Installing a LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child
restraint system on the rear seat
& WARNING Risk of injury or death if the
permissible gross mass of the child and
child restraint system together is excee‐
ded.
Too much load may be placed on the LATCH-
type (ISOFIX) child restraint system and the
child may not be restrained correctly in the
event of an accident, for example.
If the child and the child restraint sys‐
#
tem together weigh more than the per‐
missible gross mass of 73 lb (33 kg ),
only use a LATCH-type (ISOFIX) 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
available
Check regularly that the permissible gross mass
of the child plus the child restraint system is not
exceeded.
When you install a child restraint system, observe
the following:
O Always observe the correct use and suitabil‐
ity of the seats for attaching a child restraint
system.
O Always observe the manufacturer's installa‐
tion and operating instructions for the child
restraint system used.
O Make sure that the child's feet do not touch
the front seat. If necessary, move the front
seat slightly forwards.
Occupant safety
® When installing a LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child
restraint system, also observe the following:
O When using a Group 0/0+ baby car seat
and a Group I rearward-facing child
restraint system on a rear seat: adjust the
front seat so that the seat does not touch
the child restraint system.
O Move the rear seat backrest to an upright
position before you install the child seat. Do
not adjust the seat backrest when a LATCH-
type (ISOFIX) child restraint system is instal‐
led.
O For certain child restraint systems in weight
Group II or III, there may be restrictions on
the maximum size setting, e.g. due to possi‐
ble contact with the roof.
O Do not put the child restraint system under
strain between the roof and the sitting sur‐
face and/or install it facing the wrong direc‐
tion.
O Do not put the child restraint system under
strain by the head restraint. Adjust the head
restraints as appropriate.
