DANGER
If you use a rear-facing child seat on the front passenger seat, the child in it is at increased risk of sustaining serious
or life-threatening injuries or being killed in the event of an accident.
● Never secure a rear-facing child seat on the front passenger seat if the front passenger front airbag is activated.
● Deactivate the front passenger front airbag. If the front passenger front airbag cannot be deactivated no rear-
facing child seat may be used.
● Move the front passenger seat as far back and as high as it can be adjusted to create the largest possible distance
between the child seat and the front passenger front airbag.
● Move the backrest to the upright position.
● Set the seat belt height so that the seat belt routing follows a natural line and is adjusted to the child seat
without turning back on itself. For rear-facing child seats, use the lowest position of the belt height adjuster.
● Only use child seats that have been approved by the child seat manufacturer for use on a front passenger seat
with front and side airbags.
WARNING
Child seats present a risk of injury if incorrectly installed.

to access. Therefore, a child seat should be used on another rear seat, if possible.
Securing systems
