
R The seat belt strap must not be routed
across any other position other than the
seat belt guide marked on the child seat.

Seat belts are the most effective means of
restraining the movement of vehicle occu-
pants in the event of an accident. This
reduces the risk of vehicle occupants coming
into contact with the vehicle interior. Wearing seat belts
G
Risk of injury
A seat belt which is not worn correctly, or
which has not been engaged in the seat bel t
buckle correctly, cannot perform its inten-
ded protective function. Under certain cir-
cumstances this could cause severe or
even fatal injuries.
Make sure that all occupants – in particular,
pregnant women – wear their seat belt cor-
rectly at all times .
R The seat belt must pass closely over your
body and must not be twisted. You
should therefore avoid wearing bulky
clothing (e.g. a winter coat). The shoulder
belt section must be routed across the
middle of your shoulder – on no account
across your neck or under your arm – and
pulled tight against your upper body. The
lap belt must always pass across your lap as low down as possible, i.e. over your
hip joints – not across your abdomen. If
necessary, tighten the belt strap by pull-
ing it down slightly and retighten in the
direction of the inertia reel.
R Do not route the belt strap across sharp
or fragile objects, especially if these ar e
located on or in your clothing, e.g. spec -
tacles, pencils, keys, etc. The seat belt
strap could be damaged and tear in an
accident and you or other vehicle occu -
pants could be injured.
R Only one person should use each seat
belt at any one time. On no account
should children travel sitting on your lap
or the lap of another occupant, as it
would not be possible to restrain the
child in the event of an accident, braking
or a sudden change in direction, which
could result in severe or even fatal inju-
ries to the child and other occupants.
R Persons less than 1.50 m tall cannot
wear the seat belts correctly. For this
reason, secure persons less than 1.50 m
tall in specially designed, suitabl e
restraint systems .
R Children less than 1.50 m tall or under
12 years of age cannot wear the seat Control

99belts properly. Therefore, always secure
these children in suitable child restraint
systems on suitable vehicle seats. You
can find more information under "Chil-
dren in the vehicle" in the "Safety" sec-
tion of the Owner's Manual. Follow the
manufacturer's installation instructions
when fitting the child restraint system .
R Do not secure any objects with a seat belt
if the seat belt is also being used by one
of the vehicle's occupants. G
Risk of injury
The seat belt does not offer the intended
level of protection unless the backrest is
almost vertical. Under certain circumstan-
ces this could cause severe or even fata l
injuries.
Before starting a journey, make sure that
the seat is properly adjusted and that the
backrest is almost vertical. G
Risk of injury
A dirty or damaged seat belt or a seat bel t
that has been subjected to a load in an
accident or modified no longer offers the
intended level of protection. Under certai n circumstances this could cause severe or
even fatal injuries.
For this reason, check regularly that the
seat belts are not damaged or dirty.
Always have damaged seat belts or sea t
belts that have been subjected to a load in
an accident replaced at a qualified special-
ist workshop. Choose a qualified specialist
workshop which has the necessary special-
ist knowledge and tools for the work
required. Mercedes-Benz recommends
that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre for this purpose.
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom -
mends that you only use seat belts which
have been approved by Mercedes-Benz for
your vehicle. 1

Risk of accident
Do not keep any objects in the driver's foot-
well. If you use a floormat or carpet in the
driver's footwell, make sure that they are
correctly secured and that there is suffi-
cient clearance for the pedals.
Objects could otherwise get between the
pedals in the event of sudden braking or
acceleration. You may then no longer be
able to brake, change gear or accelerate as
intended. This may result in an accident and
injury . G
Risk of poisoning
Never leave the engine running in enclose d
spaces. The exhaust gases contain carbon
monoxide. Inhaling exhaust fumes consti-
tutes a health hazard and could lead to loss
of consciousness or even death.
! Do not depress the accelerator pedal
when starting the engine.
i If you depress the brake when starting the
engine, pedal travel will be unusually long
and there will be less pedal resistance. Controls
