Installing a LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint
system on the left and right rear seats
▌Installing a LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint
system on the left and right rear seats
& WARNING Risk of accident if the rear
bench seat, rear seat and seat backrest
are not engaged
The rear bench seat, rear seat and seat back-
rest may fold forwards, even when you are
driving.
As a result, the vehicle occupant will be
R
pushed into the seat belt with increased
force. The seat belt will not be able to pro-
tect as intended and could cause addi-
tional injury.
Objects or loads in the trunk or cargo
R
compartment will not be restrained by the
seat backrest.
Make sure that the rear bench seat, the
#
rear seat and the seat backrest are
engaged before every trip.
If the rear seat backrest is not engaged and
locked in place, the red lock verification indicator
will be visible.
& 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 LATCH-
type (ISOFIX) or iSize child restraint systems
and the child may not be restrained correctly
in the event of an accident, for example.
If the child is secured in a LATCH-type
#
(ISOFIX) child restraint system with inte-
grated seat belt, the total mass of the
child and child restraint system must not
exceed 73 lb (33 kg).
Always comply with the information about the
mass of the child:
In the manufacturer's installation and operat-
R
ing instructions for the child restraint system
used
Occupant safety
On a label on the child restraint system, if
R
present
Regularly check that the permissible gross mass
of the child and child restraint system is still com-
plied with.
When installing a child restraint system, observe
the following:
O Always observe the correct use of the seats
and consider their suitability for attaching a
child restraint system.
O Always comply with the manufacturer's
installation 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
seat slightly forwards.
® When installing a LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child
restraint system, also observe the following:
O When using a baby car seat in weight group
0/0+ and a rearward-facing child restraint
system in weight group I on a rear seat:
