Occupant safety
Securing the child restraint system with the
seat belt on the front passenger seat
When installing a belt-secured child restraint
system on the front passenger seat, always
observe the following:
O Observe the child restraint system manufac‐
turer's installation and operating instruc‐
tions.
O The backrest of the forward-facing child
restraint system must lie as flat as possible
against the backrest of the front-passenger
seat.
O For certain child restraint systems in weight
category II or III, there may be restrictions
on the maximum size setting, e.g. due to
possible 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 installed facing the wrong
direction.
O The child restraint system must not be put
under strain by the head restraints. Adjust
the head restraints accordingly.
O Never place objects under or behind the
child restraint system, e.g. cushions.
The seat belt on the front passenger side is
equipped with a special seat belt retractor.
When enabled, the special seat belt retractor
function ensures that the seat belt does not
slacken once the child restraint system is
secured ( page 48).
/
Set the front passenger seat as far back as
#
possible and move the seat into the highest
position if possible.
Set the seat backrest to the most vertical
#
position possible.
Install the child restraint system.
#
The entire base of the child restraint system
must always rest on the seat cushion of the
front-passenger seat.
Always make sure that the shoulder belt
#
strap is correctly routed from the seat belt
outlet of the vehicle to the shoulder belt
guide on the child restraint system.
The shoulder belt strap must be routed for‐
wards and downwards from the seat belt out‐
let.
If necessary, adjust the front passenger seat
#
accordingly.
