systems have been damaged or subjected to
stresses in an accident, their protective func‐
tion may be limited or may fail completely. A

evasive manoeuvres. There is a danger of injury
or even death.
Child restraint systems that are damaged or
have been subjected to stresses in an accident
must not be used further.
If attachment systems have been damaged or
subjected to stresses in an accident, have them
checked and replaced by a Service Partner of
the manufacturer, another qualified Service
Partner or a specialist workshop.

Carrying children safely
If the seat is not adjusted properly or the child
seat has been installed incorrectly, the child re‐
straint system may have limited stability or may
not be stable at all. There is a danger of injury
or even death. Make sure that the child re‐
straint system rests firmly against the backrest.
Wherever possible, adapt the backrest angle of
all the relevant seat backrests and adjust the
seats correctly. Make sure that the seats and
their backrests are correctly engaged or locked.
If possible, adjust the height of the head re‐
straints, or remove them.
