Transporting children safely
The right place for children
On the passenger's seat
After installing a child restraint system on
the passenger seat, make sure that the
front and side airbag on the front passenger
side have been deactivated. Otherwise, there is
an increased risk of injury when the airbags are
triggered.<
Do not leave children unattended in the
vehicle; otherwise, they could endanger
themselves and/or others, for example by open-
ing the doors.<
Children always in the rear
Accident research has demonstrated that the
safest place for children is in the rear seat.
Child seat security
Children younger than 13 or smaller than
5
ft/150 cm should only ride in the rear, in
child restraint systems provided in accordance
with their age, weight, and height. Otherwise,
there is an increased risk of injury in the event of
an accident.<
Children older than 13 must be secured with a
safety belt as soon as they have outgrown a
suitable child restraint system due to their age,
height, and weight.
In order to permit installation of child restraint
systems, all rear safety belts and the front pas-
senger safety belt can be locked to prevent
them from being pulled out.
Exception for the front passenger seat
If it should be necessary to use a child
restraint system on the front passenger
seat, the front and side airbags must be deacti-
vated. Otherwise, there is an increased risk of
injury to the child if the airbag is triggered, even
with a child restraint system.<
