Suitable positioning of the child
restraint system
Introduction
Only child restraint systems which are approved
in accordance with the ECE standard ECE R44
are permitted for use in the vehicle.
"Universal" category child restraint systems can
be recognised by their orange approval label and
the text "Universal".
Example: approval label on the child restraint sys-
tem
"Universal" category child restraint systems can
be used on the seats indicated with U, UF or IUF
in accordance with the "Suitability of the front
passenger seat for attaching belt-secured child
restraint systems" or "Suitability of the front-
passenger seat for attaching an ISOFIX child
restraint system" table.
Semi-universal child restraint systems are indi-
cated by the text "semi-universal" on the
approval label. These can be used if the vehicle
and the seat are listed in the child restraint sys-
tem manufacturer's vehicle model list. For more
information, contact the child restraint system
manufacturer or visit their website.
If you install a child restraint system on the
front-passenger seat:

rectly route the shoulder belt strap from the

system must not touch the roof. Adjust the
backrest angle accordingly. Also observe the
