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

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

<

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 on the 2nd row seats in child 
restraint systems 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, 
weight and size.

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

seat, the front and side airbags on the passen-
ger side must 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

.

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

installation and use of child restraint systems. 
Otherwise, the degree of protection may be 
reduced.

<

For equipment with 3rd row seats

, make 

sure that the seat of the 2nd row seats on 

which the child restraint system is mounted is 
properly locked. Otherwise there is an 
increased risk of injury for the child in an acci-
dent.
Do not mount child restraint systems on the 3rd 
row seats, as otherwise the protection provided 
by these child restraint systems may be 
reduced.

<

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

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

<

The backrest width adjustment of the 
front passenger seat must be completely 

open. After installing the child's seat, no mem-
ory position may be called up; otherwise, the 
stability of the child's seat on the front passen-
ger seat is reduced.

<

All safety belts of the 2nd and 3rd

be locked against pulling out.
