Safety and security
! Take care not to trap the seat belt on the
center seat when you install the child restraint
system.
1 Securing rings – LATCH type anchors
G Warning
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 maneuvers
and could be seriously or fatally injured. You
must therefore observe the installation in-
structions issued by the child restraint sys-
tem manufacturer when installing a child
restraint system. On the rear bench seat, only
use LATCH-type child restraint systems with
ISOFIX child seat mountings that have been
recommended by the child-seat manufactur-
er.
An incorrectly installed child restraint system
could come loose and the child or other vehi-
cle occupants could be fatally injured. You
must therefore make sure that the child re-
straint system is engaged in the securing
rings on the left and right-hand side of the
seat after it has been installed.
G Warning
If the child restraint system or its securing
system, for example the ISOFIX child seat se-
curing system, is damaged or has been sub-
jected to a load in an accident, the child
secured in it could suffer severe or fatal inju-
ries 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 re-
placed if necessary at an authorized Sprinter
Dealer if they are damaged or have been sub-
jected to a load in an accident. In particular,
work relevant to safety or on safety-related
systems must be carried out at an authorized
Sprinter Dealer.
G Warning
Do not leave children unsupervised in the ve-
hicle even if they are secured in a child re-
straint system. The children could injure
themselves on parts of the vehicle. They
could be seriously or even fatally injured by
prolonged exposure to intense heat or cold.
If the children open a door, they could:
O cause injury to others as a result
O get out of the vehicle and could either in-
jure themselves when doing so or they
could be injured by passing vehicles
O sustain serious injuries if they were to fall
out of the vehicle, due in particular to the
height of the passenger compartment
from the ground
Always take the key with you when leaving
the vehicle, even if you are only leaving for a
short time.
G Warning
Do not expose child restraint systems to di-
rect sunlight. Metallic parts of the child re-
straint system could heat up, for example,
and the child could burn him- or herself on
the hot parts.
