Fitting child restraint systems
General
Please comply with the operating and safety in‐
structions provided by the child restraint system
manufacturer when selecting, attaching and us‐
ing child restraint systems.
Safety notes
WARNING
If child restraint systems and their attachment
systems have been damaged or subjected to
stresses in an accident, their protective func‐
tion may be limited or may fail completely. A
child might not be adequately restrained, for ex‐
ample in the event of an accident, braking or
evasive action. There is a risk of injury or even
death.
Do not continue to use child restraints which
are damaged or have been subjected to
stresses in an accident.
If attachment systems have been damaged or
subjected to stresses in an accident, have them
checked and replaced by a Service Partner of
the manufacturer, another qualified Service
Partner or a specialist workshop.
WARNING
If the seat is not adjusted properly or the child
seat has been installed incorrectly, the child re‐
straint system may have limited stability or may
not be stable at all. There is a risk of injury or
even death. Make sure that the child restraint
system rests firmly against the backrest. Wher‐
ever possible, adapt the backrest angle of all
the relevant seat backrests and adjust the seats
correctly. Make sure that the seats and their
backrests are correctly engaged or locked. If
possible, adjust the height of the head re‐
straints, or remove them.
