WARNING Risk of injury or death if the
permissible gross mass of the child and
child restraint system together is excee‐
ded.
Too much load may be placed on the ISOFIX
or i‑Size child restraint systems and the child
may not be restrained correctly in the event
of an accident, for example.
#
If the child and the child restraint sys‐
tem together weigh more than 33 kg,
only use an ISOFIX or i‑Size child
restraint system with which the child is
secured with the vehicle seat belt.
#
Also secure the child restraint system
with the Top Tether belt, if available.
Always comply with the information about the
mass of the child restraint system:
R
in the manufacturer's installation and operat‐
ing instructions for the child restraint system
used
R
on a label on the child restraint system, if
present
Regularly check that the permissible gross mass
of the child and child restraint system is still
complied 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.

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 sys‐
tem.
O
When using a forward-facing child
restraint system in weight group 1:
remove the head restraint from the respec‐
tive seat, if possible. In addition, the back‐
rest 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 restraints again
immediately and adjust them 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 category II or III.
Contact with the roof when the head
restraint is fully extended and locked in
place will not result in any restrictions on
use.
