Use of a child seat on the front passenger seat

Read and observe and
Never use a rear-facing child restraint system on a seat which is protected by
an active airbag positioned in front of it. This could cause serious injury to
the child, even death.
The following instructions must be followed when using a child seat on the
front passenger seat.
▶
The front passenger airbag must be deactivated if using a rear-facing child
seat » .
▶
If possible, adjust the front passenger seat backrest so that it is as vertical,
so as to ensure secure contact between the passenger seat backrest and the
back of the child seat.
▶
If possible, move the front passenger seat backwards so that there is no con-
tact between the front passenger seat and the child seat behind it.
▶
Set the height-adjustable front passenger seat as high up as possible.
▶
Set the front passenger seat belt as high up as possible.
▶
When using a child seat where there is a height adjuster in the upper area,
the height of the passenger seat belt is to be set so that the belt is not
"kinked" in the height adjuster. In the event of an accident, the child's neck
may be injured by the seat belt!
