Occupant safety
& WARNING Risk of injury or death if the
permissible gross mass of the child and
child restraint system is exceeded.
Too much load may be placed on the ISOFIX
or i‑Size child restraint systems 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 33 kg,
use only an ISOFIX or i‑Size child
restraint system that secures the child
using 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
present
Regularly check that the permissible gross mass
of the child and child restraint system is still
complied with.
When fitting a child restraint system, observe
the following:
O Always observe the correct use of the seats
and consider their suitability for attaching a
child restraint system.

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 slightly forwards.
®When fitting an ISOFIX child restraint sys‐
tem, also observe the following:
O When using a Group 0/0+ baby car seat
and a Group 1 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 Group 1 forward-facing
child restraint system: remove the head
restraint from the respective seat, if possi‐
ble. In addition, the backrest of the child
restraint system must lie as flat as possible
against the backrest of the vehicle seat.
After the child restraint system has been
removed, replace the head restraint immedi‐
ately and adjust all head restraints cor‐
rectly.
O For certain child restraint systems in weight
group 2 or 3, there may be restrictions on
the maximum size setting, e.g. due to possi‐
ble contact with the roof.
O The child restraint system must not be ten‐
sioned between the roof and the seat cush‐
ion and/or be fitted facing the wrong direc‐
tion. Where possible, adjust the seat cush‐
ion inclination accordingly.
