the largest possible distance between the child seat and the front passenger front
airbag.
• Move the backrest to the upright position.
• Move the seat belt height adjuster to the highest position.
• Use only child seats that have been approved by the child seat manufacturer for use on
a front passenger seat with front and side airbags.

• Always read and follow the installation instructions and warning information provided
by the child seat manufacturer.
