WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
incorrect positioning of the child restraint
system
If you secure a child in a forward-facing child
restraint system on the co-driver seat and you
position the co-driver seat too close to the
dashboard, in the event of an accident, the
child could:
R
come into contact with the vehicle's inte-
rior if the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indi-
cator lamp is lit, for example
R
be struck by the airbag if the PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp is o
#
Always move the co-driver seat as far
back as possible. In doing so, always
make sure that the shoulder belt strap is
correctly routed from the seat belt outlet
of the vehicle to the shoulder belt guide
on the child restraint system. The shoul-
der belt strap must be routed forwards
and downwards from the seat belt outlet.
If necessary, adjust the seat belt outlet
and the co-driver seat accordingly.
#
Always comply with the child restraint
system manufacturer's installation
instructions.
Notes on vehicles without automatic front
passenger airbag shuto
Vehicles without automatic front passenger airbag
shuto have a special sticker axed to the side of
the cockpit on the front passenger side
(/ page 130).
Make sure you observe the following information:
R
Never t a rearward-facing child restraint sys-
tem to the front passenger seat
R
Always t a rearward-facing child restraint sys-
tem to a suitable rear seat

Notes on rearward-facing and forward-facing
child restraint systems on the front passenger
seat (/ page 131)
Suitable child restraint systems for the transport
of children
Information on the advantage of a rearward-facing
child restraint system
Transport a baby in a suitable rearward-facing
child restraint system only. It is also preferable to
transport a small child in a suitable rearward-
facing child restraint system. In this case, the
child sits in the opposite direction to the direction
of travel and faces backwards.
Babies and small children have comparatively
weak neck muscles in relation to the size and
weight of their head. The risk of injury to the cer-
vical spine during an accident can be reduced in a
rearward-facing child restraint system.
