Regularly check that the permissible gross mass
of the child and child restraint system is still
complied with.
When installing a child restraint system, observe
the following:
O Always observe the correct use of the seats
and consider their suitability for attaching a
child restraint system.
O Always comply with the manufacturer's
installation and operating instructions for
the child restraint system used.
O Make sure that the child's feet do not touch
the front seat. If necessary, move the front
seat slightly forwards.
® When installing a LATCH-type (ISOFIX)
child restraint system, also observe the follow‐
ing:
O When using a Group 0/0+ baby car seat
and a Group I rearward-facing child
restraint system on a rear seat: adjust
the front seat so that the seat does not
touch the child restraint system.
O When using a Group I forward-facing
child restraint system: remove the head
restraint from the respective seat, if possi‐
ble. In addition, the backrest of the child
restraint system must lie as flat as possible
against the backrest of the vehicle seat.
After the child restraint system has been
removed, replace the head restraint immedi‐
ately and adjust all head restraints cor‐
rectly.
O For certain child restraint systems in weight
Group II or III, there may be restrictions on
the maximum size setting, e.g. due to possi‐
ble contact with the roof.
O The child restraint system must not be ten‐
sioned between the roof and the seat cush‐
Occupant safety
ion and/or be installed facing the wrong
direction. Where possible, adjust the seat
cushion inclination accordingly.
O The child restraint system must not be put
under strain by the head restraint. Adjust
the head restraints accordingly.
