General information
When attaching child restraint systems to
the upper attachment points, observe the
specifications and the operating and safety
information of the child restraint system
manufacturer.
Safety information
Warning
If the upper retaining strap is incorrectly
used for the child restraint system, the
protective effect is reduced. There is a risk
of injury. Ensure that the upper retaining
strap is guided to the upper attachment
point without twisting and not over sharp
edges.
Warning
If the rear seat backrest is not locked, the
protective effect of the child restraint sys-
tem is limited or nonexistant. In certain
situations, for instance braking maneuvers
or in case of an accident, the rear seat
backrest can fold forward. There is a risk
of injury or danger to life. Make sure that
the rear seat backrests are locked.
Warning
The mounts for the lower anchors and
attachment points of the child restraint
system are intended for attaching child re-
straint systems only. If other objects are
attached, the mounts or attachment points
can be damaged. There is a risk of injury
or risk of damage to property. Only attach
child restraint systems at the correspond-
ing mounts for the lower anchors or at-
tachment points.
