Child restraint system
installation with universal seat
belts
The figures in the following sections
are examples of different types of child
restraint systems. Typical installations
are shown. Always install your child
restraint system according to the child
restraint manufacturer’s instructions,
which must be included with this type of
restraint system.
Child restraint systems with ISOFIX
anchorages are available for installing
the child restraint system to the vehicle
without using the vehicle’s seat belts.
Group 0 and 0+

Safety experts recommend that children
ride rearward facing in the vehicle as
long as possible. Infants up to 13 kg
must be restrained in a rearward facing
child restraint system as the one shown
in fig. 82. This type of child restraint
supports the child’s head and does not
induce stress on the neck in the event of
sudden decelerations or a collision.
The rearward-facing child restraint is
restrained by the vehicle’s seat belts, as
shown in fig. 82. The child seat restrains
the child with its own harness.

Children weighing between 9 and 18 kg
can be placed on Group 1 child restraint
systems facing the direction of travel, as
shown in fig. 83. This type of restraint
system is for older children who are too
big for a Group 0 or 0+ child restraint
system.
Group 2
84
5520368D
Children who weigh between 15 kg and
25 kg and who are too big for the Group
1 child restraint may use a Group 2 child
restraint system.
As shown in fig. 84, the Group 2 child
restraint system positions the child
correctly with respect to the seat belt so
that the belt strap crosses the child’s
chest and not the neck, and the lap
belt is snug on the pelvis and not the
abdomen.
