WARNING
If you secure a child in a forward-facing
child restraint system on the front-
passenger seat and you position the
front-passenger seat too close to the
dashboard, in the event of an accident,
the child could:
come into contact with the vehicle's
R
interior if the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp is lit, for example
be struck by the airbag if the
R
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp
is on.
This poses an increased risk of injury or
even fatal injury.
Move the front-passenger seat as far
back as possible. Always make sure that
the shoulder belt strap is correctly routed
from the vehicle belt outlet to the shoul-
der belt guide on the child restraint sys-
tem. The shoulder belt strap must be
routed forwards and downwards from the
vehicle belt outlet. If necessary, adjust
the front-passenger seat accordingly.
Additionally, always observe the infor-
mation on suitable positioning of the
child restraint system in this Owner's
Manual in addition to the child restraint
system manufacturer's installation
instructions.
