Securing the child restraint system with the seat
belt
The seat belts on the following seats are equipped
with a child seat safety feature:
R
Front passenger seat
R
Rear seats
When enabled, the child seat safety feature
ensures that the seat belts of the front passenger
seat and rear seats do not slacken once the child
restraint system is secured.
#
For a child restraint system in the "Universal"
or "Semi-Universal" category, make sure that
the system has been approved for the vehicle
seat.
#
Install the child restraint system.
The entire base of the child restraint system
must always rest on the sitting surface of the
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 from the seat belt outlet and, where
possible, downwards to the child restraint sys-
tem.
#
When installing on the rear seat: also secure
Top Tether if present.
#
When installing on the front passenger seat: if
necessary, adjust the seat belt outlet and the
front passenger seat accordingly.
