Securing child seats

Ways to secure a child seat
A child seat can be secured differently on the rear seat and on
the front passenger seat.
You can secure a child seat to the rear seat or front passenger seat in the
following ways:
•
Child seats in groups 0 to 3 can be secured with a seat belt.
•
Group 0, 0+ and 1 child seats with the "ISOFIX" system can be secured to
the "ISOFIX" retaining rings. In this case, seat belts are not necessary.

WARNING
•
When travelling, children must be secured in the vehicle with a
restraint system suitable for age, weight and size.
•
Never install a child seat facing backwards (or rear-facing) on the front
passenger seat unless the front passenger airbag has been disabled. This
could cause fatal injuries to the child! However, if it is necessary, in excep-
tional cases, to transport a child in the front passenger seat, the front
passenger airbag must always be disabled ⇒ page 43, "Deactivating
airbags*" and move the seat to its highest position, in case it has this
adjustment.
