Follow the note on the sun visor on the passeng‐
er's side.
Never use a rearward-facing child restraint on a
seat protected by an active front airbag, as death
or serious injury to the child can occur.

Seat position and height

After installing a universal child restraint system,
move the front passenger seat as far back as it
will go and adjust it to the highest position. This
seat position and height provides the best possi‐
ble belt routing and protection in the event of an
accident.
If the upper attachment point of the seat belt is in
front of the child seat's seat belt guide, carefully
move the front passenger seat forwards until the
best possible seat belt guide is achieved.
Backrest width
With adjustable backrest width: before fitting a
child restraint system on the front passenger
seat, fully open the backrest width. Do not
change the backrest width from this point on and
do not retrieve a seat position from the memory.
