▌ Securing the child restraint system with the seat
belt on the rear seat
When fitting a belt-secured child restraint system,
observe the following:
O
Always observe the manufacturer's installa-
tion and operating instructions for the child
restraint system used.
O
For a child restraint system in the "Universal"
or "Semi-Universal" category, make sure that
the system has been approved for the vehicle
seat.
Observe the notes under "Suitability of seats
for attaching belt-secured child restraint sys-
tems" (
/
page 45).
O
When using a baby car seat in weight cate-
gory 0/0+ and a rearward-facing child
restraint system in weight category I on a
rear seat: adjust the front seat so that the
seat does not touch the child restraint sys-
tem.
O
When using a forward-facing child restraint
system in weight category I: remove the head
restraint from the respective seat, if possible.
After the child restraint system has been
removed, replace the head restraint immedi-
ately and adjust all head restraints correctly.
O
The backrest of the forward-facing child
restraint system must, as far as possible, be
resting on the seat backrest of the rear seat.
O
For certain child restraint systems in weight
category II or III, there may be restrictions on
the maximum size setting, e.g. due to possible
contact with the roof.
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.
O
Make sure that the child's feet do not touch
the front seat. If necessary, move the front
seat slightly forwards.
#
Install the child restraint system.
The entire base of the child restraint system
must always rest on the sitting surface of the
rear seat.
#
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 for-
wards and downwards from the seat belt out-
let.

lock, the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF and

an indication of the automatic co-driver airbag
shutoff.
