● The child restraint system must be ap-
propriate to the age, weight and size of
the child.
Statistics show that it is usually safer to
install the child restraint system in a sec-
ond row seat than in the front passenger
seat. It is recommended to install the child
restraint system to the second row seat.
A child restraint system is, for example:
● A rearward-facing child seat
● A forward-facing child seat
● A child booster seat with a backrest and
seat belt guides
Observe laws and regulations
Always observe the local legal require-
ments for using a child restraint system in
the vehicle.

Detecting risks, avoiding dangers
Securing systems for child restraint
systems in the vehicle
Only use the following securing systems
for the child restraint systems:
● ISOFIX/i-Size fixing point
● The vehicle's seat belt system
● TOP TETHER anchorages
When the child is secured using the safety
belt integrated in the ISOFIX/i-Size child
restraint system, observe the maximum
permissible weight of the child and child
restraint system together.
The advantage of a rearward-facing child
restraint system
Toddlers or infants should preferably trav-
el in a suitable rearward-facing child re-
straint system, so that they are seated in
the opposite direction of travel and facing
backward.
Babies and infants have comparatively
poorly developed neck muscles and a rear-
ward-facing child restraint system can re-
duce the risk of injury to the cervical spine
in an accident.
Secure the child restraint system
correctly at all times
WARNING Risk of injury or death
caused by incorrect installation of
the child restraint system
If the child restraint system is incor-
rectly installed on a suitable seating po-
sition, it cannot perform its intended
protective function.
The child cannot be restrained in the
event of an accident, heavy braking or a
sudden change of direction.
► Always observe the installation in-
structions and operation manual
provided by the manufacturer for
the child restraint system being
used.
► Make sure that the entire base of
the child restraint system always
rests on the sitting surface of the
seat.
► Never place objects, such as cush-
ions, under or behind the child re-
straint system.
