MAYBACH 57 - Children in the Vehicle

Safety and Security
Occupant safety
In an impact, emergency tensioning de-
vices remove slack from the belts in such
a way that the seat belts fit more snugly
against the body. Belt force limiters re-
duce the force exerted by the seat belts
on occupants during a crash.
Automatic comfort-fit feature seat belt
An automatic comfort-fit feature for
front seats reduces the retracting force
of the seat belts when they are in normal
use.
If an infant or child is traveling with you
in the vehicle:
 Secure the child using an infant or
child restraint appropriate to the age
and size of the child.
 Make sure the infant or child is prop-
erly secured at all times while the ve-
hicle is in motion.
Infant and child restraint seats and infor-
mation on choosing an appropriate re-
straint system can be obtained from any
Maybach Studio.
Infant and child restraint systems
Use only a BabySmart
TM1
compatible
child restraint for the front passenger
seat in this vehicle.
We recommend all infants and children
be properly restrained at all times while
the vehicle is in motion.
All lap-shoulder belts except the driver’s
seat belt have special seat belt retractors
for secure fastening of child restraints.
To fasten a child restraint, follow child
restraint instructions for mounting. Then
pull the shoulder belt out completely
and let it retract. During seat belt retrac-
tion, a ratcheting sound can be heard to
indicate that the special seat belt retrac-
tor is activated. The belt is now locked.
Push down on child restraint to take up
any slack.
i
The ETDs for the front seats will only
activate if the respective front seat
belt is fastened (latch plate properly
inserted into buckle).
The ETDs for the rear outer seats will
activate with or without the respec-
tive seat belt fastened.
Warning! G
An emergency tensioning device (ETD)
that was activated must be replaced.
When disposing of the emergency tension-
ing device, our safety instructions must be
followed. These are available at your au-
thorized Maybach Studio.
!
Do not place objects heavier than
20 lbs (9 kg) on the front passenger
seat. This could cause the front or side
impact airbag on the front passenger
side to deploy in a crash which ex-
ceeds the system's deployment
threshold.
