Mercedes-Benz GLC : Safely transporting children in the vehicle / Activating or deactivating the special seat belt retractor
WARNING Risk of injury or death if a seat belt is unfastened while the vehicle is in motion

Stop the vehicle immediately in accordance with the traffic conditions.
Activate the special seal belt retractor again and correctly secure the child restraint system.
