Securing the child restraint system with the seat
belt
▌Securing a child restraint system on the rear
seat with the seat belt
& 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 seat backrest in the rear passenger com-
partment is not engaged and locked in place, the
red lock verification indicator will be visible.
When installing a belt-secured child restraint sys-
tem, observe the following:
O Always comply with the manufacturer's
installation and operating instructions for the
child restraint system used.
O Also secure Top Tether if present
( page 64).

O When using a baby car seat in weight group
0/0+ and a rearward-facing child restraint
system in weight group 1 on a rear seat:
adjust the front seat so that the seat does
not touch the child restraint system.
O When using a forward-facing child restraint
system in weight group 1 : remove the head
restraint from the respective seat, if possible.
After the child restraint system has been
removed, replace the head restraint immedi-
ately and adjust all head restraints correctly.
O The backrest of a forward-facing child
restraint system must, as far as possible, be
resting on the seat backrest of the rear seat.
O If the head restraint of the child seat cannot
be fully extended when it is installed in the
vehicle, this will result in restrictions on the
maximum size setting for child restraint sys-
tems in weight group 2 or 3.
Contact with the roof when the head
restraint is fully extended and locked in place
will not result in any restrictions on use.
O 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.
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.
