WARNING
If you secure a child on the co-driver's seat in
a rearward-facing child restraint system and
the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp
lights up, the co-driver's airbag could be
deployed in the event of an accident. The child
could be struck by the airbag. There is an
increased risk of injury, possibly even fatal.
In this case, always ensure that the co-driver's
airbag is disabled. The PASSENGER AIRBAG
OFF indicator lamp must light up.
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.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp is
lit, the front-passenger front airbag is enabled
(
page 40).

Vehicles without the automatic front-
passenger front airbag deactivation
system
Children in the vehicle
If the front-passenger seat of your vehicle is not
equipped with the automatic front-passenger
front airbag deactivation system, this is indica-
ted by a special sticker. The sticker is affixed to
the side of the dashboard on the front-
passenger side. The sticker is visible when you
open the front-passenger door.
In this case, never fit a rearward-facing child
restraint system on the front passenger seat
(
page 58).

Observe the following information under "Rear-
ward-facing child restraint system" and
"Forward-facing child restraint system" as well
as information on the suitable positioning of the
child restraint system (
Rearward-facing child restraint system
If you secure a child in a rearward-facing child
restraint system on the front-passenger seat,
always make sure that the front-passenger front
airbag is disabled. Only if the PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF indicator lamp is lit continuously
(
page 40) is the front-passenger front airbag
Y
disabled.
Always observe the information on suitable
positioning of the child restraint system
(
page 58) in addition to the child restraint
Y
system manufacturer's installation and operat-
ing instructions.
Forward-facing child restraint system
If you secure a child in a forward-facing child
restraint system on the front-passenger seat,
always move the front-passenger seat as far
back as possible. Fully retract the seat cushion
length. The entire base of the child restraint sys-
tem must always rest on the seat cushion of the
front-passenger seat. The backrest of the child
restraint system must, as far as possible, lie flat
against the backrest of the front-passenger
seat. The child restraint system must not touch
the roof or be put under strain by the head
restraint. Adjust the angle of the seat backrest
and the head restraint position accordingly.
Always make sure that the shoulder belt strap is
correctly routed from the front-passenger seat
belt guide to the shoulder belt guide on the child
restraint system. The shoulder belt strap must
be routed forwards and downwards from the
front-passenger seat belt guide. If necessary,
adjust the front-passenger seat accordingly.
