Notes for vehicles with a reclining rear seat
When installing a child restraint system, move
the reclining rear seat backrest to an almost
upright position. The reclining rear seat backrest
must be in contact with the child restraint sys‐
tem. Observe the notes on the cushionbag
( page 40).
/
If you install a child restraint system on the
reclining rear seat, be sure to observe the child
restraint system manufacturer's installation
instructions.
Do not modify the child restraint system
& WARNING Risk of injury due to modifi‐
cations to the child restraint system
The child restraint system may no longer
function as it is supposed to if you make
modifications or attach objects to it, e.g. toys
or unsuitable accessories. This poses an
increased risk of injury!
Never modify the child restraint system. Only
attach accessories which the manufacturer
of the child restraint system has authorized
especially for this child restraint system.
Only use child restraint systems which are in
proper working condition
& WARNING Risk of injury or death caused
by the use of damaged child restraint
systems
Child restraint systems or their retaining sys‐
tems that have been subjected to a load in
an accident may then not be able to perform
their intended protective function.
The child cannot be restrained in the event of
an accident, heavy braking or a sudden
change of direction.
Always replace child restraint systems
#
immediately that have been damaged or
involved in an accident.
Have the securing systems for the child
#
restraint systems checked at a qualified
specialist workshop before installing a
child restraint system again.
Avoid direct sunlight
& WARNING Risk of burns when the child
seat is exposed to direct sunlight
If the child restraint system is exposed to
direct sunlight or heat, parts could heat up.
Children could suffer burns from these parts,
particularly on metallic parts of the child
restraint system.
Always make sure that the child
#
restraint system is not exposed to
direct sunlight.
Protect it with a blanket, for example.
#
If the child restraint system has been
#
exposed to direct sunlight, allow it to
cool before securing a child into it.
Never leave children unattended in the
#
vehicle.
