Children in the vehicle
If an infant or child is traveling with you in
the vehicle:
ț Secure the child using an infant or child
restraint appropriate to the age and
size of the child.
ț Make sure the infant or child is proper-
ly secured at all times while the vehicle
is in motion.
Infant and child restraint seats and
information on choosing an appropriate
restraint system can be obtained from any
Mercedes-Benz Center.
Infant and child restraint systems
We recommend all infants and children be
properly restrained at all times while the
vehicle is in motion.
All lap-shoulder belts except the driver’s
seat belt have special seat belt retractors
for secure fastening of child restraints.
To fasten a child restraint, follow child
restraint instructions for mounting. Then
pull the shoulder belt out completely and
let it retract. During seat belt retraction,
a ratcheting sound can be heard to indi-
cate that the special seat belt retractor is
activated. The belt is now locked. Push
down on child restraint to take up any
slack.
To deactivate, release seat belt buckle and
let seat belt retract completely. The seat
belt can again be used in the usual
manner.

vehicle is in motion, since the special seat
belt retractor will be deactivated.
