Deactivate the front passenger front
airbag if you want to install a child seat
on the front passenger seat. If the front
passenger front airbag cannot be deac-
tivated, you must not use rear-facing
child seats.

In order to establish the maximum pos-
sible distance from the front passenger
front airbag, move the front passenger
seat as far back as possible and adjust
to the highest position.

Move the backrest to the upright posi-
tion.

on another rear seat, if possible.
Securing systems
Please refer to at the start of the
chapt
er on page 61.
Dierent countries use dierent securing
systems for safely fitting child seats in the
vehicle.
Overview of securing systems
— ISOFIX: ISOFIX is a standardised secur-
ing system for fitting child seats in the
vehicle quickly and safely. The ISOFIX at-
tachment system creates a rigid connec-
tion between the child seat and the vehi-
cle body.
The child seat has two rigid attachment
arms. The attachment arms engage in ISO-
FIX attachment points, which can be loca-
ted between the seat and the rear seat
backrest. The ISOFIX securing system as
described here is specific to the EU
→ page 66. A top tether or a support foot
may sometimes have to be used in addition
to the ISOFIX anchor points described
above.
