WARNING (Continued)
● Children should also never stand up in a vehicle or kneel on the seats
when the vehicle is moving. In the event of an accident the child will be
thrown through the vehicle and may as a result suffer fatal injuries, and also
injure other occupants.
● Children are exposed to an increased risk of injury in the event of an acci-
dent if they lean forward or adopt an incorrect seated position when the vehi-
cle is moving. This particularly applies to children who are transported on the
front passenger seat if the airbag system deploys in the event of an accident.
This can result in severe or even fatal injuries.
● It is important that the belt webbing is properly routed if the seat belts are
to offer their maximum protection ⇒ p age 74, How are seat belts correctly fas-
tened?. Pay particular attention to the information provided by the manufac-
turer of the child safety seat regarding correct routing of the belt. Seat belts
which are not correctly adjusted can themselves cause injuries even in minor
accidents.
● Safety belts must be checked to ensure that they are running properly.
One should also ensure that the belt is not damaged by sharp-edged fittings.
● It is essential to always switch off the front passenger airbag when attach-
ing a child safety seat to the front passenger seat where the child is seated

juries if the front passenger airbag is deployed. When transporting a child on
the front passenger seat, please comply with the appropriate national regula-
tions regarding the use of child safety seats.

following warnings in connection with the use of the airbag system on the front

senger seat in which the child is seated with its back facing the direction of

in the event of it being deployed.
