WARNING
In general, the rear seat is always the safest
place for correctly belted in children in the
event of an accident.
A suitable child seat that is correctly instal-
●
led and used on one of the rear seats offer
the most protection possible for babies and
small children in most accidents.
WARNING
Unbuckling the seat belt while the vehicle is
in motion can cause severe or fatal injuries in
the event of an accident or sudden braking.
● The seat belt must not be unfastened until
the vehicle has come to a standstill.
Note
Other accessories may be required to fit the
child retention system with a base or foot se-
curity and safely. Contact a technical service
centre or specialised workshop.
