WARNING
Child restraint systems or their securing
systems that have been damaged or subjec-
ted to a load in an accident cannot perform
their intended protective function. In the
event of an accident, sharp braking or a
sudden change in direction, the child may
not be held securely. There is an increased
risk of serious or even fatal injuries.
Immediately replace child restraint sys-
tems that have been damaged or subjected to
a load in an accident. Have the child
restraint securing systems checked in a
qualified specialist workshop before fit-
ting a child restraint system again.
Securing systems for child restraint systems
include:
R
the seat belt system
R
the ISOFIX securing rings
R
the Top Tether anchorages

If you install a child restraint system on

information on "Child restraint systems on

G
WARNING
ISOFIX child restraint systems do not offer
sufficient protective effect for children
whose weight is greater than 22 kg who are
secured using the safety belt integrated in
the child restraint system. The child could,
for example, not be restrained correctly in
the event of an accident. This poses an
increased risk of injury or even fatal
injury.
If the child weighs more than 22 kg, only use
ISOFIX child restraint systems with which
the child is also secured with the vehicle
seat belt. Also secure the child restraint
system with the Top Tether belt, if availa-
ble.
When fitting a child restraint system, be sure
to observe the manufacturer's installation
instructions and the instructions for correct
use of the child restraint system
(
Y
page 47).
Before every trip, make sure that the ISOFIX
child restraint system is engaged correctly
in both ISOFIX securing rings.

seat belts in the vehicle. When fitting a child
restraint system, be sure to observe the man-
ufacturer's installation and operating
instructions and the instructions for correct
use of the child restraint system
(

system on the front-passenger seat whereby
