Mercedes-Benz GL-Class: Top Tether
WARNING 
Always lock the rear seat backrests in their
upright position when the rear seats are
occupied by passengers. Lock the rear seat
backrests in their upright position before
installing the Top Tether straps or when the
cargo compartment is not in use. Make sure
that rear seat backrests are secured properly
by pushing and pulling on the seat backrests.
If the seat backrest is not locked properly, the
seat backrest could fold forward. The child
restraint system is no longer supported
properly or held in position and can no longer
fulfill its function. This could cause serious or
even fatal injuries.
Top Tether provides an additional connection between the child restraint system secured with ISOFIX and the rear seat. It helps reduce the risk of injury even further.
The Top Tether anchorages for the second row of seats are located on the rear of the rear seat backrests. For the third row of seats, use the cargo tie-down rings in the trunk floor.

Top Tether anchorage.
► Place covering cap 1 in a suitable
place
(e.g. in the glove box).

restraint system with Top Tether. Comply
with the manufacturer's installation
instructions when doing so.

restraint between the two head restraint
bars.
► Route Top Tether belt 4 downward
