Please observe the warning notice on the
front-passenger sun visor, see the illustra-
tion. G
WARNING
If you secure a child on the co-driver's seat in a rearward-facing child restraint system and
the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp
lights up, the co-driver's airbag could be
deployed in the event of an accident. The childcould be struck by the airbag. There is an
increased risk of injury, possibly even fatal.
In this case, always ensure that the co-driver's
airbag is disabled. The PASSENGER AIRBAG
OFF indicator lamp must light up.
NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint
on a seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in
front of it; DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the
CHILD can occur.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp
is lit, the front-passenger front airbag is ena-
bled (Y page 48). Vehicles without the automatic front-
passenger front airbag deactivation
system If the front-passenger seat of your vehicle is
not equipped with the automatic front-
passenger front airbag deactivation system,
this is indicated by a special sticker. The
sticker is affixed to the side of the dashboard
on the front-passenger side. The sticker is
visible when you open the front-passenger
door.
Always fit the rearward-facing restraint sys-
tem to a suitable rear seat in this case
(Y page 71).
Observe the following information under
"Rearward-facing child restraint system" and
"Forward-facing child restraint system" as
well as information on the suitable position-
ing of the child restraint system
(Y page 71).
Rearward-facing child restraint system If it is absolutely necessary to fit a rearward-
facing child restraint system to the front-
passenger seat, always make sure that the
front-passenger front airbag is disabled. Only
if the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp is lit continuously (Y page 48)is the
front-passenger front airbag disabled.
Always observe the information on suitable
positioning of the child restraint system
(Y page 71) in addition to the child restraint
system manufacturer's installation and oper-
ating instructions. 70
Children in the vehicleSafety

Forward-facing child restraint system
If it is absolutely necessary to fit a forward-
facing child restraint system to the front-
passenger seat, always move the front-
passenger seat as far back as possible. Fully
retract the seat cushion length. The entire
base of the child restraint system must
always rest on the seat cushion of the front-
passenger seat. The backrest of the child
restraint system must, as far as possible, lie
flat against the backrest of the front-
passenger seat. The child restraint system
must not touch the roof or be put under strain
by the head restraint. Adjust the angle of the
seat backrest and the head restraint position accordingly. Always make sure that the shoul-
der belt strap is correctly routed from the
vehicle belt outlet to the shoulder belt guide
on the child restraint system. The shoulder
belt strap must be routed forwards and down- wards from the vehicle belt outlet. If neces-
sary, adjust the vehicle belt outlet and the
front-passenger seat accordingly.
Always observe the information on suitable
positioning of the child restraint system
(Y page 71) in addition to the child restraint
system manufacturer's installation and oper-
ating instructions. Suitable positioning of the child
restraint system
Introduction Only child restraint systems approved in
accordance with the ECE standards ECE R44
or ECE R129 (i-Size child restraint systems)
are permitted for use in the vehicle.
For certain child restraint systems in weight
categories II or III, this can mean that the area
of use is restricted. The maximum size setting of the child restraint system is not possible
due to possible contact with the roof.
"Universal" category child restraint systems
can be recognised by their orange approval label and the text "Universal" or an "i-Size"
label.
Example: approval labels on the child
restraint system
ISOFIX or i-Size child restraint systems of the
“Universal“ category can be used on seats
labelled U, UF, IUF or i-U in accordance with
the following tables:
R Suitability of the seats for attaching belt-
secured child restraint systems
R Suitability of the seats for attaching ISOFIX
child restraint systems
R Suitability of the seats for attaching an i-
Size child restraint system.
Semi-universal child restraint systems are
indicated by the text "semi-universal" on the
approval label. These can be used if the vehi- cle and the seat are listed in the child restraint
system manufacturer's vehicle model list. For more information, contact the child restraint
system manufacturer or visit their website. Children in the vehicle

If it is absolutely necessary to fit a child
restraint system to the front-passenger seat:

as possible and fully retract the seat cush-
ion length.
X Move the backrest to an almost vertical

The entire base of the child restraint sys-
tem must always rest on the seat cushion of the front-passenger seat. The backrest of
the forward-facing child restraint system
must, as far as possible, be resting on the
backrest of the front-passenger seat. The
child restraint system must not touch the
roof or be put under strain by the head
restraint. Adjust the angle of the seat back- rest and the head restraint position accord-
ingly. Also observe the child restraint sys-
tem manufacturer's installation instruc-
tions.
