WARNING
The driver is responsible for whether the airbag is switched on or switch-
■
ed off.
Only switch off the airbag when the ignition is switched off! Otherwise a
■
fault can occur in the system for deactivating the airbag.

warning lights flash, the front passenger airbag will not
■
be deployed in the event of an accident! Have the airbag system checked
by a specialist garage immediately.
Do not leave the key inserted in the key-operated switch while driving -
■
vibrations can cause the key to turn in the slot and switch on the airbag!
The airbag can be triggered unexpectedly in an accident - it may result in
injury or death!

Child seat
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Use of a child seat on the front passenger seat
Use of the child seat in the front passenger seat
Child safety and side airbag
Classification of child seats
Use of child seats fastened with a seat belt
To avoid serious injury or death children are always to be in an appropriate
child safety seat with regards to height, weight, and age.
For safety reasons, we recommend that you always transport child seats on
the rear seats.
The national legal requirements for transporting children and the use of child
seat must be observed.
Child seats complying with the ECE-R 44 Economic Commission for Europe
standard must be used.
Child seats that comply with the ECE-R 44 standard are identified with a test
mark that cannot be removed: a large E within a circle with the test number
below.
With child safety seats in groups 2 and 3, make sure that the loop-around fit-
tings attached to the child seat headrest is positioned in front of or at the
same height as the loop-around fittings on the B pillar on the passenger side.
WARNING
One should never carry children, and also not babies! - on one's lap.
■
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle. Certain outside climatic
■
conditions can cause life-threatening temperatures in the vehicle.
The child must be secured in the vehicle during the entire journey! Other-
■
wise, the child would be thrown through the vehicle in the event of an acci-
dent, causing fatal injuries to both the child and other occupants.
