Transporting children safely

Child seat


Introduction
To reduce the risk of injury in an accident, children should only be transported
in child seats!
Please refer to the instructions in this Owner's Manual and the child seat man-
ufacturer's instructions with regard to the installation and use of the child seat.
For safety reasons, we recommend that you always transport children on the
rear seats. Only transport a child on the passenger seat in exceptional circum-
stances.
Child seats complying with the ECE-R 44 Economic Commission for Europe
standard must be used.
Child seats that comply with the ECE-R 44 standard are identified with a test
mark that cannot be removed: a large E within a circle with the test number
below.
WARNING
One should never carry children, and also not babies! - on one's lap.
■
When leaving the vehicle, do not leave children unattended in the vehicle.
■
Children might not be capable of leaving the vehicle or helping themselves
independently in the event of an emergency. Danger to life at very high or
very low temperatures!
The child must be secured in the vehicle during the entire journey! Other-
■
wise, the child would be thrown through the vehicle in the event of an acci-
dent, causing fatal injuries to both the child and 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
vehicle is moving. This particularly applies to children who are transported
on the front passenger seat as they can suffer severe, or even fatal injuries
if the airbag system is deployed!
Pay particular attention to the information provided by the manufacturer
■
of the child safety seat regarding the correct routing of the belt. Seat belts
which are not correctly adjusted can themselves cause injuries even in mi-
nor accidents.
