Safety information
WARNING
If child restraint systems and their attach-
ment systems have been damaged or sub-
jected to stresses in an accident, their pro-
tective effect may be restricted or may fail
completely. A child might not be adequately
restrained, for example in the event of an
accident, braking or avoidance manoeuvre.
There is a danger of injury or danger to life.
Do not continue to use child restraint systems
which are damaged or have been subjected
to stresses in an accident.
If attachment systems have been damaged
or subjected to stresses in an accident, have
them checked and replaced by a Service
Partner of the manufacturer, another quali-
fied Service Partner or a specialist workshop.
WARNING
If the seat is not set properly or the child
seat has been installed incorrectly, the child
restraint system may have restricted or no
stability at all. There is a danger of injury
or danger to life. Make sure that the child
restraint system rests firmly against the seat
backrest. Wherever possible, adapt the back-
rest angle of all relevant seat backrests and
adjust the seats correctly. Make sure that
the seats and their backrests are correctly
engaged or locked. If possible and if neces-
sary, adjust the height of the head restraints
or remove them.
