Special seat belt retractor
may only carry a child on the front-
passenger seat once the system has been
repaired.
G Warning
Observe "Important safety instructions"
A child in a rear-facing child restraint on the
front-passenger seat will be seriously
injured or even killed if the front-passenger
front air bag inflates.
(
Y page 59).
All seat belts in the vehicle, except the
driver's seat belt, are equipped with a special
seat belt retractor. The activated special seat
belt retractor ensures that the seat belt
cannot slacken after being fastened.
Rwhen securing a child in a child restraint
system on the front-passenger seat, you
must:
-
move the front-passenger seat as far
back as possible
Installing a child restraint system:
X Always comply with the manufacturer's
installation instructions.
X Pull the seat belt smoothly from the inertia
reel.
X Engage the seat belt tongue in the belt
buckle.
-
use a child restraint system that is
suitable for the age, size and weight of
the child
-
observe the manufacturer's installation
instructions in order to install and secure
the child restraint system correctly.
Activating the special seat belt retractor:
RFor children larger than the typical 12-
month-old child, the front-passenger front
air bag can be activated or deactivated.
X Pull the seat belt out fully and let the inertia
reel retract it again.
While the seat belt is retracting, you should
hear a ratcheting sound. The special seat
belt retractor is activated.
X Push down on the child restraint system to
take up any slack.
G Warning
Infants and small children should never share
a seat belt with another occupant. During an
accident, they could be crushed between the
occupant and seat belt.
Removing a child restraint system/
deactivating the special seat belt retractor:
A child's risk of serious or fatal injuries is
significantly increased if the child restraints
are not properly secured in the vehicle and/
or the child is not properly secured in the child
restraint.
X Always comply with the manufacturer's
installation instructions.
X Press the seat belt release button and
guide the belt tongue to the belt outlet.
The special seat belt retractor is
deactivated.
Children too big for a toddler restraint must
ride in seats using regular seat belts. Position
the shoulder belt across the chest and
shoulder, not face or neck. A booster seat
may be necessary to achieve proper seat belt
positioning for children over 41 lb (18 kg) until
they reach a height where a lap/shoulder belt
fits properly without a booster.
G Warning
Never release the seat belt buckle while the
vehicle is in motion, since the special seat belt
retractor will be deactivated.
When the child restraint is not in use, remove
it from the vehicle or secure it with the seat
belt to prevent the child restraint from
becoming a projectile in the event of an
accident.
