44 Restraint systems and airbags ›
WARNING
When installing the child seat on the rear seat, ad-
▶
just the front seat so that there is no contact be-
tween the front seat and the child seat or the child
carried in the child seat.
Before installing a forward-facing child seat, adjust
▶
the headrest so that it is as low as possible.
If the headrest prevents the child seat from being
▶
fitted, adjust the headrest to the highest position.
When installing the child seat, avoid contact with
▶
the area of the roof and the rear pillar. There is a
risk of injury when the head airbag is deployed.
If using a separate child seat cushion, adjust the
▶
headrest so that the child's head is flush with, but
not protruding above the height of the top edge of
the headrest.
Using a child seat on the front passenger seat
When using a child seat on the passenger seat, any
country-specific regulations must be observed.
Never use a child seat in which the child is carried
with his or her back to the direction of travel on a
seat protected by an active airbag placed in front of
the seat. This could cause serious injury to the child,
even death.
This is also indicated by the following stickers.
Recommended child seats
Grouping of child seats according to standard ECE-R 44.
Child seat
Sticker on the passenger
sun visor.
Stickers on the middle
body pillar on the pas-
senger side.
The following instructions must be followed when
using a child seat on the front passenger seat.
When using a rear-facing child seat, the front pas-
▶
senger airbag must be deactivated.
If possible, adjust the front passenger seat back-
▶
rest so that it is vertical, to ensure that there is se-
cure contact between the backrest and the child
seat.
If possible, move the front passenger seat back-
▶
wards so that there is no contact between the
front passenger seat and the child seat behind it.
Adjust the height-adjustable front passenger seat
▶
as much as possible.
Set the front passenger seat belt as high up as pos-
▶
sible.
WARNING
Risk of the seat belt causing a neck injury to the
transported child!
For child seats in groups 2 and 3, ensure that the
▶
guide fitting attached to the child seat headrest is
positioned in front of or at the same height as the
seat belt height adjuster on the central body pillar.
Adjust the height of the front passenger seat belt
▶
so that the belt passes through the guide fitting
without kinking and is not bent over the edge of
the guide fitting.
WARNING
As soon as the rear-facing child seat is no longer
▶
being used on the front passenger seat, activate
the front passenger airbag again.
