WARNING (Continued)
Children are exposed to an increased risk of injury in the event of an acci-
■
dent if they lean forward or adopt an incorrect seated position when the
vehicle is moving. This particularly applies to children who are transported
on the front passenger seat as they can suffer severe, or even fatal injuries
if the airbag system is deployed!
Pay particular attention to the information provided by the manufacturer
■
of the child safety seat regarding the correct routing of the belt. Seat belts
which are not correctly adjusted can themselves cause injuries even in mi-
nor accidents.
Safety belts must be checked to ensure that they are running properly.
■
One should also ensure that the belt is not damaged by sharp-edged fit-
tings.
When installing the child seat on the back seat, the corresponding front
■
seat must be adjusted so that there is no contact between the front seat
and the child seat or the child being transported in a child seat.
Before installing a forward-facing child seat with backrest, remove the
■
headrest » page 81. After removing the child seat, refit the head re-
straints.
Note
We recommend that you use child seats from ŠKODA Original Accessories.
These child seats were developed and also tested for use in ŠKODA vehicles.
They meet the ECE-R 44 standard.

Read and observe on page 21 first.
Never use a rearward-facing child restraint system on a seat which is protec-
ted by an active airbag. This could cause serious injury to the child, even
death.
This is indicated also on stickers that are located at the following positions.
▶
On the front passenger's sun visor
▶
On the B-pillar on the front passenger side
The following instructions must be followed when using a child seat on the
front passenger seat.
▶
The front passenger airbag must be deactivated if using a rear-facing child
seat » .
▶
If possible, adjust the front passenger seat backrest so that it is as vertical,
so as to ensure secure contact between the passenger seat backrest and the
back of the child seat.
▶
If possible, move the front passenger seat backwards so that there is no con-
tact between the front passenger seat and the child seat behind it.
▶
Set the height-adjustable front passenger seat as high up as possible.
▶
Set the front passenger seat belt as high up as possible.
▶
With child safety seats in groups 2 and 3, make sure that the loop-around fit-
tings attached to the child seat headrest is positioned in front of or at the
same height as the loop-around fittings on the B pillar on the passenger side.
