DANGER
If the roll bar has developed a malfunction, it
may not function, e.g. in the event of an acci-
dent. The roll bars may then not protect the
vehicle occupants as intended. This poses an
increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Have roll bars checked immediately at a quali-
fied specialist workshop.

Make sure there is nothing between the seat cushion and the child
X
seat.
Make sure that the entire base of the child restraint system rests on

the seat cushion of the front-passenger seat. The backrest of the
forward-facing child restraint system must lie as flat as possible
against the backrest of the front-passenger seat. If necessary,
adjust the position of the front-passenger seat.
Make sure that the seat cushion length is fully retracted.

WARNING
If you place objects or clothing on the roll bar
covers, these could impair roll bar extension.
The roll bars may then not protect the vehicle
occupants as intended. In addition, objects
could endanger the vehicle occupants when
the roll bar is extending. This poses an
increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Ensure that the movement area of the roll bar
covers is kept clear. Always stow all objects in
the vehicle correctly.
