When installing a belt-secured child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat, always observe
the following:
O Observe the notes on rearward-facing and
forward-facing child restraint systems on the
front passenger seat ( page 60).
/
O Observe the child restraint system manufac-
turer's installation and operating instructions.
O When using a forward-facing child restraint
system in weight group 1: remove the head
restraint from the respective seat, if possible.
A er the child restraint system has been
removed, replace the head restraint immedi-
ately and adjust all head restraints correctly.
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 If the head restraint of the child seat cannot
be fully extended when it is installed in the
vehicle, this will result in restrictions on the
he seat maximum size setting for child restraint sys-
tems in weight group 2 or 3.
Contact with the roof when the head
restraint is fully extended and locked in place
will not result in any restrictions on use.
O The child restraint system must not be put
under strain between the roof and the seat
cushion and/or be installed facing the wrong
direction.
O The child restraint system must not be put
under strain by the head restraint. Adjust the
head restraints as appropriate.
O Never place objects (e.g. cushions) under or
behind the child restraint system.
The seat belt on the front passenger side is equip-
ped with a child seat safety feature.
When enabled, the child seat safety feature
ensures that the seat belt does not slacken once
the child seat is secured (
