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:
If legally required to do so, manufacturers are, in
individual cases, legally obliged to provide governmental
entities, upon request and to the
extent required, data stored by the manufacturer.
For example, this may be the case during
the investigation of a criminal offense...
DANGER Risk of exhaust gas poisoning
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. Exhaust
gases can enter the vehicle interior if the tailgate
is open when the engine is running,
especially if the vehicle is in motion.
Always switch off the
engine before
opening the tailgate...
