® When installing an ISOFIX/LATCH child
restraint system, also observe the following:
When using a rearward-facing child restraint
#
system on a rear seat: adjust the front seat so
that it does not touch the child restraint sys-
tem.
When using a forward-facing child restraint
#
system with integrated child seat belt: adjust
the head restraint of the respective seat so
that it does not push the child restraint system
forwards. If necessary, the respective head
restraint can be removed. In addition, the
backrest of the child restraint system must lie
as flat as possible against the backrest of the
vehicle seat. After the child restraint system
has been removed, replace the vehicle head
restraint immediately and adjust it correctly.
The child restraint system must not be put
#
under strain between the roof and the seat
cushion and/or be installed facing the wrong
direction. Where possible, adjust the seat
cushion inclination accordingly.
Adjust the vehicle head restraints so that the
#
child restraint system is not put under strain
by the head restraint.

restraint system, also observe the following:
When using a rearward-facing child restraint
#
system on a rear seat: adjust the front seat so
that it does not touch the child restraint sys-
tem.
