Transporting children safely
The right place for children
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 leave children unattended in the
vehicle, otherwise they could endanger
themselves and other persons, e.g. by opening
the doors.<
Do not mount child restraint systems on the 3rd
row seats, as otherwise the protection provided
by these child restraint systems may be
reduced.<
Children always in rear
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
On front passenger seat
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.<
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.<
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.
Backrest width*
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.<
Exception for front passenger seat
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.<
1.
Open backrest width adjustment com-
pletely, refer to page 44.
2.
Install child's seat.
For more information on automatic deactivation
of the front passenger airbags, refer to page 98.
Child seat security
Installing child restraint
systems
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.<
All safety belts of the 2nd and 3rd* row seats
and the safety belt for the front passenger can
be locked against pulling out.
