Mercedes Benz 2008 c300 Manuale Utente

If an infant or child is traveling with you in 
the vehicle:

왘

Secure the child using an infant or child 
restraint appropriate to the age and 
size of the child.

왘

Make sure the infant or child is 
properly secured at all times while the 
vehicle is in motion.

We recommend all infants and children be 
properly restrained at all times while the 
vehicle is in motion.

All lap-shoulder belts except the driver’s 
seat belt have special seat belt retractors 
for secure fastening of child restraints.

To fasten a child restraint, follow child 
restraint instructions for mounting. Then 
pull the shoulder belt out completely and 
let it retract. During seat belt retraction, a 
ratcheting sound can be heard to indicate 
that the special seat belt retractor is acti-
vated. The seat belt is now locked. Push 
down on child restraint to take up any 
slack.

To deactivate, release seat belt buckle and 
let seat belt retract completely. To deacti-
vate the special seat belt retractor for the 
front passenger seat, the front passenger 
seat must be in the most backward posi-
tion. The seat belt can again be used in the 
usual manner.

G

Do not leave children unattended in the ve-

hicle, even if they are secured in a child re-

straint system. The children could

앫

injure themselves on parts of the vehicle

앫

be seriously or fatally injured through 
excessive 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.

If children open a door, they could

앫

injure other persons

앫

get out of the car and injure themselves 
or be injured by following traffic

Unsecured or improperly positioned cargo 

increases a child’s risk of injury in the event 

of

앫

strong braking maneuvers

앫

sudden changes of direction

앫
