Mercedes-Benz GLC : Occupant safety / Notes on pets in the vehicle
WARNING Risk of accident and injury
due to animals left unsecured or unattended

trapped, for example

other road users
Unsecured animals may be thrown around in
the vehicle in the event of an accident or
sudden steering and braking maneuvers and
injure vehicle occupants in the process.
Never leave animals in the vehicle unattended.
Always correctly secure animals while
driving, e.g. using a suitable animal carrier.
