restraint system must lie as flat as possible
against the backrest of the front-passenger

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 ten‐
sioned between the roof and the seat cush‐
ion and/or be installed facing the wrong
direction.
O
The child restraint system must not be put
under strain by the head restraints. Adjust
the head restraints accordingly.

Never place objects under or behind the
child restraint system, e.g. cushions.
The seat belt on the front passenger side is
equipped with a special seat belt retractor.
