Securing a child seat using the seat belt
— Observe the instructions → page 59.
— Set the seat belt height so that the seat
belt routing follows a natural line and is
adjusted to the child seat without turning
back on itself. For rear-facing child seats,
use the lowest position of the belt height
adjuster.
— Fasten the seat belt and guide it through
the child seat as described in the child seat
manufacturer's instructions.
— Ensure that the seat belt is not twisted.
— Insert the latch plate into the buckle for
the appropriate seat and push it down un-
til it audibly engages.
Child seats with the approval category “semi-
universal” that are secured using a seat belt
and support foot must not be fitted on the
middle seat of the rear bench seat.
If a child seat of Group 2/3 with backrest is
used, additionally use the fourth anchorage
point of the child seat for the seat belt. Ob-
serve the instructions for use of the child
seat.
