Page: 74 / 581

Regularly check that the permissible gross mass
of the child and child restraint system is still com-
plied with.
When fitting a child restraint system, observe the
following:
O
Always observe the correct use of the seats
and consider their suitability for attaching a
child restraint system.
ISOFIX child seat anchor (
/
page 68)
or
i‑Size child seat anchor (
/
page 70)
O
Always comply with the manufacturer's
installation and operating instructions for the
child restraint system used.
O
Make sure that the child's feet do not touch
the front seat. If necessary, move the front
seat slightly forwards.
® When fitting an ISOFIX child restraint sys-
tem, also observe the following:
O
When using a baby car seat in weight group
0/0+ and a rearward-facing child restraint
system in weight group 1 on a rear seat:
adjust the front seat so that the seat does
not touch the child restraint system.
O
When using a forward-facing child restraint
system in weight group 1: remove the head
restraint from the respective seat, if possible.
In addition, the backrest of the child restraint
system must lie as flat as possible against
the backrest of the vehicle seat.
After the child restraint system has been
removed, replace the head restraint immedi-
ately and adjust all head restraints correctly.
O
If the head restraint of the child seat cannot
be fully extended when it is installed in the
vehicle, this will result in restrictions on the
maximum size setting for child restraint sys-
tems in weight group 2 or 3.
Contact with the roof when the head
restraint is fully extended and locked in place
will not result in any restrictions on use.
O
The child restraint system must not be put
under strain between the roof and the seat
cushion and/or be fitted facing the wrong
direction. Where possible, adjust the seat
cushion inclination accordingly.
O
The child restraint system must not be put
under strain by the head restraint. Adjust the
head restraints as appropriate.
° When fitting an i‑Size child restraint system,
also observe the following:
O
When using a rearward-facing child restraint
system: adjust the front seat so that it does
not touch the child restraint system.
O
When using a forward-facing child restraint
system: remove the head restraint from the
respective seat, if possible. In addition, the
backrest of the child restraint system must
lie as flat as possible against the backrest of
the vehicle seat.
After the child restraint system has been
removed, replace the head restraint immedi-
ately and adjust all head restraints correctly.
#
Before every journey, make sure that the ISO-
FIX child restraint system or the i‑Size child
restraint system is engaged correctly in both
mounting brackets in the vehicle.
