Safety information
Warning
Children on the front passenger
seat
The protective effect of child restraint sys-
tems and their fastening systems which have
been damaged or exposed to an accident
can be limited or lost. A child cannot be prop-
erly restrained in the event of an accident,
braking or evasive maneuvers. There is a risk
of injury or danger to life.
General information
Before using a child restraint system on the
front passenger seat, ensure that the front,
knee, and side airbags on the passenger's side
are deactivated.
Do not use child restraint systems which
have been damaged or exposed to an acci-
dent.
Additional information:
For automatic deactivation of front passenger
airbags, refer to page 178.
If attachment systems have been damaged
or strained by an accident, have them
checked and replaced by an authorized serv-
ice center or another qualified service center
or repair shop.
Safety information
Warning
Active front passenger airbags can injure a
child in a child restraint system when the air-
bags are deployed. There is a risk of injury.
Make sure that the front passenger airbags
are deactivated and that the PASSENGER
AIRBAG OFF indicator light illuminates.
Warning
The stability of the child restraint system is
limited or compromised with incorrect seat
setting or improper installation of the child
seat. There is a risk of injury or danger to life.
Make sure that the child restraint system fits
securely against the backrest. If possible, ad-
just the backrest tilt for all affected backrests
and correctly adjust the seats. Make sure that
seats and backrests are securely engaged or
locked. If possible and necessary, adjust the
height of the head restraints or remove them.

Child seat security
Before installing a child restraint system in the
front passenger seat, make sure that the front,
knee and side airbags on the passenger's side
are deactivated.
Additional information:
For automatic deactivation of front passenger
airbags, refer to page 178.
The seat belts in the rear and the front pass-
enger seat belt can be permanently locked to
fasten child restraint systems.
Seat position and height
After mounting a child restraint system, move
the front passenger seat as far back as it will
go and, if possible, to the lowest position. This
seat position and height ensure the best pos-
sible position for the belt and offers optimal
protection in the event of an accident.
Locking the seat belt
1. Pull out the seat belt strap completely.
2. Secure the child restraint system with the
seat belt.
After mounting a universal child restraint sys-
tem, adjust the tilt of the seat backrest so that
the belt is not constrained.
3. Allow the seat belt strap to be pulled in
and pull it tight against the child restraint
system. The seat belt is disabled.
If the upper attachment point of the seat belt
is located in front of the seat belt guide of the
child seat, move the front passenger seat care-
fully forward until the best possible seat belt
guide position is reached.
Unlocking the seat belt
1. Unbuckle the seat belt buckle.
2. Remove the child restraint system.
3. Allow the seat belt strap to be pulled in
completely.
Backrest width
Adjustable backrest width: Before installing a
child restraint system on the front passenger
seat, open the backrest width completely. Do
not change the backrest width again and do
not call up a memory position.
