cle damage.

General notes 27

QR code forrescue card

The QR code is secured in the fuel filler flap and

on the opposite side on the B-pillar. In theevent

of an accident, rescue services can use the QR

code to quickly find the appropriate rescue card

foryour vehicle. The current rescue card con‐

tains the most important information about your

vehicle in a compact form, e.g. therouting of the

electric lines.

Further information can be obtained at http://

www.mercedes-benz.de/qr-code.

Data storage

Electronic control units

Electronic control units are installed in your vehi‐

cle. Some of these are necessary forthe safe

operation of your vehicle, while some assist you

when driving (driver assistance systems). In

addition, your vehicle provides comfort and

entertainment functions, which are also made

possible by electronic control units.

Electronic control units contain data memories

which can temporarily or permanently store

technical information about thevehicle's operat‐

ing state, component loads, maintenance

requirements and technical events or malfunc‐

tions.

In general, this information documents thestate

of a component part, a module, a system or the

surroundings such as:

Roperating status of system components (e.g.

fill levels, battery status, tire pressure)

Rstatus messages concerning thevehicle or

its individual components (e.g. number of

wheel revolutions/speed, longitudinal accel‐

eration, lateral acceleration, display of fas‐

tened seat belts)

Rmalfunctions or faults in important system

components (e.g. lights, brakes)

Rinformation on events leading to vehicle

damage

Rsystem reactions in special driving situations

(e.g. airbag deployment, intervention of sta‐

bility control systems)

Rambient conditions (e.g. temperature, rain

sensor)

In addition to providing the actual control unit

function, this data assists the manufacturer in

detecting and rectifying malfunctions and opti‐

mizing vehicle functions. The majority of this

data is temporary and is only processed in the

vehicle itself. Only a small portion of the data is

stored in theevent or malfunction memory.

When your vehicle is serviced, technical data

from thevehicle can be read out by service net‐

work employees (e.g. workshops, manufactur‐

ers) or third parties (e.g. breakdown services).

Services include repair services, maintenance

processes, warranty claims and quality assur‐

ance measures, forexample. The read out is per‐

formed via the legally prescribed port forthe

diagnostics connection in thevehicle. The

respective service network locations or third

parties collect, process and use the data. They

document technical statuses of thevehicle,

assist in finding malfunctions and improving

quality and are transmittedto the manufacturer,

if necessary. Furthermore, the manufacturer is

subject to product liability. Forthis, the manu‐

facturer requires technical data from vehicles.

28 General notes

Fault memories in thevehicle can be reset by a

service outlet as part of repair or maintenance

work.

Depending on the selected equipment, you can

import data into thevehicle's comfort and info‐

tainment functions yourself.

This includes, forexample:

Rmultimedia data such as music, films or pho‐

tosfor playback in an integrated multimedia

Event data recorders

USA only:

This vehicle is equipped with an event data

recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is

to record, in certain crash or near crash-like sit‐

uations, such as an airbag deployment or hitting

aroad obstacle, data that will assist in under‐

standing how a vehicle's systems performed.

The EDR is designed to record data related to

vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short

period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.

The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record

such data as:

RHow various systems in your vehicle were

operating

RWhether or not the driver and front

passenger seat belts were buckled/fastened

RHow far (if at all) the driver was depressing

the accelerator and/or brake pedal and

RHow fast thevehicle was traveling

This data can help provide a better understand‐

ing of the circumstances in which accidents and

injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data is recorded by

your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation

occurs; no data is recorded by the EDR under

normal driving conditions and no personal data

(e.g. name, gender, age and accident location) is

recorded. However, other parties, such as law

enforcement, could combine EDR data with the

type of personally identifying data routinely

acquired during a crash investigation.

30 General notes

Access to thevehicle and/or the EDR is needed

to read data that is recorded by the EDR, and

special equipment is required. In addition to the

vehicle manufacturer, other parties that have the

special equipment, such as law enforcement,

can read the information by accessing thevehi‐

cle or the EDR.

EDR data may be used in civil and criminal mat‐

ters as a tool in accident reconstruction, acci‐

dent claims and vehicle safety. Since the Crash

Data Retrieval (CDR) tool that is used to extract

data from the EDR is commercially available,

Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC ("MBUSA") expressly

disclaims any and all liability arising from the

extraction of this information by unauthorized

Mercedes-Benz personnel.

MBUSA will not share EDR data with others with‐

out the consent of thevehicle owner or, if the

vehicle is leased, without the consent of the les‐

see. Exceptions to this representation include

responses to subpoenas by law enforcement; by

federal, state or local government; in connection

with or arising out of litigation involving MBUSA

or its subsidiaries and affiliates; or, as required

by law.

Warning: the EDR is a component of the

Restraint System Module. Tampering with, alter‐

ing, modifying or removing the EDR component

may result in a malfunction of theRestraint Sys‐

tem Module and other systems.

State laws or regulations regarding EDRs that

conflict with federal regulation are pre-empted.

This means that in theevent of such conflict, the

federal regulation governs. As of December

2016,17 states have enacted laws relating to

EDRs.

Restraint system

Protection by therestraint system

The restraint system includes thefollowing com‐

ponents:

RSeat belt system

RAirbags

RChild restraint system

RChild seat securing system

The restraint system can reduce therisk of vehi‐

cle occupants coming into contact with parts of

thevehicle's interior in theevent of an accident.

The restraint system can also reduce theforces

to which vehicle occupants are subjected in the

event of an accident.

Only a seat belt which is worn correctly can pro‐

vide the intended level of protection. Depending

on the detected accident situation, Emergency

Tensioning Devices and/or airbags supplement a

correctly worn seat belt. Emergency Tensioning

Devices and/or airbags are not deployed in

every accident.

Fortherestraint system to provide its full protec‐

tion, each occupant must observe thefollowing:

RFasten the seat belt correctly.

RBe in an almost upright position with their

back against the seat backrest.

RSit with their feet resting on thefloor, if pos‐

sible.

RAlways secure persons under 5 ft (1.50 m)

tall in an additional restraint system suitable

for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

However, no system available today can com‐

pletely eliminate injuries and fatalities in every

accident situation. In particular, the seat belt

and airbag generally do not protect against

objects penetrating thevehicle from the outside.

The risk of an injury resulting from airbag

deployment also cannot be ruled out entirely.

Limited protection from therestraint system

&WARNING Risk of injury or death from

modifications to therestraint system

The restraint system can no longer function

correctly after alterations have been made.

The restraint system may then not protect

thevehicle occupants as intended by failing

in an accident or triggering unexpectedly, for

example

#Never alter the parts of therestraint

system.

#Nevertamper with the wiring or any

electronic component parts or their

software.

If it is necessary to adjust thevehicle to accom‐

modate a person with disabilities, contact an

authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for details.

USA only: for further information contact our

Customer Assistance Center at

1-800-FOR-MERCedes (1‑800‑367‑6372).

Occupant safety 33

Restraint system functionality

When the ignition is switched on, a self-test is

performed, during which the6restraint sys‐

temwarning lamp lights up. It goes out no later

than a few seconds afterthevehicle is started.

The components of therestraint system are then

functional.

Malfunctioning restraint system

A malfunction has occurred in therestraint sys‐

tem if:

Rthe6restraint system warning lamp does

not light up when the ignition is switched on

Rthe6restraint system warning lamp

lights up continuously or repeatedly during a

journey

&WARNING Risk of injury or fatal injury

due to a malfunction in therestraint sys‐

tem

If therestraint system is malfunctioning,

restraint system components may be trig‐

gered unintentionally or might not be trig‐

gered at all in theevent of an accident. This

may affect the Emergency Tensioning Device

or airbag, forexample.

#Have therestraint system checked and

repaired immediately at a qualified spe‐

cialist workshop.

Function of therestraint system in an acci‐

dent

How therestraint system works is determined by

the severity of the impact detected and the type

of accident anticipated:

RFrontal impact

RRear impact

RSide impact

RRollover

The activation thresholds forthe components of

therestraint system are determined based on

theevaluation of the sensor values measured at

various points in thevehicle. This process is pre-

emptive in nature. The triggering/deployment of

the components of therestraint system must

take place in good time at thestart of the colli‐

sion.

Factors which can only be seen and measured

after a collision has occurred do not play a deci‐

sive role in the deployment of an airbag. Nor do

they provide an indication of airbag deployment.

The vehicle may be deformed significantly with‐

out an airbag being deployed. This is the case if

only parts which are relatively easily deformed

are affected and therate of vehicle deceleration

is not high. Conversely, an airbag may be

deployedeven though thevehicle suffers only

minor deformation. If very rigid vehicle parts

such as longitudinal members are hit, forexam‐

ple, this may result in sufficiently high levels of

vehicle deceleration.

34 Occupant safety

The components of therestraint system can

be activated or deployed independently of

each other:

Component Detected deploy‐

ment situation

Front Emergency Ten‐

sioning Devices

The front passenger front airbag can only be

deployed in an accident if thePASSENGER AIR

BAG OFF indicator lamp is off. If the front

passenger seat is occupied, make sure, both

before and during the journey, that thestatus of

the front passenger front airbag is correct

(/page 44).

&WARNING Risk of burns from hot air bag

components

The air bag parts are hot after an air bag has

been deployed.

#Do not touch the air bag parts.

#Have a deployed air bag replaced at a

qualified specialist workshop as soon

as possible.

Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have the

vehicle towedto aqualified specialist workshop

after an accident. Take this into account, partic‐

ularly if an Emergency Tensioning Device is trig‐

gered or an airbag deployed.

If the Emergency Tensioning Devices are trig‐

gered or an airbag is deployed, you will hear a

bang, and a small amount of powder may also be

released:

RThe bang will not generally affect your hear‐

ing.

RIn general, the powder released is not haz‐

ardous to health but may cause short-term

breathing difficulties to persons suffering

from asthma or other pulmonary conditions.

Provided it is safe to do so, leave thevehicle

immediately or open the window in order to

prevent breathing difficulties.

Airbags and pyrotechnic Emergency Tensioning

Devices contain perchlorate material, which may

require special handling or environmental pro‐

tection measures. National guidelines regarding

waste disposal must be observed. In California,

Occupant safety 35

Seat belts

Protection provided by the seat belt

Alwaysfasten your seat belt correctly before

starting a journey. A seat belt can only provide

the best level of protection if it is worn correctly.

&WARNING Risk of injury or death due to

incorrectly fastened seat belt

If the seat belt is not worn correctly, it can‐

not perform its intended protective function.

In addition, an incorrectly fastened seat belt

can also cause injuries, forexample, in the

event of an accident or when braking or

changing direction suddenly.

#Always ensure that all vehicle occu‐

pants have their seat belts fastened

correctly and are sitting properly.

Always observe the instructions about the cor‐

rect driver's seat position and adjusting the seat

(/page 90).

In order forthe correctly worn seat belt to pro‐

vide the intended level of protection, each vehi‐

cle occupant must observe thefollowing infor‐

mation:

RThe seat belt must not be twisted and must

fit tightly and snugly across the body.

RThe seat belt must be routed across the cen‐

ter of the shoulder and as low down across

the hips as possible.

RThe shoulder section of the seat belt should

not touch your neck nor be routed under

your arm or behind your back.

RAvoid wearing bulky clothing, e.g. a winter

coat.

RPush the lap belt down as far as possible

across your hips and pull tight with the shoul‐

der section of the belt. Neverroute the lap

belt across your abdomen.

RNeverroute the seat belt across sharp, poin‐

ted, abrasive or fragile objects.

ROnly one person should use each seat belt at

any one time. Never allow babies and chil‐

dren to travel sitting on the lap of another

vehicle occupant.

RNever secure objects with a seat belt if the

seat belt is also being used by one of the

vehicle's occupants. Always observe the

instructions for loading thevehicle when

securing objects, luggage or loads

(/page 104).

Also ensure that no objects, e.g. a cushion,

are ever placed between a person and the

seat.

The seat belts on thefollowing seats are equip‐

ped with a special seat belt retractor:

Rfront-passenger seat

RRear seats

Activate or deactivate the special seatbelt

retractor (/page 54).

If children are traveling in thevehicle, be sure to

observe the instructions and safety notes on

"Children in thevehicle" (/page 49).

36 Occupant safety

Reduced seat belt protection

&WARNING Risk of injury or death due to

incorrect seat position

The seat belt does not offerthe intended

level of protection if you have not movedthe

seat backrest to an almost vertical position.

When braking or in theevent of an accident,

you could slide underneath the seat belt and

sustain abdominal or neck injuries, forexam‐

ple.

#Adjust the seat properly before begin‐

ning your journey.

#Always ensure that the seat backrest is

in an almost vertical position and that

the shoulder section of your seat belt is

routed across the center of your shoul‐

der.

&WARNING Risk of injury or death when

additional restraint systems are not used

for persons with a smaller build

Persons under 5 ft (1.50 m) tall cannot wear

the seat belt correctly without a suitable

additional restraint system.

If the seat belt is not worn correctly, it can‐

not perform its intended protective function.

In addition, an incorrectly fastened seat belt

can also cause injuries, forexample, in the

event of an accident or when braking or

changing direction suddenly.

#Always secure persons under 5 ft

(1.50 m) tall in a suitable restraint sys‐

tem.

&WARNING Risk of injury or death due to

damaged or modified seat belts

Seat belts cannot provide protection in the

following situations:

RIf the seat belts are damaged, modified,

extremely dirty, bleached or dyed

RIf the seat belt buckle is damaged or

extremely dirty

RIf the Emergency Tensioning Devices,

seat belt anchorages or seat belt retrac‐

tors have been modified

Seat belts may be damaged in an accident,

although the damage may not be visible, e.g.

due to splinters of glass.

Modified or damaged seat belts may tear or

fail, e.g. in an accident.

Modified Emergency Tensioning Devices can

accidentally trigger or fail to function as

intended.

#Never modify the seat belts, Emergency

Tensioning Devices, seat belt ancho‐

rages or seat belt retractors.

#Make sure that the seat belts are

undamaged, not worn and clean.

#Always have the seat belts checked

immediately after an accident at a

qualified specialist workshop.

Occupant safety 37

40 Occupant safety

Protection by the airbags

Depending on the accident situation, an airbag

may supplement the protection offeredby a cor‐

rectly fastened seat belt.

&WARNING Risk of injury or death due to

incorrect seat position

If you deviate from the correct seat position,

the air bag cannot perform its intended pro‐

tective function and deployment may even

cause further injuries.

To avoid hazardous situations, always make

sure that all vehicle occupants:

RHave their seat belt fastened correctly,

including pregnant women.

RAre seated properly and that distance to

the air bags is as large as possible.

RObserve thefollowing information.

#Always make sure that there are no

objects between the air bag and the

vehicle occupant.

To avoid therisks resulting from the deployment

of an airbag, each vehicle occupant must

observe thefollowing information:

RBefore starting your journey, adjust your seat

correctly;the driver's seat and front-

passenger seat should be moved as far back

as possible.

When doing so, always observe the informa‐

tion on the correct driver's seat position

(/page 90).

ROnly hold thesteering wheel by thesteering

wheel rim. This allowsthe airbag to be fully

deployed.

RAlways lean against the seat backrest when

thevehicle is in motion. Do not lean forwards

or against the door or side window. You may

otherwise be in the deployment area of the

airbags.

RAlwayskeep your feet on thefloor. Do not

put your feet on the cockpit, forexample.

Your feet may otherwise be in the deploy‐

ment area of the airbag.

RIf children are traveling in thevehicle,

observe the additional notes

(/page 49).

RAlwaysstow and secure objects correctly.

Objects in thevehicle interior may prevent an

airbag from functioning correctly. Each vehicle

occupant must always make sure of thefollow‐

ing:

RThere are no people, animals or objects

between thevehicle occupants and an air‐

bag.

RThere are no objects between the seat, door

and door pillar (B-pillar).

RThere are no hard objects, e.g. coat hangers,

hanging on the grab handles or coat hooks.

RThere are no accessory parts, such as PNDs

(Personal Navigation Devices), mobile

phones or cup holders attached to thevehi‐

cle within the deployment area of an airbag,

e.g. on the cockpit, on doors, side windows

or side paneling.

In addition, no connecting cable, tensioning

strap or retaining strap may be routed

Occupant safety 41

through or attached in the deployment area

of an airbag. Always observe the accessory

manufacturer's installation instructions, in

particular the information on suitable places

for installation.

RThere are no heavy, sharp-edged or fragile

objects in the pockets of your clothing. Store

such objects in a suitable place.

Limited protection from airbags

&WARNING Risk of injury due to modifi‐

cations to the airbag cover

If you modify the cover of an airbag or affix

objects such as stickers to it, the airbag may

no longer function correctly.

#Never modify the cover of an airbag and

do not affix objects to it.

The installation location of an airbag is identified

by the AIRBAG symbol (/page 40).

&WARNING Risk of injury or death due to

the use of unsuitable seat covers

Unsuitable seat covers can obstruct or pre‐

vent the deployment of air bags integrated

into the seats.

Consequently, the air bags cannot protect

vehicle occupants as they are designed to

do. In addition, operation of the automatic

front passenger air bag shutoff may be

restricted.

#You should only use seat covers that

have been approved forthe correspond‐

ing seats by Mercedes-Benz.

&WARNING Risk of injury due to malfunc‐

tions of the sensors in the door paneling

Sensors to control the airbags are located in

the doors. Modifications or work not per‐

formed correctly to the doors or door panel‐

ing, as well as damaged doors, can lead to

the function of the sensors being impaired.

The airbags might therefore not function

properly any more.

Consequently,the airbags cannot protect

vehicle occupants as they are designed to

do.

#Never modify the doors or parts of the

doors.

#Always have work on the doors or door

paneling carried out at a qualified spe‐

cialist workshop.

&WARNING Risk of injury due to deployed

airbag

A deployed airbag no longer has a protective

function and cannot protect as intended in

theevent of an accident.

#Have thevehicle towedto aqualified

specialist workshop in order to have the

deployed airbag replaced.

Have deployed airbags replaced immediately.

42 Occupant safety

Status of the front passenger front airbag

Function of the automatic front passenger

front airbag shutoff

The automatic front passenger front airbag shut‐

off is able to detect whether the front passenger

seat is occupied by a person or a child restraint

system. The front passenger front airbag is ena‐

bled or disabled accordingly.

When installing a child restraint system on the

front passenger seat, always make sure of the

following:

REnsure that thechild restraint system is posi‐

tioned correctly (/page 48).

RAlways observe thechild restraint system

manufacturer's installation instructions.

RNever place objects, e.g. cushions, under or

behind thechild restraint system.

RFully retract the seat cushion length adjust‐

ment.

RThe entire base of thechild restraint system

must alwaysrest on the seat cushion of the

front passenger seat.

RThe backrest of theforward-facing child

restraint system must lie as flat as possible

against the backrest of the front passenger

seat.

RThe child restraint system must not touch the

roof or be put under strain by the head

restraints. Adjust the seat backrest inclina‐

tion and the head restraint setting accord‐

ingly.

&WARNING Risk of injury or death due to

objects between the sitting surface and

thechild restraint system

Objects between the sitting surface and the

child restraint system could affect the func‐

tion of the automatic front passenger airbag

shutoff.

This could result in the front passenger air‐

bag not functioning as intended during an

accident.

#Do not place any objects between the

sitting surface and thechild restraint

system.

#The entire base of thechild restraint

system must alwaysrest on the sitting

surface of the front passenger seat.

#The backrest of theforward-facing child

restraint system must, as far as possi‐

ble, be resting on the seat backrest of

the front passenger seat.

#Always comply with thechild restraint

system manufacturer's installation

instructions.

A person on the front passenger seat must

observe thefollowing information:

RFasten seat belts correctly (/page 36).

RSit in an almost upright seat position with

their back against the seat backrest.

RSit with their feet resting on thefloor, if pos‐

sible.

The front passenger front airbag may otherwise

be disabled by mistake,forexample in thefol‐

lowing situations:

RThe front passenger transfers their weight by

supporting themselves on a vehicle armrest.

Occupant safety 43

RThe front passenger sits in such a waythat

their weight is raised from the sitting sur‐

face.

&WARNING Risk of injury or death due to

deactivated front passenger airbag

If thePASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator

lamp is lit, the front passenger airbag is disa‐

bled. It will not be deployed in theevent of

an accident and cannot perform its intended

protective function.

A person in the front passenger seat could

then, forexample, come into contact with

thevehicle interior, especially if the person is

sitting too close to the cockpit.

If the front passenger seat is occupied,

always ensure that:

RThe classification of the person in the

front passenger seat is correct and the

front passenger airbag is enabled or disa‐

bled in accordance with the person in the

simultaneously.

44 Occupant safety

The status of the front passenger front airbag is

displayed afterthe self-test:

RPASSENGER AIR BAG ON lights up for

60 seconds, subsequently both indicator

lamps are off (PASSENGER AIR BAG ON and

OFF): the front passenger front airbag is able

to deploy in theevent of an accident.

RPASSENGER AIR BAG OFF lights up continu‐

ously: the front passenger front airbag is dis‐

abled. It will then not be deployed in the

event of an accident.

If thePASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp is

off, only thePASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator

lamp shows thestatus of the front passenger

front airbag. The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indi‐

cator lamp may be lit continuously or be off.

If thePASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp

and the6restraint system warning lamp

light up simultaneously, the front passenger seat

may not be used. Also in this case, do not install

achild restraint system on the front passenger

seat. Have automatic front passenger front air‐

bag shutoff checked and repaired immediately at

nize potential risks and avoid dangers if chil‐

dren are traveling in thevehicle

(/page 49).

Be diligent

Bear in mind that neglecting to secure a child in

thechild restraint system may have serious con‐

sequences. Always be diligent in securing a child

carefully before every journey.

To improve protection forchildren younger than

12 years old or under 5 ft (1.50 m) in height,

Mercedes-Benz recommends you observethe

following information:

RAlways secure thechild in a child restraint

system suitable forthis Mercedes-Benz vehi‐

cle.

RThe child restraint system must be appropri‐

ate to the age, weight and size of thechild.

RThe vehicle seat must be suitable for instal‐

ling a child restraint system.

Accident statistics show that children secured in

therear seats are generally safer than children

secured in the front seats. Forthis reason,

Mercedes-Benz strongly advises that you install

achild restraint system on a rear seat.

48 Occupant safety

Genericterm "child restraint system"

The generic term child restraint system is used

in this Operator's Manual. A child restraint sys‐

tem is, forexample:

Ra baby car seat

Rarearward-facing child seat

Raforward-facing child seat

Rachild booster seat with a backrest and seat

belt guide

Mercedes-Benz recommends using a child

booster seat with a backrest.

The child restraint system must be appropriate

to the age, weight and size of thechild.

Observing laws and legal requirements

Always observe the legal requirements when

using a child restraint system in thevehicle.

Observing standards forchild restraint sys‐

tems

All child restraint systems must meet thefollow‐

ing standards:

RU.S. Federal MotorVehicle SafetyStandards

213 and 225

RCanadian MotorVehicle SafetyStandards

213 and 210.2

Confirmation that thechild restraint system

complies with thestandards can be found on an

instruction label on thechild restraint system.

This confirmation can also be found in the instal‐

lation instructions that are included with the

child restraint system.

Detecting risks, avoiding danger

Securing systems forchild restraint systems

in thevehicle

Only use thefollowing securing systems forchild

restraint systems:

RtheLATCH-type (ISOFIX) mounting brackets

Rthevehicle's seat belt system

RtheTopTether anchorages

Installing a LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint

system is preferred.

Simply attaching to the securing rings on the

vehicle can reduce therisk of installing thechild

restraint system incorrectly.

When securing a child with the integrated seat

belt of theLATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint

system, always comply with the permissible

gross weight forthechild and child restraint sys‐

tem (/page 54).

A booster seat may be necessary to achieve

proper seat belt positioning forchildren over

40 lbs (18 kg) in weight or until they reach a

height where a three-point seat belt can be

installed properly without a booster seat.

Mercedes-Benz recommends a suitable child

booster seat with a backrest and seat belt guide.

Advantage of a rearward-facing child

restraint system

It is preferable to transport a baby or a small

child in a suitable rearward-facing child restraint

system. In this case, thechild sits in the oppo‐

Occupant safety 49

site direction to the direction of travel and faces

backwards.

Babies and small children have comparatively

weak neck muscles in relation to the size and

weight of their head. The risk of injury to the cer‐

vical spine during an accident can be reduced in

arearward-facing child restraint system.

Always secure a child restraint system cor‐

rectly

&WARNING Risk of injury or death caused

by incorrect installation of thechild

restraint system

If thechild restraint system is incorrectly

installed on a suitable seating position, it

cannot perform its intended protective func‐

tion.

The child cannot be restrained in theevent of

an accident, heavy braking or a sudden

change of direction.

#Always comply with the manufacturer's

installation instructions forthechild

restraint system and its correct use.

#Make sure that the entire base of the

child restraint system alwaysrests on

the sitting surface of the seat.

#Never place objects under or behind

thechild restraint system, e.g. cush‐

ions.

#Always use child restraint systems with

the original cover designed forthem.

#Alwaysreplace damaged covers with

genuine covers.

&WARNING Risk of injury or death from

unsecured child restraint systems in the

vehicle

If thechild restraint system is not correctly

installed or secured, it could release in the

event of an accident, sudden braking or a

sudden change in direction.

The child restraint system could be flung

around and hit vehicle occupants.

#Always install child restraint systems

correctly, even when not in use.

&WARNING Risk of injury due to modifi‐

cations to thechild restraint system

The child restraint system may no longer

function as it is supposed to if you make

modifications or attach objects to it, e.g. toys

or unsuitable accessories. This poses an

increased risk of injury!

Never modify thechild restraint system. Only

attach accessories which the manufacturer

of thechild restraint system has authorized

especially forthis child restraint system.

Only use child restraint systems which are in

proper working condition

&WARNING Risk of injury or death caused

by the use of damaged child restraint

systems

Child restraint systems or their retaining sys‐

tems that have been subjectedto a load in

an accident may then not be able to perform

their intended protective function.

The child cannot be restrained in theevent of

an accident, heavy braking or a sudden

change of direction.

#Alwaysreplace child restraint systems

immediately that have been damaged or

involved in an accident.

#Have the securing systems forthechild

restraint systems checked at a qualified

specialist workshop before installing a
