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 that the infant or child is
properly 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.
Warning! G
For your protection, drive only with properly
positioned head restraints.
Adjust head restraints so that it is as close
to the head as possible and the center of the
head restraint supports the back of the head
at eye level. This will reduce the potential for
injury to the head and neck in the event of
an accident or similar situation.
Do not drive the vehicle without the seat
head restraints. Head restraints are intend-
ed to help reduce injuries during an acci-
dent.
Warning! G
Do not leave children unattended in the
vehicle, even if they are secured in a child
restraint system. The children could
ț injure themselves on parts of the vehicle
ț be seriously or fatally injured through
exposure to extreme heat or cold
Do not expose the child restraint system to
direct sunlight. The child restraint system’s
metal parts, for example, could become very
hot, and the child could be burned on these
parts.
