O Always comply with the manufacturer's
installation 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 forward slightly.
When fitting an ISOFIX child restraint sys‐
tem, observe the following:
O When using a category 0/0+ baby car
seat and a category 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 When using a category I forward-facing
child restraint system: remove the head
restraint from the respective seat, if possi‐
ble. In addition, the seat backrest of the
child restraint system must, as far as possi‐
ble, lie flat against the backrest of the vehi‐
cle seat.
When you remove the child restraint sys‐
tem, install the head restraint again immedi‐
ately and adjust all the head restraints cor‐
rectly.
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. Where possible, adjust the seat
cushion inclination accordingly.
O The child restraint system must not be put
under strain by the head restraints. Adjust
the head restraints accordingly.
When fitting an i‑Size child restraint sys‐
tem, observe the following:
O When using a rearward-facing child
restraint system: adjust the front seat so
that it does not touch the child restraint sys‐
tem.
O When using a forward-facing child
restraint system: remove the head
restraint from the respective seat, if possi‐
ble. In addition, the seat backrest of the
child restraint system must, as far as possi‐
ble, lie flat against the backrest of the vehi‐
cle seat.
When you remove the child restraint sys‐
tem, install the head restraint again immedi‐
ately and adjust all the head restraints cor‐
rectly.
Before every trip, make sure that the ISOFIX
#
child restraint system or the i‑Size child
restraint system is engaged correctly in both
mounting brackets in the vehicle.
* NOTE Be careful not to damage the seat
belt for the centre seat when fitting the
child restraint system
Make sure that the seat belt is not trap‐
#
ped.
