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.

age to property. Only attach child restraint

systems at the corresponding mounts for the
