The right place for children
Safety information
Warning
Unattended children or animals in the vehicle
can cause the vehicle to move and endanger
themselves and traffic, for instance due to the
following actions:
▷ Pressing the Start/Stop button.
▷ Releasing the parking brake.
▷ Opening and closing the doors or win‐
dows.
▷ Engaging selector lever position N.
▷ Using vehicle equipment.
There is a risk of accidents or injuries. Do not
leave children or animals unattended in the ve‐
hicle. Take the vehicle key with you when exit‐
ing and lock the vehicle.
Warning
A heated vehicle may result in death to per‐
sons, especially children, or animals. There is a
risk of injury or danger to life. Do not leave per‐
sons, especially children, or animals unattended
in the vehicle.
Warning
Exposure to intense sunlight can cause child
restraint systems and their components to be‐
come very hot. Persons may sustain burn inju‐
ries when touching the hot components. There
is a risk of injury. Do not expose the child re‐
straint system to direct sunlight or cover where
necessary. If necessary, let the child restraint
system cool down before transporting a child.
Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle.
Transport children in the rear
seat
General information
Accident research shows that the safest place
for children is in the rear seat.
Children younger than 13 years of age or shorter
than 5 ft/150 cm should be transported in the
rear seat in suitable child restraint systems de‐
signed for the age, weight and size of the child.
Children 13 years of age or older must wear a
safety belt as soon as a suitable child restraint
system can no longer be used due to their age,
weight, or size.
