belt
Securing the child restraint system with the seat
When installing a belt-secured child restraint sys-
tem, observe the following:
O
Always observe the manufacturer's installa-
tion and operating instructions for the child
restraint system used.
O
When using a baby car seat in weight cate-
gory 0/0+ and a rearward-facing child
restraint system in weight category I 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 category I: remove the head
restraint from the respective seat, if possible.
After the child restraint system has been
removed, replace the head restraint immedi-
ately and adjust all head restraints correctly.
O
The backrest of the forward-facing child
restraint system must, as far as possible, be
resting on the seat backrest of the rear seat.
O
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 put
under strain between the roof and the seat
cushion and/or be installed 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.
O
Make sure that the child's feet do not touch
the front seat. If necessary, move the front
seat slightly forwards.
The seat belts on the following seats are equipped
with a child seat safety feature:
R
Co-driver seat
R
Rear seats
When activated, the child seat safety feature
ensures that the seat belts of the co-driver seat
and rear seats do not slacken once the child
restraint system is secured (
