When using any infant or child restraint
system, be sure to carefully read and
follow all manufacturer’s instructions
for installation and use.
Please read and observe warning labels
affixed to inside of vehicle and to infant
or child restraints.
Warning! G
Children 12 years old and under must never
ride in this vehicle, except in a
Mercedes-Benz authorized BabySmart TM
compatible child seat, which operates with
the BabySmart TM system installed in the vehicle
to deactivate the passenger front airbag
when it is properly installed. Otherwise
they will be struck by the airbag when it inflates
in a crash. If this happens, serious or
fatal injury will result.
Infants and small children must be seated in
an appropriate BabySmartTM compatible infant
or child restraint system, which is properly
secured with the vehicle’s seat belt and
top tether strap, fully in accordance with the
child seat manufacturer’s instructions.
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.
A child’s risk of serious or fatal injuries is
significantly increased if the child restraints
are not properly secured in the vehicle and
the child is not properly secured in the child
restraint.
Adjust the passenger seat as far as possible
rearward from the dashboard when the seat
is occupied.
Warning! G
Children too big for child restraint systems
should use regular seat belts. Position the
shoulder belt across chest and shoulder, not
face or neck. A booster seat may be necessary
to achieve proper belt positioning for
children from 41 lbs until they reach a
height where a lap/shoulder belt fits
properly without a booster.
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 cause an accident
and/or serious personal injury.
