Safety information
Warning
The safety belt cannot be fastened cor-
rectly on children shorter than 5 ft,
150 cm without suitable additional child
restraint systems. The efficacy of safety
gear, including safety belts, can be limited
or lost when safety belts are fastened in-
correctly. An incorrectly fastened safety
belt can cause additional injuries, for in-
stance in the event of an accident, braking
or evasive maneuvers. There is a risk of in-
juries or danger to life. Secure children
shorter than 5 ft, 150 cm using suitable
child restraint systems.
Children on the front passenger
seat
General information
Before using a child restraint system on the
front passenger seat, ensure that the front,
knee, and side airbags on the front passen-
ger side are deactivated. For automatic de-
activation of front-seat passenger airbags,
refer to page 143 .
Safety information
Warning
Active front-seat passenger airbags can in-
jure a child in a child restraint system
when the airbags are activated. There is a
risk of injury. Make sure that the front-
seat passenger airbags are deactivated and
that the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indica-
tor light lights up.
Warning
The stability of the child restraint system
is limited or compromised with incorrect
seat adjustment or improper installation of
the child seat. There is a risk of injuries or
danger to life. Make sure that the child re-
straint system fits securely against the
backrest. If possible, adjust the backrest
tilt for all affected backrests and correctly
adjust the seats. Make sure that seats and
backrests are securely engaged or locked.
If possible, adjust the height of the head
restraints or remove them.
Installing child restraint sys-
tems

child restraint system manufacturer when
selecting, installing, and using child re-
straint systems.
In order to facilitate the installation of a
back-facing child restraint system in the
rear:
Move the front passenger seat as far up as
possible before folding down the backrest.
Safety information
Warning
The protective effect of child restraint sys-
tems and their fastening systems which
