Mercedes-Benz GLC : Occupant safety / Notes on pets in the vehicle
WARNING Risk of accident and injury
due to animals left unsecured or unattended
in the vehicle
If you leave animals in the vehicle unattended
or unsecured, they could possibly press
buttons or switches.
An animal may:
- Activate vehicle equipment and become
trapped, for example
- Switch systems on or off and endanger
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.
