be used on the seats indicated with U, UF or IUF
according to the tables "Suitability of the seats
for attaching belt-secured child restraint sys-
tems" or "Suitability of the seats for attaching an
ISOFIX child restraint system".
Semi-universal child restraint systems are indi-
cated by the text "Semi-universal" on the
approval label. These can be used if the vehicle
and the seat are listed in the child restraint sys-
tem manufacturer's vehicle model list. For more
information, contact the child restraint system
manufacturer or visit their website.
Child restraint system on the co-driver's
seat – if it is absolutely necessary to secure a
child in a child restraint system on the co-driv-
er's seat:
X Always pay attention to the instructions under
"Child restraint system on the co-driver's
seat" (
Y
page 62).
There you will find instructions on how to cor-
rectly route the shoulder belt strap from the
vehicle belt sash guide to the shoulder belt
guide on the child restraint system
(
Y
page 63).
X
Move the co-driver's seat as far back as pos-
sible.
If you secure a child in a forward-facing child
restraint system on the co-driver's seat, you
must also move the co-driver's seat to the
lowest position.
X
Move the backrest to an almost upright posi-
tion.
The base of the child restraint system must lie
fully on the co-driver's seat cushion. The
backrest of a forwards-facing child restraint
system must, as far as possible, rest on the
backrest of the co-driver's seat.
The child restraint system may not touch the
roof or be put under strain by the head
restraint. Adjust the angle of the seat back-
rest and the head restraint position accord-
ingly. Also observe the child restraint system
manufacturer's installation instructions.
