Transporting children safely
The right place for children
On front passenger seat
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, as otherwise there is
an increased risk of injury if the airbags are trig-
gered.<
Do not leave children unattended in the
vehicle, otherwise they could endanger
themselves and other persons, e.g. by opening
the doors.<
Children always in the rear
Accident research shows that the safest place
for children is on the rear seat.
Child seat security
Children younger than 13 years of age or
with a height under 5 ft/150 cm may only
be transported in the rear in child restraint sys-
tems which correspond to the age, weight and
height of the child. Otherwise there is an
increased danger of injury in an accident.<
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,
size and weight.
All rear safety belts and the safety belt for the
front passenger can be locked against pulling
out to secure child restraint systems.
Exception for front passenger seat
Should it be necessary to use a child
restraint system on the front passenger
seat, the front, knee and side airbags on the
passenger side must be deactivated before
doing so. Otherwise, there is an increased risk
of injury to the child if the airbags are triggered,
even with a child restraint system.<
Locking safety belt
1.
Secure the child restraint system with the
belt.
2.
3.
Pull out the belt webbing completely.
Allow the belt webbing to retract and pull
taut against the child restraint system. The
safety belt is locked.
For more information on automatic deactivation
of the front passenger airbags, refer to page 96.
Unlocking safety belt
1.
2.
3.
Open the belt buckle.
Installing child restraint
systems
Remove the child restraint system.
Allow the belt webbing to retract com-
pletely.
Follow child restraint system manufac-
turer's instructions for the selection,
installation and use of child restraint systems.
Otherwise, the degree of protection they offer
may be reduced.<
