Objects or loads in the trunk/cargo com‐
R
partment cannot be restrained by the
seat backrest.
Make sure that the seat backrest and
#
the rear bench seat/rear seat are
engaged before every trip.
If the left and right seat backrests are not
engaged and locked in place, this will be shown
on the multifunction display on the instrument
cluster.
If the center seat backrest is not engaged and
locked in place, the red lock verification indica‐

& WARNING Risk of injury or death if the
permissible gross mass of the child and
child restraint system is exceeded
For LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint sys‐
tems in which the child is secured using the
integrated seat belt in the child restraint sys‐
tem, the permissible gross mass of the child
and child restraint system is 73 lb (33 kg).
If the child and the child restraint system
together weigh more than 73 lb (33 kg), the
LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint system
with integrated seat belt does not offer suffi‐
cient protection. An excessive load may be
placed on the LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child seat
attachments and the child may not be
restrained in the event of an accident, for
example.
If the child and the child restraint sys‐
#
tem together weigh more than 73 lb
(33 kg), use only a LATCH-type (ISOFIX)
child restraint system that secures the
child with the vehicle seat belt.
Also secure the child restraint system
#
with the Top Tether belt, if available.
Always comply with the information about the
mass of the child restraint system:
in the manufacturer's installation and operat‐
R
ing instructions for the child restraint system
used
on a label on the child restraint system, if
R
present
Occupant safety
Regularly check that the permissible gross mass
of the child and child restraint system is still
complied 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 come
into contact with the front seat. If neces‐
sary, move the front seat forward slightly.
® When installing a LATCH-type (ISOFIX)
child restraint system, also observe the follow‐
ing:
O When using a Group 0/0+ baby car seat
and a Group 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.
