Installing an ISOFIX/LATCH child restraint system
& WARNING Risk of accident if the rear
bench seat, rear seat and seat backrest
are not engaged
The rear bench seat, rear seat and seat back-
rest may fold forwards, even when you are
driving.
As a result, the vehicle occupant will be
R
pushed into the seat belt with increased
force. The seat belt will not be able to pro-
tect as intended and could cause addi-
tional injury.
Objects or loads in the trunk or cargo
R
compartment will not be restrained by the
seat backrest.
Make sure that the rear bench seat, the
#
rear seat and the seat backrest are
engaged before every trip.
If the left and right seat backrests are not
engaged and locked in place, this will be shown
on the instrument display. A warning tone will also
sound.
If the center seat backrest is not engaged and
locked in place, the red lock verification indicator
will be visible.
& WARNING Risk of injury or death if the
permissible gross mass of the child and
child restraint system together is excee-
ded.
Too much load may be placed on the LATCH-
type (ISOFIX) or iSize child restraint systems
and the child may not be restrained correctly
in the event of an accident, for example.
If the child is secured in a LATCH-type
#
(ISOFIX) child restraint system with inte-
grated seat belt, the total mass of the
child and child restraint system must not
exceed 73 lb (33 kg).
Always comply with the information about the
mass of the child:
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
available
