restraint system on the front passenger seat
that is positioned too close to the cockpit, in
the event of an accident, the child could:
come into contact with parts of the vehi-
R
cle's interior if the PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF indicator lamp is lit, for example
be struck by the airbag if the PASSENGER
R
AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp is off
Always move the front passenger seat as
#
far back as possible and fully retract the
seat cushion length adjustment. While
doing so, 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 forwards and downwards
from the seat belt outlet. If necessary,
adjust the front passenger seat accord-
ingly.
Always comply with the child restraint
#
system manufacturer's installation
instructions.

R
adult or a person with a stature corresponding
to that of an adult, the PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF indicator lamp must be off. This indicates
