Child seat securing systems
The restraint system can help prevent the vehicle occupants from coming into contact with parts of the vehicle interior in the event of an accident. In the event of an accident, the restraint system can also reduce the forces to which the vehicle occupants are subjected.
Only a seat belt which is worn correctly can provide the intended level of protection. Depending on the detected accident situation, seat belt tensioners and/or airbags supplement the protection offered by a correctly worn seat belt. Seat belt tensioners and/or airbags are not deployed in every accident.
Vehicles with a co-driver bench seat: the seat belt tensioner on the co-driver seat is triggered whether or not the seat belt tongue is engaged in the seat belt buckle.
Fasten seat belts correctly.
Sit in an almost upright seat position with their back against the seat backrest.
Sit with their feet resting on the floor, if possible.
Always secure persons under 1.50 m tall in an additional restraint system suitable for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
However, no system available today can completely eliminate injuries and fatalities in every accident situation. In particular, the seat belt and airbag generally do not protect against objects penetrating the vehicle from the outside. It is also not possible to completely rule out the risk of injury caused by the airbag deploying.
