the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp
is illuminated.
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, as
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
change the backrest width from this point on and
do not call up a memory position.
