Fitting an ISOFIX child restraint system on
the rear seat
& WARNING Risk of injury or death if the
permissible gross mass of the child and
child restraint system together is excee‐
ded.
Too much load may be placed on the ISOFIX
child restraint system and the child may not
be restrained correctly in the event of an
accident, for example.
If the child and the child restraint sys‐
#
tem together weigh more than the per‐
missible gross mass of 33 kg , only use
an ISOFIX child restraint system with
which the child is secured with the vehi‐
cle seat belt.
Also secure the child restraint system
#
with the Top Tether belt, if available.
Always comply with the information about the
mass of the child restraint system:
in the manufacturer's installation and operat‐
R
ing instructions for the child restraint system
used
on a label on the child restraint system, if
R
available
Check regularly that the permissible gross mass
of the child plus the child restraint system is not
exceeded.

O Always observe the manufacturer's installa‐
tion and operating instructions for the child
restraint system used.
O Make sure that the child's feet do not touch
the front seat. If necessary, move the front

®When fitting an ISOFIX child restraint sys‐
tem, also observe the following:
O When using a Group 0/0+ baby car seat
and a Group 1 rearward-facing child
restraint system on a rear seat: adjust the
front seat so that the seat does not touch
the child restraint system.
O Move the rear seat backrest to an upright
position before you fit the child seat. Do not
adjust the seat backrest when an ISOFIX
child restraint system is fitted.
O For certain child restraint systems in weight
group 2 or 3, there may be restrictions on
the maximum size setting, e.g. due to possi‐
ble contact with the roof.
O Do not put the child restraint system under
strain between the roof and the sitting sur‐
face and/or fit it facing the wrong direction.
