Warning
G
If the child restraint system has not been in-
stalled correctly on a suitable vehicle seat,
the child cannot be restrained in the event
of an accident or sudden braking and could
be seriously or fatally injured. You must
therefore observe the installation instruc-
tions issued by the child restraint system
manufacturer when installing a child re-
straint system.
On the rear bench seat, only use LATCH type
child restraint systems with ISOFIX child
seat mountings that have been recommend-
ed by the manufacturer.
An incorrectly installed child restraint sys-
tem could come loose and the child or other
vehicle occupants could be fatally injured.
You must therefore make sure that the child
restraint system is engaged in the securing
rings on the left and right-hand sides after it
has been installed.
Warning
G
If the child restraint system or its securing
system, for example the ISOFIX child seat
securing system, are damaged or have been
subjected to a load in an accident, the child
secured in it could suffer severe or fatal in-
juries in the event of an accident, heavy
braking or a sudden change of direction.
For this reason, have restraint systems and
their mountings checked immediately and
replaced if necessary at a qualified special-
ist workshop which has the necessary spe-
cialist knowledge and tools to carry out the
work required if they are damaged or have
been subjected to a load in an accident.
The manufacturer recommends that you use
an authorized Sprinter Dealer for this pur-
pose. In particular, work relevant to safety
or on safety-related systems must be car-
ried out at a qualified specialist workshop.
! CAUTION
Take care not to trap the seat belt on
the middle seat when you install the
child restraint system.
Warning
G
Do not leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle, even if they are secured by a child
restraint system. The children could:
ț injure themselves on parts of the vehicle
ț be seriously or even fatally injured by
prolonged exposure to extreme heat or
cold
