9 Warning
NEVER use a rearward facing
child restraint on a seat protected
by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of
it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to
the CHILD can occur.
9 Warning
When using a child restraint
system on the front passenger
seat, the airbag systems for the
front passenger seat must be
deactivated; if not, the triggering of
the airbags poses a risk of fatal
injury to the child.
This is especially the case if rear-
facing child restraint systems are
used on the front passenger seat.
9 Warning
If the vehicle is equipped with a lap
belt on the rear centre seat, no
child restraint system is allowed on
this seat.
It is advised to mount the child
restraint system only on one of the
rear outer seats of the second seat
row.
Airbag deactivation 3 50.
Selecting the right system
The rear seats are the most
convenient location to fasten a child
restraint system.
Children should travel facing
rearwards in the vehicle as long as
possible. It is appropriate to change
the system when the child's head can
no longer be properly supported at
eye height. This makes sure that the
child's backbone, which is still very
weak, is under less strain in the event
of an accident.
Children under 12 years or under 150
cm tall should only travel in an
appropriate child safety seat.
Check local laws and regulations for
mandatory use of child restraint
systems.
Never carry a child whilst travelling in
the vehicle. The child will become too
heavy to hold in the event of a
collision.
When transporting children, use the
child restraint systems suitable for the
child's weight.
Ensure that the child restraint system
to be installed is compatible with the
vehicle type.
Ensure that the mounting location of
the child restraint system within the
vehicle is correct.
Only allow children to enter and exit
the vehicle at the side facing away
from the traffic.
When the child restraint system is not
in use, secure the seat with a seat belt
or remove it from the vehicle.
