Travelling safely with children in the vehicle
52
ISOFIX or i‑Size child restraint systems
with integrated seat belt no longer offer
sufficient protection. ISOFIX or i‑Size
child seat securing systems may be over-
loaded and will not be able to restrain the
child, for example, in the event of an
accident. This poses an increased risk of
injury or even fatal injury.
If the child together with the child
restraint system weighs more than 33 kg ,
only use ISOFIX or i-Size child restraint
systems with which the child is secured
with the vehicle seat belt. Also secure the
child restraint system with the Top
Tether belt, if available.
Always observe the information on the
weight of the child restraint system:
in the installation and operating instruc-
R
tions provided by the manufacturer for
the child restraint system being used
on the label of the child restraint system,
R
if present
Regularly check that the maximum permis-
sible weight of the child and child restraint
system together is still complied with.
When fitting a child restraint system, be
sure to observe the following:
O be sure to observe the correct use and

manufacturer for the child restraint
system being used.
When fitting an ISOFIX child
restraint system, also observe the follow-
ing:
O For certain child restraint systems in
weight category II or III, there may be
restrictions on the maximum size set-
ting, e.g. due to possible contact with
the roof.
O The child restraint system must not be
put under strain between the roof and
the seat cushion and/or be fitted facing
the wrong direction.

child restraint system or the i-Size child
restraint system is engaged correctly in
both ISOFIX or i-Size securing rings.

Fit the ISOFIX or i-Size child restraint
system on both securing rings of the
vehicle.
Securing Top Tether
If the child restraint system is
equipped with a Top Tether belt:
Top Tether can reduce the risk of injury.

connection between the child restraint sys-
tem secured with ISOFIX or i-Size and the
vehicle.
