WARNING
If the child restraint system is fitted
incorrectly or is not secured, it can come
loose in the event of an accident, heavy
braking or a sudden change in direction.
The
child
restraint system could be thrown
about, striking vehicle occupants. There is
an increased risk of injury, possibly even
fatal.
Always fit child restraint systems prop-
erly, even if they are not being used. Make
sure that you observe the child restraint
system manufacturer's installation
instructions.

WARNING
Child restraint systems or their securing
systems that have been damaged or subjec-
ted
to
a load in an accident cannot perform
their intended protective function. In the
event of an accident, sharp braking or a
sudden change in direction, the child may
not be held securely. There is an increased
risk of serious or even fatal injuries.
Immediately replace child restraint sys-
tems that have been damaged or subjected to
a load in an accident. Have the child
restraint securing systems checked in a
qualified specialist workshop before fit-
ting a child restraint system again.

WARNING
ISOFIX child restraint systems do not offer
sufficient protective effect for children
whose weight is greater than 22 kg
who are
secured
using the safety belt integrated in
the child restraint system. The child could,
for example, not be restrained correctly in
the event of an accident. This poses an
increased risk of injury or even fatal
injury.
If the child weighs more than 22 kg, only use
ISOFIX child restraint systems with which
the child is also secured with the vehicle
seat belt. Also secure the child restraint
system with the Top Tether belt, if availa-
ble.
When fitting a child restraint system, be sure
to observe the manufacturer's installation
instructions and the instructions for correct
use of the child restraint system.
ISOFIX is a standardised securing system for
specially designed restraint systems. ISOFIX
child restraint systems are approved in
accordance with ECE R44.
Only child restraint systems that comply with
the ECE R44 standard may be attached to the
ISOFIX securing rings.
