●
Universal: child seats with universal approval
can be installed in all vehicles. There is no need
to consult any list of models. In the case of
universal approval for ISOFIX, the child seat is
additionally provided with a Top Tether belt.
●
Semi-universal: semi-universal approval, in
addition to the standard requirements of uni-
versal approval, requires safety devices to lock
the child seat, which require additional test-
ing. Child seats with semi-universal approval
include a list of vehicle models for which they
can be installed.
●
Vehicle-specic: vehicle-specic approval
requires a dynamic test of the child seat for
each vehicle model separately. Child seats with
vehicle-specic approval also include a list of
vehicle models for which they can be installed.
●
i-Size: child seats with i-Size approval must
meet the requirements prescribed in the ECE-
R 129 standard in relation to installation and
safety. Child seat manufacturers can tell you
which seats have i-Size approval for this vehi-
cle.

Warnings about tting a child seat
Take the following general warnings into ac-
count if you are going to t a child seat. They
are valid for all child seats regardless of their
attachment system.
●
Please read and follow the child seat manu-
facturer's operating instructions.
●
The child seat should preferably be tted to
the rear seat behind the front passenger seat
so that the child can exit the vehicle on the
pavement side.
●
Set the height of the seat belt such that
it adapts to the child seat naturally, without
twisting. The lowest position of the seat belt
height regulator must be used with rear-facing
child seats.
●
To correctly use a child seat in the back, the
front backrest must be adjusted so that there
is no contact with the child seat in the back in
the case that it goes opposite to the direction
of the car. In the case of front facing restraint
systems, the front backrest must be adjusted
so that there is no contact with the child's feet.
●
For a correct assembly of the child's seat on
the rear seats, adjust or dismount the head-
rest, in order to prevent contact with the seat.
●
If a semi-universal type chair is to be instal-
led, in which the method of attachment to
the car is through the seat belt and support
bracket, it should never be installed in the cen-
tral rear seat as the ground clearance is lower
