Child safety seats in Group 3
For children of about 7 years of age weighing between 22 and 36 kg and of a height of
less than 150 cm, the optimal solution is a child safety seat (seat bolster) in combina-
tion with the three-point seat belt fig. 167.
Children of more than 150 cm in height may use the seat belts fitted to the vehicle
without a seat bolster.
When transporting a child on the front passenger seat, please comply with
the appropriate national regulations regarding the use of child safety seats. If
required, the airbag has to be deactivated:
in a specialist garage
or by using the switch for the front passenger airbag* page 178,
“Switch for the front passenger airbag*”.
The shoulder part of the seat belt must run approximately across the middle
of the shoulder and fit snugly against the chest. It must on no account run
across the neck. The lap part of the seat belt must run across the pelvis and fits
snugly; it must not run over the belly. Tighten the belt webbing over your hip if
necessary.
Please comply with any differing national legal regulations regarding the
use of child safety seats.
