Securing the child restraint system with the
seat belt
Securing the child restraint system with the
seat belt on the rear seat
& WARNING Risk of accident if the rear
bench seat, rear seat and seat backrest
are not engaged
The rear bench seat, rear seat and seat back‐
rest may fold forwards, even when you are
driving.
As a result, the vehicle occupant will be
R
pushed into the seat belt with increased
force. The seat belt will not be able to
protect as intended and could cause
additional injury.
Objects or loads in the trunk or cargo
R
compartment will not be restrained by
1
down‐
the seat backrest.
Make sure that the rear bench seat, the
#
rear seat and the seat backrest are
engaged before every trip.
Occupant safety
Ensure that the rear seat backrest is engaged. To
do so, pull forcefully on the seat backrest.
When installing a belt-secured child
restraint system, observe the following:
O Always comply with the manufacturer's
installation and operating instructions for
the child restraint system used.
O When using a category 0/0+ baby car
seat and a category 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 category I forward-facing
child restraint system: remove the head
restraint from the respective seat, if possi‐
ble.
After the child restraint system has been
removed, replace the head restraint immedi‐
ately and adjust all head restraints cor‐
rectly.
O The backrest of the forward-facing child
restraint system must, as far as possible, be
resting on the seat backrest of the rear
seat.
