Safety information  
Warning  
Exposure to intense sunlight can cause child  
restraint systems and their components to  
become very hot. Persons may sustain burn  
injuries when touching the hot components.  
There is a risk of injury. Do not expose  
the child restraint system to direct sunlight  
or cover where necessary. If necessary, let  
the child restraint system cool down before  
transporting a child. Do not leave children un-  
attended in the vehicle.  
Unattended children or animals in the vehicle  
can cause the vehicle to move and endanger  
themselves and traffic, for example, due to  
the following actions:  
Establishing standby.  
Releasing the parking brake.  
Children in the rear seat  
Opening and closing the doors or win-  
dows.  
General information  
Engaging selector lever position N.  
Using vehicle equipment.  
Accident research shows that the safest place  
for children is in the rear seat.  
Children younger than 13 years of age or  
shorter than 5 ft/150 cm should be transported  
in the rear seat in suitable child restraint sys-  
tems designed for the age, weight and size  
of the child. Children 13 years of age or older  
must wear a seat belt as soon as a suitable  
child restraint system can no longer be used  
due to their age, weight, or size.  
There is a risk of accident, injury, and prop-  
erty damage. Do not leave children or ani-  
mals unattended in the vehicle. Take the ve-  
hicle key with you when exiting and lock the  
vehicle.
