Selecting the right system The rear seats are the most
convenient location to fasten a child
restraint system.
Children should travel facing
rearwards in the vehicle as long as
possible. This ensures that the child's
backbone, which is still very weak, is
under less strain in the event of an
accident.
Only use suitable restraint systems,
e.g. those that comply with valid
UN ECE regulations.
Ensure that the child restraint system to be installed is compatible with the
vehicle type. Refer to the tables on
the following pages, the instructions
supplied with the child restraint
system and the vehicle type list of
non-universal child restraint systems.
Ensure that the mounting location of
the child restraint system within the
vehicle is correct, see following
tables.
Remove rear head restraint before
mounting a child restraint system if
required.
Allow children to enter and exit the
vehicle only on the side facing away
from the traffic.
When the child restraint system is not in use, secure the seat with a seat belt
or remove it from the vehicle.
Child restraint systems could be
fastened with ISOFIX mounting
brackets, Top-tether if available,
and/or a three-point seat belt. Refer
to the following tables.Note
Do not affix anything on the child
restraint systems and do not cover
them with any other materials.
A child restraint system which has
been subjected to stress in an
accident must be replaced.
