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 sys‐
tem, 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 sys‐
tem.
O
When using a forward-facing child
restraint system: remove the head
restraint from the respective seat, if possi‐
ble. 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 restraints again
immediately and adjust them correctly.

Securing Top Tether
&
WARNING Risk of injury or death if the
rear seat backrests are not locked after
Top Tether belts are fitted
The rear seat backrests may fold forwards
when you are driving.
As a result, child restraint systems will no
longer be able to perform their intended pro‐
tective function. This may also cause addi‐
tional injuries.
#
Always lock rear seat backrests after
fitting Top Tether belts.
