Semi-universal child restraint systems are indi-
cated by the text "semi-universal" on the
approval label. These can be used if the vehicle
and the seat are listed in the child restraint sys-
tem manufacturer's vehicle model list. For fur-
ther information, contact the child restraint sys-
tem manufacturer or visit the manufacturer's
website.

Suitability of the seats for attaching a belt-secured child restraint system
If you use a baby car seat of category 0 or 0+ or a rearward-facing child restraint system of category
I on a rear seat, you must adjust the driver's or front-passenger seat so that the seat does not touch
the child restraint system.
Make sure that the child's feet do not touch the front seat. If necessary, move the front seat forwards
slightly.
For certain child restraint systems in weight categories II or III, this can mean that the area of use
is restricted. The maximum size setting of the child restraint system may not be possible due to
possible contact with the roof.
When the soft top is opened and closed, child restraint systems of weight categories II or III must be
removed or the head restraint of the child restraint system must be set to the lowest position.
You can have the head restraints of the rear seats removed and installed by a qualified specialist
workshop. This may be necessary for the use of certain child restraint systems.
In addition, always observe the notes under "Child restraint system" (
restraint system manufacturer's installation instructions.
