Example: approval label on the child restraint system
"Universal" category child restraint systems can be recognised by their orange approval label
and the text "Universal".
"Universal" category child restraint systems can be used on the seats indicated with U, UF or
IUF according to the tables "Suitability of the seats for attaching belted child restraint systems"
or "Suitability of the seats for attaching an ISOFIX child restraint system".
Semi-universal child restraint systems are indicated by the text "semi-universal" on the
approval label. These can be used if the vehicle and the seat are listed in the child restraint
1 If you use a baby car seat of category 0 or 0+ or a rearward-facing child restraint system of category I on a
rear seat, you must adjust the driver's or front-passenger seat so that the seat does not touch the rearward-
facing child restraint.
3 Move the front-passenger seat as far back as possible. If you secure a child in a forward-facing child restraint
system on the front-passenger seat, ensure that the shoulder belt strap from the belt outlet on the vehicle
is routed towards the front to the shoulder belt guide on the child restraint system. Set the belt height
adjustment so that the belt strap is routed towards the front along the bottom. Move the front-passenger
seat to the highest position and move the backrest to an almost vertical position. When doing so, ensure
that the complete surface of the child restraint system rests against the backrest of the front-passenger seat
and that the child restraint system does not touch the roof. To do so, you may have to adjust the backrest
down a little. For seats with electrical adjustment, the seat cushion angle must be set to the highest and
most upright position.
4 For certain child restraint systems in this weight category, this can mean that the area of use is restricted
as the maximum size setting of the child restraint system is not possible due to possible contact with the
roof.
