Fitting the ISOFIX or i‑Size child restraint
system on the rear seat
& WARNING Risk of injury if the rear
bench seat/rear seat and seat backrest
are not engaged
If the rear bench seat/rear seat and seat
backrest are not engaged they could fold for‐
wards, e.g. when braking suddenly or in the
event of an accident.
If this is the case, the vehicle occupant
R
would be forced into the seat belt by the
rear bench seat/rear seat or by the seat
backrest. The seat belt cannot protect as
intended and could result in additional
injury.
Objects or loads in the boot/load com‐
R
partment cannot be restrained by the
seat backrest.
Make sure that the seat backrest and
#
the rear bench seat/rear seat are
engaged before every trip.
If the left and right seat backrests are not
engaged and locked in place, this will be shown
on the multifunction display of the instrument
cluster.
If the centre seat backrest is not engaged and
locked in place, the red lock verification indica‐
tor will be visible.
& WARNING ‑Risk of injury or death if the
permissible gross mass of the child and
child restraint system is exceeded
For ISOFIX or i‑Size child restraint systems in
which the child is secured using the seat belt
integrated in the child restraint system, the
permissible gross mass of the child and child
restraint system is 33 kg.
If the child and the child restraint system
together weigh more than 33 kg, the ISOFIX
or i‑Size child restraint system with integra‐
ted seat belt does not offer sufficient protec‐
tion. Too much load may be placed on the
ISOFIX or i‑Size child restraint systems and
the child may not be restrained correctly in
the event of an accident, for example.
Occupant safety
If the child and the child restraint sys‐
#
tem together weigh more than 33 kg,
use only an ISOFIX or i‑Size child
restraint system with which the child is
secured 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 fitting 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.
