WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
incorrect positioning of the forward-
facing child restraint system
If you secure a child in a forward-facing child
restraint system on the front passenger seat
that is positioned too close to the cockpit, in
the event of an accident, the child could:
R
come into contact with the vehicle inte‐
rior if the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indi‐
cator lamp is lit, for example
R
be struck by the airbag if the PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp is off.
#
Always move the front passenger seat
as far back as possible and fully retract
the seat cushion length adjustment.
While doing so, always make sure that
the shoulder belt strap is correctly
routed from the seat belt outlet of the
vehicle to the shoulder belt guide on
the child restraint system. The shoulder
belt strap must be routed forwards and
downwards from the seat belt outlet. If
necessary, adjust the seat belt outlet
and the front passenger seat accord‐
ingly.
#
Always comply with the child restraint
system manufacturer's installation
instructions.
When fitting a child restraint system to the front
passenger seat, observe the vehicle-specific
information (
/
page 68).
If a person is sitting on the front passenger
seat: PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF may be lit con‐
tinuously or be off, depending on the person's
stature.
A person on the front passenger seat must
always observe the following information:
R
If the front passenger seat is occupied by an
adult or a person with a stature correspond‐
ing to that of an adult, the PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF indicator lamp must be off. This
indicates that the front passenger airbag is
enabled.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp is lit continuously, an adult or person
with a build corresponding to that of an adult
must not use the front passenger seat.
Instead, they should use a rear seat.
R
If the front passenger seat is occupied by a
person of smaller stature (e.g. a teenager or
small adult), the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp is either lit continuously or
remains off, depending on the classification.
-
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp is off: move the front passenger
seat as far back as possible, or the per‐
son of smaller stature should use a rear
seat.
