SAFETY
Check the label of your child restraint. All
approved child restraints must include
type-approval data and the control mark on its
label. The label must be permanently secured
to the child restraint system. You should not
remove this label from the child restraint.
WARNING!
Extreme Hazard! Do not place a rear-facing
child restraint in front of an active air bag.
Refer to visor mounted labels for information.
Deployment of the air bag in an accident
could cause fatal injuries to the baby
regardless of the severity of the collision. It is
advisable to always carry children in a child
restraint system on the rear seat, which is the
most protected position in the event of a
collision.
WARNING!
Should it be necessary to carry a child on the
passenger side front seat in a rear-facing
child restraint system, the passenger side
front airbag and side bag (for versions/mar-
kets, where provided) must be deactivated
through the Setup menu. Deactivation should
be verified by checking whether the warning
light is switched on in the instrument panel.
The passenger seat must also be positioned
backward as far as possible to avoid the child
restraint system from coming into contact
with the dashboard.

restraint system to the vehicle without using
the vehicle's seat belts.
