Securing the child restraint system with the
seat belt on the front passenger seat
When installing a belt-secured child restraint
system on the front passenger seat, always
observe the following:
O Observe the child restraint system manufac‐
turer's installation and operating instruc‐
tions.
O When using a forward-facing child restraint
system in category I: 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 front
passenger seat.
O For certain child restraint systems in weight
category II or III, there may be restrictions
on the maximum size setting, e.g. due to
possible contact with the roof.
O The child restraint system must not be put
under strain between the roof and the seat
cushion and/or be installed facing the
wrong direction.
O The child restraint system must not be put
under strain by the head restraint. Adjust
the head restraints accordingly.
O Never place objects (e.g. cushions) under or
behind the child restraint system.
The seat belt on the front passenger side is
equipped with a child seat safety feature.
When enabled, the child seat safety feature
ensures that the seat belt does not slacken once
the child seat is secured (
page 51).
/
Set the front passenger seat as far back as
#
possible and move the seat into the highest
position if possible.
Occupant safety
Fully retract the seat cushion length adjust‐
#
ment.
Adjust the seat cushion inclination so that
#
the front edge of the seat cushion is in the
highest position and the rear edge of the
seat cushion is in the lowest position.
Set the seat backrest to the most vertical
#
position possible.
Install the child restraint system.
#
The entire base of the child restraint system
must always rest on the sitting surface of the
front passenger seat.
Always make sure that the shoulder belt
#
strap is correctly routed from the seat belt
outlet of the vehicle to the shoulder belt
guide on the child restraint system.
The shoulder belt strap must be routed for‐
wards and downwards from the seat belt out‐
let.
If necessary, adjust the seat belt outlet and
#
the front passenger seat accordingly.
