child restraint system on the front-
passenger seat and you position the front-
passenger seat too close to the dashboard,
in the event of an accident, the child could:
come into contact with the vehicle's
R
interior if the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp is lit, for example
be struck by the airbag if the PASSENGER
R
AIR BAG ON indicator lamp is on.
This poses an increased risk of injury or
even fatal injury.
Move the front-passenger seat as far back
as possible. Always make sure that the
shoulder belt strap is correctly routed from
the vehicle belt outlet to the shoulder belt
guide on the child restraint system. The
shoulder belt strap must be routed for-
wards and downwards from the vehicle
belt outlet. If necessary, adjust the front-
passenger seat accordingly. Additionally,
always observe the information on suita-
ble positioning of the child restraint sys-
tem in this Owner's Manual in addition to
the child restraint system manufacturer's
installation instructions.
