Securing Top Tether

If the child restraint system is equipped with a Top Tether belt:
The risk of injury can be reduced by Top Tether. The Top Tether belt facilitates an additional connection between the child restraint system attached with LATCH-type (ISOFIX) and the vehicle.

• If necessary, move head restraint 1 upwards (/ page 84).
• Fold up cover 2 of Top Tether anchorage 3.
• Install the LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint system with Top Tether. Always comply with the child restraint system manufacturer’s installation instructions when doing so.
• Guide Top Tether belt 4 under head restraint 1 between the two head restraint bars.
• Hook Top Tether hook 5 of Top Tether belt 4 without twisting into Top Tether anchor‐age 3.
• Tension Top Tether belt 4. Always comply with the child restraint system manufactur‐er’s installation instructions when doing so.
• Fold down cover 2 of Top Tether anchorage
• If necessary, slide head restraint 1 down‐wards (/ page 84). Make sure that you do not interfere with the correct routing of Top Tether belt 4.

Securing the child restraint system with the seat belt

Securing the child restraint system with the seat belt on the rear seat
When installing a belt-secured child restraint system, observe the following:

• Always comply with the manufacturer’s installation and operating instructions for the child restraint system used.
• When using a category 0/0+ baby car seat and a category I rearward-facing child restraint system on a rear seat: adjust the front seat so that the seat does not touch the child restraint system.
• The backrest of the forward-facing child restraint system must, as far as possible, be resting on the seat backrest of the rear seat.
• For certain child restraint systems in weight category II or III, there may be restrictions in the maximum size setting, e.g. due to possi‐ble contact with the roof.
• The child restraint system must not be put under strain between the roof and the seat cushion and/or be installed facing the wrong direction. Where possible, adjust the seat cushion inclination accordingly.
• The child restraint system must not be put under strain by the head restraints. Adjust the head restraints accordingly.
• Make sure that the child’s feet do not touch the front seat. If necessary, move the front seat forward slightly.

The seat belts on the following seats are equip‐ped with a special seat belt retractor:

When enabled, the special seat belt retractor ensures that the seat belts of the front passenger seat and rear seats do not slacken once the child restraint system is secured (/ page 49)..

• Install the child restraint system. The entire base of the child restraint system must always rest on the sitting surface of the rear seat.
• Always make sure that the shoulder belt strap is correctly routed from the seat belt outlet of the vehicle to the shoulder belt guide on the child restraint system. The shoulder belt strap must be routed for‐wards and downwards from the seat belt out‐let.

Restraint system

Protection by the restraint system

The restraint system includes the following com‐ponents:

• Seat belt system
• Airbags
• Child restraint system
• Child seat securing system

The restraint system can reduce the risk of vehi‐cle occupants coming into contact with parts of the vehicle’s interior in the event of an accident. The restraint system can also reduce the forces 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.

For the restraint system to provide its full protec‐tion, each occupant must observe the following:

• Fasten the seat belt correctly.
• Be in an almost upright position with their back against the seat backrest.
• Sit with their feet resting on the floor, if possible.
• Always 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 the vehicle from the outside. The risk of an injury resulting from airbag deployment also cannot be ruled out entirely.

Limited protection from the restraint system
WARNING Risk of injury or death from modifications to the restraint system

The restraint system can no longer function correctly after alterations have been made. The restraint system may then not protect the vehicle occupants as intended by failing in an accident or triggering unexpectedly, for example

• Never alter the parts of the restraint system.
• Never tamper with the wiring or any electronic component parts or their software.

If it is necessary to adjust the vehicle 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).

HANDS-FREE ACCESS function
With HANDS-FREE ACCESS you can open, close or interrupt trunk lid movement by performing a kicking movement under the rear bumper. The kicking movement triggers the opening or closing process alternately. Observe the notes when opening (/ page 63) and closing (/ page 64) the trunk lid. % A warning tone sounds while the trunk lid is opening or closing.

WARNING Risk of burns caused by a hot exhaust system The vehicle exhaust system can become very hot. If you use HANDS-FREE ACCESS, you could burn yourself by touching the exhaust system.

• Always ensure that you only make a kicking movement within the detection range of the sensors.
• NOTE Damage to the vehicle caused by unintentionally opening the trunk lid
  • When using an automatic car wash
  • When using a high pressure cleaner
• Deactivate KEYLESS-GO or make sure that the SmartKey located is at least 10 ft (3 m) away from the vehicle in such situations

When making the kicking movement, make sure that your feet are firmly on the ground, other‐wise you could lose your balance, e.g. on ice.
Requirements:

• The SmartKey is behind the vehicle.
• Stand at least 12 in (30 cm) away from the vehicle while performing the kicking move‐ment.
• Do not come into contact with the bumper while making the kicking movement.
• Do not carry out the kicking movement too slowly.
• The kicking movement must be towards the vehicle and back again.

WARNING Risk of entrapment when opening a side window When opening a side window, parts of the body could be drawn in or become trapped between the side window and window frame.

• When opening, make sure that nobody is touching the side window.
• If someone is trapped, release the button immediately or pull it in order to close the side window again.
• When closing a side window, body parts could be trapped in the closing area in the process.
  When closing, make sure that no body parts are in the closing area.
