Warning
While using a c hild restra int system on
the front p assenger's seat, the airbag
system s for the front pa ssenger's seat
must be deactivated (see page 51);
if not, the triggering of the front or side
airb ag poses the risk of fata l injury to the
child.
This is espec ially the case if rea rw ard-
fac ing child restra int sy stems are used on
the front p assenger's seat.
Selec ting the rig ht system
Your child should be transported facing
rearwards in the vehicle as long as
possible. It is appropriate to change the
sy stem when the child 's head can no longer
be p roperly supported at ey e height. The
child' s neck area is still very weak and in an
accident they suffer less stress in the semi-
prone rea rw ard position than when sitting
up right.
