Rearward-facing child restraints
DANGER
Active front passenger airbags can fatally injure
a child in a rearward-facing child restraint sys‐
tem if they are triggered. There is a danger of
injury or even death. Make sure that the front
passenger airbags are deactivated and the
PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is il‐
luminated.
Follow the information on the front passenger
sun visor.
NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint on a
seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of
it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD
can occur.
Seat position and height
Before installing a universal child restraint sys‐
tem, move the front passenger seat as far back
as it will go and adjust to a mid-height position.
This seat position and height achieves the best
possible routing of the belt and protection in the
event of an accident.
If the upper attachment point of the seat belt is
located ahead of the child seat's belt guide, care‐
fully move the front passenger seat forwards until
the best possible belt guidance is achieved.
Backrest width
With adjustable backrest width: before fitting a
child restraint system on the front passenger
seat, fully open the backrest width. Do not
