position:

Make sure that children below sufficient

size and weight are protected using a

suitable child restraint system. Never

place a child on the lap.

OFF

front passenger airbag is

deactivated and will not inflate

in the event of a collision.

Control indicator illuminates

continuously in the centre

console

If the control indicator ON illuminates for

approx. 60 seconds after the ignition is

switched on, the front passenger airbag

system will inflate in the event of a

collision.

If the control indicator OFF illuminates

after the ignition is switched on,

the front passenger airbag system is

deactivated. It stays on while the airbag

is deactivated.

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.

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

Child Restraints table.

When fastening ISOFIX child restraint

In case of any interference of the child

restraint system with the vehicle seat

head restraint, adjust or remove the

corresponding head restraint ðpage16 .

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.

Three-point seat belt

Child restraint systems can be fastened

by using a three-point seat belt. After

fastening the child restraint system the

seat belt must be tightened ðpage30 .

"ISOFIX" Brackets

Always comply with local or national

regulations. In some countries, the use

of child restraint systems is forbidden on

certain seats.

Only drive with the driver seat correctly

adjusted ðpage17 .

Either a top-tether strap or a support leg

must be used in addition to the ISOFIX

brackets.

i-Size child seats and vehicle seats with

i-Size approval are marked with i-Size

symbol, see illustration.

Danger

Extreme Hazard!

Do not use a rearward facing child

restraint on a seat protected by an

airbag in front of it.

Fasten vehicle-approved ISOFIX child

restraint systems to the ISOFIX brackets.

Specific vehicle ISOFIX child restraint

system positions are marked in the child

Top-tether anchors

We recommend using the child seat

with the backrest.

If the backrest is removed for a child

Selecting The Right System

The rear seats are the most convenient

location to fasten a child restraint system.

in the vehicle as long as possible. This

makes sure that the child's backbone,

which is still very weak, is under less

strain in the event of an accident.

Seats, Restraints

Ensure that the mounting location of the

child restraint system within the vehicle is

correct, see following table.

Allow children to enter and exit the

vehicle only on the side facing away from

the traffic.

When the child restraint system is not in

use, secure the seat with a seat belt or

remove it from the vehicle.

Note

Do not affix anything on the child restraint

systems and do not cover them with any

other materials. A child restraint system

that has been subjected to stress in an

accident must be replaced.
