Use Of The Child Safety Seat On The Front Passenger Seat; Safety Of Children And Side Airbag - Skoda BABY-SAFE i-SIZE BASE Fitting Instructions Manual

Use of child safety seat on the front
passenger seat
For safety reasons we recommend that you use the child safety
seat always on the back seats.
If you want to place a child safety seat in which the child sits with
his/her back towards the direction of the drive, you have to follow
the below instructions:
Deactivate the front passenger airbag => Instruction Manual.
Slide the front passenger seat all the way back.
Adjust the backrest of the front passenger seat to vertical position.
Adjust the height adjustable front passenger seat as high as
possible.
Adjust the safety belt of the front passenger seat as high as
possible (does not apply to the child safety seat fastened with the
ISOFIX system).
If you want to place a child safety seat, in which the
child sits with his/her back towards the direction of
the drive, on the front passenger seat, it is absolutely
necessary to deactivate the front passenger airbag.
If the front passenger airbag is active, never use such
child safety seat on the front passenger seat in which
the child sits with his/her back towards the direction
of the drive. This type of car seat is located in an area
which will be hit by the activated front passenger air-
bag. In this case, the airbag can severly or even fatally
harm the child.
This danger is notified also by a sticker that is located
on the middle bodywork column on the front passen-
ger side.
Once you have stopped using the child seat on the
front passenger seat, make sure that the front
passenger air bag is reverted to the fully functional
state.
When using the child seat in which the child is sitting
in the driving direction, the front passenger seat
needs to be in the topmost and rearmost position.
Set the back rest to vertical position. The air bag can
be enabled when the child seat is in this position.

Safety of children and side airbag

A child must not be in the area of the side airbag expansion. A
sufficient free space has to be between the child and the area of
the side airbag location so that the side airbag can provide the best
possible protection.
The child's head may never be in the area of the side
airbag expansion - risk of injury!
Do not put any objects in the area of the side airbag
expansion - risk of injury!
