SELECTING THE RIGHT
SYSTEM
The rear seats are the most convenient
location to fasten a child restraint
system.
Children should travel facing rearwards
in the vehicle as long as possible. This
makes sure that the child's backbone,
which is still very weak, is under less
when child’s weight is below 13 kg and
the child is under 15 months old.
Suitable are child restraint systems that
comply with valid UN ECE regulations.
Check local laws and regulations
for mandatory use of child restraint
systems.
Ensure that the child restraint system
to be installed is compatible with the
vehicle type.
Child seat at the front: Adjust the front
passenger seat to the highest and
fully back longitudinal position with the
backrest straightened.
Child seat at the rear: Move the
vehicle's front seat forward and
straighten the backrest so that the legs
of the child in the "forward facing” or
the "rearward facing" child seat do not
touch the vehicle's front seat.
In case of any interference of Child
restraint system with vehicle seat
head rest, adjust or remove the
corresponding vehicle seat Head rest.
Do not use forward facing child
restraints system when child's weight is
below 13 kg at all seats.
Please follow Child restraint
manufacturers instructions to install
corresponding child restraints in
vehicle.
For semi-universal or vehicle specific
child restraint system (ISOFIX or belted
child restraint system), see the vehicle
list provided in the user manual of the
child restraint system.
Ensure that the mounting location of
the child restraint system within the
vehicle is correct, see following table.
Allow children to enter and exit the
vehicle only on the side facing away
from the traffic.
When the child restraint system is not
in use, secure the seat with a seat belt
or remove it from the vehicle.
WARNING Do not affix anything on
the child restraint systems and do not
cover them with any other materials. A
child restraint system which has been
subjected to stress in an accident must
be replaced.
