G Risk of injury
To reduce the risk of serious or even fatal
injury to the child in the event of a sudden
change in direction, braking or an accident:
The shoulder belt section of the seat belt
R
must be routed across the middle of the
child's shoulder – never across the
child's neck – and be pulled tight against
the child's chest. The lap section of the
seat belt must be routed across the
child's pelvis – not across the abdomen
– and be pulled tight against the child's
body; retighten the belt strap if neces-
sary.
Never secure more than one child at a
R
time in the child restraint system.
The belt must be routed through the
R
hook.
The belt strap must not be trapped or
R
twisted, nor rub against any sharp edges.

door cannot be opened from the inside. The
door can be opened from the outside if the
vehicle is unlocked.

If children are travelling in the vehicle, acti-
vate the child-proof locks for the rear doors
and the override switch for the rear win-
dows. The children could otherwise open
the doors or windows while the vehicle is in
motion and injure themselves or others.
