̈ Securely fasten hook 2, which is part

̈ Swing rear seat backrest to the rear un-
til it engages.
̈ Check the rear seat backrest to be

When the child restraint is not in use,
remove it from the vehicle or secure it with
the seat belt to prevent the child restraint
from becoming a projectile in the event of
an accident.
Do not leave children unattended in the
vehicle, even if the children are secured in a
child restraint system. Unsupervised
children in a child restraint system may use
vehicle equipment and may cause an
accident and/or serious personal injury.

Your CLK cabriolet does not have and is not
required to have anchorage rings for a child
seat’s top tether strap in the rear seating posi-
tions. Child seats can be used with the seat belt,
or lower anchor system and seat belt, fully in ac-
cordance with the child seat manufacturer’s in-
structions.

For safety, make sure the hook 2 has at-
tached to the anchorage ring 1 beyond the
safety catch, as illustrated.
