The protective effect of child restraint systems
and their fastening systems which have been
damaged or exposed to an accident can be lim‐
ited or lost. A child cannot be properly re‐
strained in the event of an accident, braking or

danger to life.
Do not use child restraint systems which have
been damaged or exposed to an accident.
If a child restraint system and its fastening sys‐
tem has been damaged or exposed to an acci‐
dent, have these systems checked and re‐
placed by the dealer's service center or another
qualified service center or repair shop.

The stability of the child restraint system is lim‐
ited or compromised with incorrect seat setting
or improper installation of the child seat. There
is a risk of injury or danger to life. Make sure
that the child restraint system fits securely
against the backrest. If possible, adjust the
backrest tilt for all affected backrests and cor‐
rectly adjust the seats. Make sure that seats
and backrests are securely engaged or locked.
If possible, adjust the height of the head re‐
straints or remove them.
