Securing the child restraint system with the
seat belt on the rear seat
When fitting a belt-secured child restraint system,
observe the following:
O Always comply with the manufacturer's
installation and operating instructions for the
child restraint system used.
O For a child restraint system in the "Univer‐
sal" or "Semi-Universal" category, make sure
that the system has been approved for the
vehicle seat.
Observe the notes under "Suitability of seats
for attaching belt-secured child restraint sys‐
tems" ( page 45).
/
O When using a category 0/0+ baby car
seat and a category I 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 When using a category I forward-facing
child restraint system: remove the head
restraint from the respective seat, if possi‐
ble.
After the child restraint system has been
removed, replace the head restraint immedi‐
ately and adjust all head restraints correctly.
O The backrest of the forward-facing child
restraint system must, as far as possible, be
resting on the seat backrest of the rear seat.
O For certain child restraint systems in weight
category II or III, there may be restrictions on
the maximum size setting, e.g. due to possi‐
ble contact with the roof.
O The child restraint system must not be put
under strain between the roof and the seat
cushion and/or be fitted facing the wrong
direction. Where possible, adjust the seat
cushion inclination accordingly.
O The child restraint system must not be put
under strain by the head restraint. Adjust the
head restraints as appropriate.
O Make sure that the child's feet do not touch
the front seat. If necessary, move the front
seat slightly forwards.
Install the child restraint system.
#
The entire base of the child restraint system
must always rest on the sitting surface of the
rear seat.
Always make sure that the shoulder belt strap
#
is correctly routed from the seat belt outlet of
the vehicle to the shoulder belt guide on the
child restraint system.
The shoulder belt strap must be routed for‐
wards and downwards from the seat belt out‐
let.
Instructions for vehicles without automatic
co-driver airbag shutoff
The sticker is visible when the co-driver door is
open:
Vehicles without an automatic co-driver airbag
shutoff have a special sticker affixed to the side
of the cockpit on the co-driver side.
If you turn the key to position 2 in the ignition
lock, the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF and
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamps light up
briefly. However, they have no function and are
not an indication of the automatic co-driver air‐
bag shutoff.
