We recommend the following child
restraint systems which are tailored
specifically to the vehicle:
.

children from 15kg up to 36kg.
When a child restraint system is
being used, pay attention to the
following usage and installation
instructions and also those supplied
with the child restraint system.
Always comply with local or national
regulations. In some countries, the
use of child restraint systems is
forbidden on certain seats.

Danger

restraint system on the front
passenger seat, the airbag
system for the front passenger
seat must be deactivated. This
also applies to certain
forward-facing child restraint
systems as indicated in the
tables.

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 ensures that the
child's backbone, which is still very
weak, is under less strain in the
event of an accident.
Suitable are 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.
Ensure that the mounting location of
the child restraint system within the
vehicle is correct, see following
tables.
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.
Note
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.
