Transporting children safely

The right place for children

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

themselves and other persons, e.g. by opening
the doors.

Children always in the rear

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

Children younger than 13 years of age or
with a height under 5 ft/150 cm may only

be transported in the rear in child restraint sys-
tems which correspond to the age, weight and
height of the child. Otherwise there is an
increased danger of injury in an accident.

Children 13 years of age or older must wear a
safety belt as soon as a suitable child restraint
system can no longer be used due to their age,
size and weight.

Exception for front passenger seat

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

seat, the front and side airbags on the passen-
ger side must first be deactivated. Otherwise,
there is an increased risk of injury for the child if
the airbags are triggered, even with a child
restraint system.

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

Installing child restraint

systems

Observe the child restraint system manu-
facturer's instructions for selection,

installation and use of the child restraint sys-
tems. Otherwise the degree of protection may
be reduced.

Backrest width* on front passenger

seat

Open the backrest width setting of the
front passenger seat all the way. After

mounting the child's seat, deactivate the active
backrest width adjustment and do not call up
any memory position. Otherwise this limits the
stability of the child's seat on the front passen-
ger seat.

After unlocking the vehicle, sit on the front
passenger seat and close the door to call up
the memory position.

Completely open the backrest width adjust-
ment, refer to page

Deactivate active backrest width adjust-
ment, refer to page

Install child's seat.

Child seat security

All rear safety belts and the safety belt for the
front passenger can be locked against pulling
out to secure child restraint systems.

Locking safety belt

Secure the child restraint system with the
belt.

Pull out the belt webbing completely.

Allow the belt webbing to retract and pull
taut against the child restraint system. The
safety belt is locked.
