Activating child seat protection
– Attach the child safety seat with the three-point seat belt as
stated in the instructions of the manufacturer of the child seat.
– Now, pull the shoulder part of the belt out fully.
– Insert the tongue of the lock into the seat belt buckle belonging
to the seat until it is heard to lock in place.
– Reel up the belt webbing until it is fitted snugly against the
child seat. When the belt is reeled up, this can be detected by
a “clicking” noise.
– Pull on the belt in order to check that it is no longer possible to
pull out the webbing. The child seat protection is now switched
on.
Deactivating child seat protection
– Press the red button on the seat belt buckle. The tongue of the
lock jumps out of the buckle as a result of the spring force
when this is done.
– Guide the belt back with your hand to enable the inertia reel to
wind up the belt webbing more easily. The child safety lock is
deactivated after the full reeling up of the belt.
WARNING
It is essential to always switch off ⇒ page 154 the airbag (airbags)
when attaching a child safety seat on the front passenger seat
where the child is seated with its back facing in direction of travel
(in some countries also when the child is facing the direction of
travel). If this is not done, there is a risk of the child suffering
severe or even fatal injuries if the front passenger airbag is
deployed. In certain countries national legal provisions also
require that the side or head passenger airbags be deactivated.
When transporting a child on the front passenger seat, please
comply with the appropriate national regulations regarding the use
of child safety seats.
