Securing a child seat using the seat belt
—Observe the instructions (→ Child seats, General safety).
—Adjust the belt height of the seat belt so that a natural seat belt routing that is matched to the
child seat results. Use the lowest position of the belt height adjuster for rear-facing child
seats.
—Fasten the seat belt and guide it through the child seat as described in the child seat
manufacturer's instructions.
—Ensure that the seat belt is not twisted.
—Insert the latch plate into the buckle for the appropriate seat and push it down until it audibly
engages.
