Incorrect handling (e.g. removal or

fitting of belts) can trigger the belt

pretensioners.

The seat belts are locked during

heavy acceleration or deceleration of

the vehicle, holding the occupants in

the seat position. Therefore the risk of

injury is considerably reduced.

9 Danger

Make sure that children below

sufficient size and weight are

protected using a suitable child

restraint system. Never place a

child on the lap.

Deactivate passenger airbag only

in combination with the use of a

child restraint system, subject to

the instructions and restrictions in

the table 3 50.

Otherwise, there is a risk of fatal

injury for a person occupying a

seat with a deactivated front

passenger airbag.

If both control indicators are

illuminated at the same time, there is

a system failure. The status of the

system is not discernible, therefore

no person is allowed to occupy the

front passenger seat. Contact a

workshop immediately.

9 Danger

If using a rear-facing child restraint

system on the front passenger

seat, the airbag system for the

front passenger seat must be

deactivated. This also applies to

certain forward-facing child

restraint systems as indicated in

the tables 3 50.

Consult a workshop immediately if

neither of the two control indicators

We recommend a child restraint

system which is tailored specifically to

the vehicle. For further information,

contact your workshop.

In case of any interference of the child

restraint system with vehicle seat

head restraint, adjust or remove the

corresponding head restraint 3 30.

When a child restraint system is being

used, pay attention to the following

usage and installation instructions

and also those supplied with the child

restraint system. The given

restrictions in the table refer to a test

body, which is the maximum

envelope of all existing child restraint

systems. Make sure that the front

seats do not interfere with the used

child restraint system.

Always comply with local or national

regulations. In some countries, the

use of child restraint systems is

forbidden on certain seats.

Child restraint systems can be

fastened with:

Fasten vehicle-approved ISOFIX

child restraint systems to the ISOFIX

brackets. Specific vehicle ISOFIX

child restraint system positions are

marked in the ISOFIX table 3 50.

●

Three-point seat belt

ISOFIX brackets

Top-tether

ISOFIX brackets are indicated by a

seats, first incline the backrest as far

as necessary backwards in order to

get access to the ISOFIX brackets.

After the proper fastening of the

ISOFIX child restraint system, incline

the backrest forward again.

An i-Size child restraint system is an
