AIRBAG OFF indicator light illuminates.
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.

protection. There is a risk of injury or danger
to life. Make sure that the lower anchors are
correctly engaged and that the child restraint

stead for the middle seat.

tachment points of the child restraint system
are intended for attaching child restraint sys-
tems only. If other objects are attached, the

aged. There is a risk of injury or risk of dam-
age to property. Only attach child restraint
systems at the corresponding mounts for the
lower anchors or attachment points.
