bench seat, rear seat and seat backrest
are not engaged
The rear bench seat, rear seat and seat back-
r
est may fold forwards, even while the vehicle
is in motion.
= As a result, the vehicle occupant will be
pressed into the seat belt with increased
force. The seat belt will not be able to pro-
tect as intended and could cause addi-
tional injury.
= Objects or loads in the boot or load com-
partment cannot be restrained by the seat
backrest. 
Make sure that the rear bench seat, the
r
ear seat and the seat backrest are
engaged before every trip. If the les
and r
ight seat backrests are not
engaged and locked in place, this will be shown
on the instrument display. If the centre seat backrest is not engaged and
loc

ked in place, the red lock veriNcation indicator
will be visible.

observe the following:
s Always comply with the manufacturer's
ins

tallation and operating instructions for the
child restraint system used.
s For a child restraint system in the "Universal"
or "Semi-U
niversal" category, make sure that
the system has been approved for the vehicle
seat.
Observe the notes under "Suitability of seats
for attaching belt-secured child restraint sys-
tems" ( page 66).
s When using a weight category 0/0+ baby
car seat and a w
eight category I rearward-
facing child restraint system on a rear seat:
adjust the front seat so that the seat does
not touch the child restraint system.
s The backrest of the forward-facing child
r

estraint system must, as far as possible, be
resting on the seat backrest of the rear seat. 68

s
If the head restraint of the child seat cannot
be full
y extended when it is installed in the
vehicle, this will result in restrictions on the
maximum size setting for child restraint sys-
tems in weight category II or III.
Contact with the roof when the head
restraint is fully extended and locked in place
will not result in any restrictions on use.
s The child restraint system must not be put
under s
train between the roof and the seat
cushion and/or be Ntted facing in the wrong
direction. Where possible, adjust the seat
cushion inclination accordingly.
s The child restraint system must not be put
under s
train by the head restraint. Adjust the
head restraints as appropriate.
s Make sure that the child's feet do not touch
t
he front seat. If necessary, move the front
seat slightly forwards. 
Install the child restraint system.
The entir
e base of the child restraint system
must always rest on the seat surface of the
rear seat.

is cor
rectly routed from the seat belt outlet of
