front passenger airbag is deactivated and the
PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator light is
illuminated.
Follow the note on the sun visor on the pas-
senger's side.
Never use rearward facing child restraint sys-
tems on a seat with an activated front airbag.
Use may result in death or serious injury to
children.
Seat position and height
After installing a universal child restraint sys-
tem, move the front passenger seat as far
back as it will go and adjust it to the high-
est position. This seat position and height pro-
vides the best possible belt routing and protec-
tion in the event of an accident.
After installing a universal child restraint sys-
tem, adjust the inclination of the seat backrest
to achieve the best possible belt routing.
If the upper attachment point of the seat belt is
in front of the child seat's seat belt guide, care-
fully move the front passenger seat forwards
until the best possible seat belt guide is ach-
ieved.
Backrest width
With adjustable backrest width: before instal-
ling a child restraint system on the front pas-
senger 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.
