What you should be mindful of
For how to install and use the child seat, please note the instruc-
tions in this Owner's Manual as well as the instructions of the
child seat manufacturer.
Using a child seat on the front passenger seat
When using a child seat on the passenger seat, any country-spe-
cific regulations must be observed.
For safety reasons, we always recommend that children are
transported on the back seats. Carry children on the front pas-
senger seat only in exceptional cases.
Never use a child seat in which the child is carried with his or her
back to the direction of travel on a seat protected by an active
airbag placed in front of the seat. This could cause serious injury
to the child, even death.
Use child seats according to standard ECE-R 44 and ECE-R 129
of the European Economic Commission.
Child seats according to standard ECE-R 44 and ECE-R 129 are
marked with the test symbol: large E in a circle, with the test
number below.
