WARNING
Persons less than 150 cm, 5 ft in height
cannot put on the seat belt correctly without
using additional restraint systems. The protec‐
tive effect of the seat belts can be restricted or
they can be rendered ineffective if put on in‐
correctly. If a seat belt is not worn correctly,
additional injuries can be caused, for example
in the event of an accident or braking and eva‐
sive manoeuvres. Danger of injury or life. Per‐
sons less then 150 cm, 5 ft must be secured in
suitable restraint systems.◀
Accident research has shown that the safest
place for children is on the rear seat.
Children younger than 12 years old or less
than 150 cm, 5 ft in height are only allowed to
be transported in the rear using child restraint
systems appropriate for their age, weight and
stature.
