s
Make sure that the child's feet do not touch
t
he front seat. If necessary, move the front
seat slightly forwards.
® When Ntting an ISOFIX c
hild restraint sys-

s When using a baby car seat in weight group
0/0+ and a r

s When using a forward-facing child restraint
sy

restraint from the respective seat, if possible.
In addition, the backrest of the child restraint
system must lie as Oat as possible against
the backrest of the vehicle seat.
Aser the child restraint system has been
removed, replace the head restraint immedi-
ately and adjust all head restraints correctly.
s When using a child restraint system on a
seat on t
he third row of seats: adjust the
front seat so that it does not touch the child
restraint system and move the seat backrest of the front seat into an upright position if

be full

vehicle, this will result in restrictions on the
maximum size setting for child restraint sys-

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
