Warning notice on the front passenger sun visor
Always observe the status of the front passenger
front airbag on the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp:
If it is absolutely necessary to fit a child
R
restraint system to the front passenger seat,
always observe the information on automatic
front passenger front airbag shutoff
(
page 40).
→
When using a rearward-facing child restraint
R
system on the front passenger seat, the front
passenger front airbag must always be disa‐
bled. This is only the case if the PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp is lit continu‐
ously (
page 42).
→
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
R
lamp is off, the front passenger front airbag
is enabled. The front passenger front airbag
may deploy during an accident.
Securing the child restraint system with the
seat belt on the front passenger seat
When fitting a belt-secured child restraint sys‐
tem on the front passenger seat, always observe
the following:
O Observe the child restraint system manufac‐
turer's installation and operating instruc‐
tions.
O For a child restraint system in the "Univer‐
sal" or "Semi-Universal" category, make
sure that the system has been approved for
the vehicle seat.
Observe the notes under "Suitability of
seats for attaching belt-secured child
restraint systems" (
page 63).
→
O When using a forward-facing child restraint
system in Group I: remove the head
restraint from the respective seat, if possi‐
ble.
When you remove the child restraint sys‐
tem, install the head restraint again immedi‐
ately and adjust all the head restraints cor‐
rectly.
O The backrest of the forward-facing child
restraint system must, as far as possible, be
resting on the seat backrest of the front
passenger seat.
O For certain child restraint systems in weight
group II or III, there may be restrictions in
the maximum size setting, e.g. due to possi‐
ble contact with the roof.
O The child restraint system must not be put
under strain between the roof and the seat
cushion and/or be fitted facing the wrong
direction. Adjust the seat backrest inclina‐
tion accordingly.
