Important!
Warning!
Children too big for child restraint
systems should ride in rear seats
using regular seat belts. Position
shoulder belt across chest and
shoulder, not face or neck. A booster
seat may be necessary to achieve
proper belt positioning.
The use of infant or child restraints is
required by law in all 50 states and all
Canadian provinces.
According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating
positions than in the front seating
positions.
Infants and small children should be
seated in an infant or child restraint
system, which is properly secured by
the lap belt portion of the lap-shoulder
belt, and that complies with U.S.
Federal Motor Safety Standard 213 and
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 213.1. A statement by the
child restraint manufacturer of
compliance with this standard can be
found on the instruction label on the
restraint and in the instruction manual
provided with the restraint.
Rear-facing child restraints must not
be used in the front passenger seat.
They could be struck by the airbag
when it inflates in a crash. If this
hap-pens, a child in the restraint
could be seriously or fatally injured.
When the child restraint is not in
use, remove it from the car or secure
it with the seat belt to prevent the
child restraint from becoming a
projectile in the event of an accident.
U.S.A. Models only: Since 1986 all
U.S. child restraints comply with U.S.
regulations without the use of a tether
strap.
Infants and small children should
never be held on the lap while the
vehicle is in motion. During an
accident they would be almost
impossible to hold, and could be
crushed between the adult and the
dashboard.
Canada Models only: This vehicle is
provided with tether anchorages for a
top tether strap. Consult your
authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer for
installation of these anchorages. In
compliance with Canadian Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard 210.1, child
restraint tether anchorage hardware is
attached to the tool kit located in the
trunk.
When using any infant or child
restraint system, be sure to carefully
read and follow all manufacturer's
instructions for installation and use.
Infants and small children should
never share a seat belt with another
occupant. During an accident, they
could be crushed between the
occupant and seat belt.
