restrained in the event of an accident, for
example.
If the child and the child restraint sys‐
#
tem together weigh more than 73 lb
(33 kg), use only a LATCH-type (ISOFIX)
child restraint system that secures the
child with the vehicle seat belt.
Also secure the child restraint system
#
with the Top Tether belt, if available.
Always comply with the information about the
mass of the child restraint system:
In the manufacturer's installation and operat‐
R
ing instructions for the child restraint system
used
On a label on the child restraint system, if
R
present
Regularly check that the permissible gross mass
of the child and child restraint system is still
complied with.
When installing a child restraint system, observe
the following:
O Always observe the correct use of the seats
and consider their suitability for attaching a
child restraint system.
O Always comply with the manufacturer's
installation and operating instructions for
the child restraint system used.
O Make sure that the child's feet do not touch
the front seat. If necessary, move the front
seat slightly forwards.
® When installing a LATCH-type (ISOFIX)
child restraint system, also observe the follow‐
ing:
O When using a Group 0/0+ baby car seat
and a Group I rearward-facing child
restraint system on a rear seat: adjust
the front seat so that the seat does not
touch the child restraint system.
O When using a Group I forward-facing
child restraint system: the backrest of the
child restraint system must, as far as possi‐
ble, lie flat against the backrest of the vehi‐
cle seat.
O For certain child restraint systems in weight
group II or III, there may be restrictions on
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. Where possible, adjust the
seat cushion inclination accordingly.
O The child restraint system must not be put
under strain by the head restraint. Adjust
the head restraints accordingly.
