Note
On vehicles with power individual rear seats* some criteria must be
observed when attaching the child restraint using the LATCH
system:
•
To attach the child restraint securely, the seat must be moved to
the farthest rear position, the seat height set to the lowest position
and the head restraint must be adjusted to the vertical position
=>
page 97.
•
If a child safety seat is attached to one of the rear seats, this seat
must not be adjusted using the power controls under any circum-
stances. The easy entry function for this seat must also be deacti -
vated in the MMI
=>
page 100. The child safety seat as well as the
rear seat can be damaged by the adjustment
process . •
