Do not leave children unattended in the 
vehicle; otherwise, they could endanger 

themselves and/or other persons by opening 
the doors, for example.

<

The rear center seat is not suitable for installing 
child restraint systems for all age groups, 
approved for the age group in question.

Accident research has shown that the safest 
place for children is on the rear seat.

Children under the age of 13 or smaller 
than 5 ft/150 cm may be transported only 

in the rear in suitable child restraint systems 
appropriate for their age, weight and size. Oth-
erwise, there is an increased risk of injury in the 
event of an accident.

<

Children 13 years of age or older must be buck-
led in with a safety belt as soon as there no 
longer is any child restraint system that is 
appropriate for their age, size and weight.

Should it be necessary to use a child 
restraint system on the front passenger 

seat, the front and side airbags for the front pas-
senger must be deactivated. Otherwise, a child 
traveling on that seat will face a significant risk 
of injury if the airbags are triggered off, even 
with a child restraint system.

<

For more information on automatic deactivation 
of the front passenger airbags refer to page

.

Observe the child restraint system manu-
facturer's instructions when selecting, 

installing and using child restraint systems. 
Otherwise, the protective effect may be dimin-
ished. 

<

Standard child restraint systems are designed 
to be secured with a lap belt or with the lap-belt 
section of a lap-and-shoulder belt. Incorrectly 
or improperly installed child restraint systems 
can increase the risk of injury to children. 
Always follow the installation instructions for 
the system with the greatest care.

After installing a child restraint system on 
the front passenger seat, make sure that 

the front and side airbags for the front passen-
ger are deactivated; otherwise, there is an 
increased risk of injury if the airbags deploy.

<

Before installing a child restraint system, move 
the front passenger seat as far back and up as 
possible to obtain the best possible position for 
the belt. Do not change the seat position after 
this.

The backrest width of the front passenger 
seat must be at its widest possible set-

ting. Do not change the setting after installing 
the child seat. Otherwise, the child seat's stabil-
ity on the front passenger seat is limited.

<

setting, refer to page
