& WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
objects between the seat surface and the
child restraint system
Objects between the seat surface and the
child restraint system can interfere with the
function of the automatic front passenger air
bag shutoff.
Do not place any objects between the
#
seat surface and the child restraint sys-
tem.
Make sure that the entire base of the
#
child restraint system rests on the seat
cushion of the front passenger seat.
The backrest of a forward-facing child
#
restraint system must, as far as possible,
be resting against the seat backrest of
the front passenger seat.
Always comply with the installation
#
instructions from the child restraint sys-
tem manufacturer.
When installing a child restraint system on the
front passenger seat, observe the vehicle-specific
information ( page 58).

when using a rearward-facing child
restraint system while the co-driver airbag

off, the co-driver airbag can deploy in the
event of an accident.
The child could be struck by the airbag.
Always ensure that the co-driver airbag is
#
disabled. The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp must be lit.
NEVER use a rearward-facing child
#
restraint system on a seat with an ENA-
BLED FRONT AIRBAG; DEATH or SERI-
OUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.
