Warning notice on the front passenger sun visor
Always observe the status of the front passenger
front airbag on the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp:
When using a rearward-facing child restraint
R
system on the front passenger seat, the front
passenger front airbag must always be disa‐
bled. This is only the case if the PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp is lit continu‐
ously ( page 43).

If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
R
lamp is off, the front passenger front airbag
is enabled. The front passenger front airbag

Securing the child restraint system with the
seat belt on the front passenger seat
When installing a belt-secured child restraint
system on the front passenger seat, always
observe the following:
O Observe the child restraint system manufac‐
turer's installation and operating instruc‐
tions.
O When using a forward-facing child restraint
system in Group I: remove the head
restraint from the respective seat, if possi‐
ble.
When you remove the child restraint sys‐
tem, install the head restraint again immedi‐
ately and adjust all the head restraints cor‐
rectly.
O The backrest of the forward-facing child
restraint system must lie as flat as possible
against the backrest of the front passenger
seat.
O For certain child restraint systems in weight
group II or III, there may be restrictions in
the maximum size setting, e.g. due to possi‐
ble 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 installed facing the
wrong direction. Adjust the seat backrest
inclination accordingly.
O The child restraint system must not be put
under strain by the head restraints. Adjust
the head restraints accordingly.
O Never place objects under or behind the
child restraint system, e.g. cushions.
The seat belt on the front passenger side is
equipped with a special seatbelt retractor.
When activated, the special seatbelt retractor
ensures that the seat belt does not slacken once
the child restraint system is secured
( page 53).
