WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
use of an unsuitable child restraint system
If you attach a child restraint system using a
seat belt equipped with a belt air bag, the belt
air bag may damage the child restraint system
in the event of an accident or the belt air bag
itself can be damaged.
#
Always secure a child restraint system
with an integrated harness system with
ISOFIX.
#
Also secure Top Tether if present.
#
Never secure a child restraint system
with a seat belt equipped with a belt air
bag.
#
Instead, mount the child restraint system
e.g. on the front passenger seat.
If the front passenger seat is occupied, ensure
that the status of the front passenger air bag is
correct for the current situation (

page 50).
Observe the information on the function of the
automatic front passenger air bag shut off
(

Pull out the seat belt completely and hold it.
The seat belt tongue is now at the more nar-
row part of the seat belt strap.
