Safety and Security Occupant safety Installation of infant and child restraint systems This vehicle is equipped with tether anchorages for a top tether strap at each of the rear seating positions. Guide top tether strap between head restraint and top of seat back. Head restraint must be installed and positioned such that the top tether strap can pass freely between the head restraint and the top of seat back. Make sure the tether strap is not twisted. Warning! G If the 56 indicator lamp should not illuminate, the system is not functioning. You must see an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center before seating any child on the front passenger seat. More information can be found in the "Practical hints" section ( page 360). Warning! G 1 Anchorage ring 2 Hook Open the trunk and release the rear seat backrest ( page 268). Fold rear seat backrest slightly forward. 1 Anchorage ring 2 Hook Fold up anchorage ring 1. Securely fasten hook 2, which is part of the tether strap, to anchorage ring 1. Never place anything between seat cushion and child seat (e.g. pillow), since it reduces the effectiveness of the Occupant Classification System. The bottom of the child seat must make full contact with the passenger seat cushion. An incorrectly mounted child seat could cause injuries to the child in case of an accident, instead of increasing protection for the child. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation of child seats. 79
