Children in the vehicle – Securing the child restraint system
® When installing an ISOFIX/LATCH child
restraint system, also observe the following:
When using a rearward-facing child restraint
#
system on a rear seat: adjust the front seat so
that it does not touch the child restraint sys-
tem.
When using a forward-facing child restraint
#
system with integrated child seat belt: adjust
the head restraint of the respective seat so
that it does not push the child restraint system
forwards. If necessary, the respective head
restraint can be removed. In addition, the
backrest of the child restraint system must lie
as flat as possible against the backrest of the
vehicle seat. After the child restraint system
has been removed, replace the vehicle head
restraint immediately and adjust correctly.
The child restraint system must not be put
#
under strain between the roof and seat cush-
ion and/or be installed facing the wrong direc-
tion. Where possible, adjust the seat cushion
inclination accordingly.
Adjust the vehicle head restraints so that the
#
child restraint system is not put under strain
by the head restraint.

backrest of the child restraint system must lie
as flat as possible against the backrest of the
vehicle seat. After the child restraint system
has been removed, replace the vehicle head
restraint immediately and adjust correctly.
The backrest of the forward-facing child
#
restraint system must be resting as flat as
possible on the seat backrest of the rear seat.
The child restraint system must not be put

under strain between the roof and seat cush-
ion and/or be installed facing the wrong direc-
tion. Where possible, adjust the seat cushion
