The right place for children
Note
Children in the vehicle
Do not leave children unattended in the
vehicle; otherwise, they could endanger them‐
selves and other persons, e.g., by opening the
doors.◀
Children on the front passenger seat
Should it be necessary to use a child restraint
fixing system on the front passenger seat,
make sure that the front and side airbags on
the front passenger side are deactivated. Auto‐
matic deactivation of front passenger airbags,
refer to page 91.
Deactivating the front passenger airbags
If a child restraint fixing system is used in
the front passenger seat, the front passenger
airbags must be deactivated; otherwise, there
is an increased risk of injury to the child when
the airbags are triggered, even with a child re‐
straint fixing system.◀
Transport children in suitable child re‐
straint fixing systems
Only transport children younger than 13 years
of age or shorter than 5 ft/150 cm in child re‐
straint fixing systems suitable for the age,
weight and size of the child; otherwise, there is
an increased risk of injury in an accident.
Children 13 years of age or older must wear a
safety belt as soon as a suitable child restraint
fixing system can no longer be used, due to
their age, weight and size.◀

Manufacturer's information for child re‐
straint fixing systems

tective effect can be impaired.◀
Standard child restraint systems are designed
to be secured with a lap belt or with the lap-
belt section of a lap-and-shoulder belt. Incor‐
rectly or improperly installed child restraint
systems can increase the risk of injury to chil‐
dren. Always follow the installation instructions
for the system with the greatest care.

Check the deactivation of the passenger
airbag
After installing a child restraint fixing system
on the passenger seat, make sure that the
