When driving with children
In the rear compartment, do not allow
children travelling in child seats to lean
out towards the door trim, as serious injuries
could occur if the side airbags were to be trig-
gered.<
Child safety catches in rear doors
Push down the locking lever on the rear doors:
The door in question can now only be opened
from the outside.
Safety switches for electric windows
and rear seats
With electric rear seats, adjust the basic posi-
tion prior to using a child restraint system, see
page 43.
Press the safety switch for the power windows,
see page 38, when children are seated in the
rear seat.
The safety switch also prevents the electric rear
seats from being adjusted.
Avoid uncontrolled adjusting of the elec-
tric rear seats, otherwise it can result in
injury or damage to the child restraint system.<
