Child restraints

Child restraint systems
When a child restraint system is being
used, pay attention to the following
usage and installation instructions
and also those supplied with the child
restraint system.
Always comply with local or national
regulations. In some countries, the
use of child restraint systems is
forbidden on certain seats.
9 Warning
When using a child restraint
system on the front passenger
seat, the airbag systems for the
front passenger seat must be
deactivated; if not, the triggering of
the airbags poses a risk of fatal
injury to the child.
This is especially the case if rear-
facing child restraint systems are
used on the front passenger seat.
Seats, restraints
Selecting the right system
Children should travel facing
rearwards in the vehicle, until as old
as possible. It is approp'riate to
change the system when the child's
head can no longer be properly
supported at eye height. The childs
cervical vertebrae are still very weak
and in an accident they suffer less
stress in the semi-prone rearward
position than when sitting upright.
Children under 12 years or under 150
cm (59 inches) tall should only travel
in an appropriate child restraint
system.
When transporting children, use the
child restraint systems suitable for the
child's weight.
Ensure that the child restraint system
to be installed is compatible with the
vehicle type.
Ensure that the mounting location of
the child restraint system within the
vehicle is correct.
Only allow children to enter and exit
the vehicle at the side facing away
from the traffic.
