Mercedes-Benz GLC : Detecting risks, avoiding danger / Securing systems for child restraint systems
in the vehicle
Only use the following securing systems for child
restraint systems:
- The LATCH-type (ISOFIX) securing rings
- The vehicle's seat belt system
- The Top Tether anchorages
Installing a LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint
system is preferred.
Simply attaching to the securing rings on the
vehicle can reduce the risk of installing the child
restraint system incorrectly.
When securing a child with the integrated seat
belt of the LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint
system, always comply with the permissible
gross weight for the child and child restraint system.
A booster seat may be necessary to achieve
proper seat belt positioning for children 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.
It is preferable to transport a baby or a small
child in a suitable rearward-facing child restraint
system. In this case, the child sits in the opposite
direction to the direction of travel and faces
backwards...
Other information:
Depending on the accident situation, an airbag
may supplement the protection offered by a correctly
fastened seat belt.
WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
an incorrect seat position
If you deviate from the correct seat position,
the airbag cannot perform its intended protective
function...
WARNING Risk of accident due to a flat
tire
A flat tire severely affects the driving characteristics
as well as the steering and braking
of the vehicle.
Tires without run-flat characteristics:
Do not drive with a flat
tire.
Change the flat tire
immediately with an
emergency spare wheel or spare wheel...
