Safety
Objects between the passenger and the
●
›››
passenger side airbag in Front airbags
on page 77.
The passenger side front airbag, when ena-
bled, is a serious risk for a child that is facing
backward since the airbag can strike the seat
with such force that it can cause serious or
fatal injuries. Children up to 12 years old
should always travel on the rear seat.
Therefore we strongly recommend you to
transport children on the rear seats. This is
the safest location in the vehicle. Alternative-
ly, the front passenger airbag can be disa-
bled with a key-operated switch
When transporting children, use a child seat
suitable for the age and size of each child

WARNING
If a child seat is secured to the front pas-
●
senger seat, the risk to the child of sustain-
ing critical or fatal injuries in the event of an
accident increases.
An inflating front passenger airbag can
●
strike the rear-facing child seat and project
it with great force against the door, the roof
or the backrest.
Never install a child seat facing back-
●
wards on the front passenger seat unless
the front passenger front airbag has been
disabled. Risk of potentially fatal injuries to
the child! However, if it is necessary, in ex-
ceptional cases, to transport a child in the
front passenger seat, the front passenger
front airbag must always be disabled

page 79. If the passenger seat has a
height adjustment option, move it to the
highest, most upright position. If you have a
fixed seat, do not install any child restraint
system in this location.
For those vehicles that do not include a
●
key lock switch to deactivate the airbag,

the vehicle must be taken to a technical
service. Do not forget to reconnect the air-
bag when an adult wants to sit in the front
passenger seat.
All vehicle occupants, especially chil-
●
dren, must assume the proper sitting posi-
tion and be properly belted in while travel-
ling.
Never hold children or babies on your lap,
●
this can result in potentially fatal injuries to
the child!
Never allow a child to be transported in a
●
vehicle without being properly secured, or
