backrest of the front-passenger seat. The
child restraint system must not touch the

Suitability of the seats for attaching
belt-secured child restraint systems
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 sys-
tem.
If you use a forward-facing child restraint sys-
tem from category I, you must, where possi-
ble, dismantle the head restraint of the
respective seat ( page 122). The backrest of
Y
the child restraint system must, as far as pos-
sible, lie flat against the backrest of the seat.
Always observe the notes in the "Child
restraint system" section (
child restraint system manufacturer's instal-
lation instructions.
When you remove the child restraint system,
you must immediately replace the head
restraint ( page 121). All vehicle occupants
Y
must adjust their head restraints correctly
before beginning the journey.
