the front passenger seat that cannot be deacti‐
vated:
It is recommended not to use any kind of
child restraint system in the front pas‐
senger’s seat.

Do not use a rearward facing child restraint
on a seat protected by an airbag in front of it.◀

front passenger's seat
Deactivating airbags
Before fitting a child restraint in the front pas‐
senger's seat, make sure that the front and side
airbags on the passenger's side are disabled.
Deactivating the front passenger airbags with
key switch, see page
94 .
Deactivating the front passenger airbags
If you fit a child restraint system in the front
passenger’s seat, the front passenger airbags
must be deactivated, otherwise a child travelling
on that seat will face an increased risk of injury
if the airbags are deployed, even if a child re‐
straint system is used.◀
Seat position and height
Before mounting a universal child restraint,
bring the front passenger's seat to the rearmost
and the uppermost position to achieve the best
possible routing of the belt and protection in the
event of an accident.
Do not change this seat position and height.
Backrest width
With adjustable backrest width: before fitting a
child restraint system in the front passenger’s
seat, fully open the backrest width. Do not
change the backrest width from this point on
and do not call up a memory position.
Backrest width for child’s seat
Before fitting a child restraint system in the
front passenger’s seat, the backrest width must
be fully open. Do not change the setting while
the child restraint system is fitted, as otherwise
the stability of the child’s seat will be restric‐
ted.◀

lowable for road use in Australia at the time of
