attachments and the child may not be
restrained in the event of an accident, for
example.
#
If the child and the child restraint sys‐
tem together weigh more than 73 lb
(33 kg), only use a LATCH-type (ISOFIX)
child restraint system which secures
the child with the vehicle seat belt.
#
Also secure the child restraint system
with the Top Tether belt, if available.
Always comply with the information about the
mass of the child restraint system:
R
in the manufacturer's installation and operat‐
ing instructions for the child restraint system
used
R
on a label on the child restraint system, if
present
Regularly check that the permissible gross mass
of the child and child restraint system is still
complied with.

ability of the seats for attaching a child
restraint system.
O
Always comply with the manufacturer's
installation and operating instructions for

When installing a LATCH-type (ISOFIX)
child restraint system, observe the following:
O
When using a baby car seat in Group
0/0+ and a rearward-facing child
restraint system in Group I on a rear
seat: adjust the front seat so that it does
not touch the child restraint system.
O
When using a forward-facing child
restraint system in Group I: remove the
head restraint from the respective seat, if
possible. In addition, the seat backrest of
the child restraint system must, as far as
possible, lie flat against the backrest of the
vehicle seat.
When you remove the child restraint sys‐
tem, install the head restraint again immedi‐
ately and adjust all the head restraints cor‐
rectly.

For certain child restraint systems in weight
group II or III, there may be restrictions in
the maximum size setting, e.g. due to possi‐
ble contact with the roof.
O
The child restraint system must not be put
under strain between the roof and the seat
cushion and/or be installed facing the
wrong direction. Where possible, adjust the
seat cushion inclination accordingly.
O
The child restraint system must not be put
under strain by the head restraints. Adjust
the head restraints accordingly.
