Regularly check that the permissible gross mass
of the child and child restraint system is still
complied with.
When you are installing a child restraint system,
observe the following:
O
Always observe the correct use and the suit‐
ability of the seats for attaching a child
restraint system.
O
Always comply with the manufacturer's
installation and oper ating instructions for
the child restraint system used.
O
Make sure that the child's feet do not touch
the front seat. If necessary, move the front
seat forward slightly.
When you are installing a LATCH-type
(ISOFIX) child restraint system, observe the fol‐
lowing:
O
When you are using a Group 0/0+ baby
car seat and a Group 1 rearward-facing
child restraint system on a rear seat:
adjust the front seat so that the seat does
not touch the child restraint system.
O
When you are using a Group 1 forward-
facing child restraint system: 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.
After the child restraint system has been
removed, replace the head restraints again
immediately and adjust them correctly.
O
For certain child restraint systems in weight
group 2 or 3, 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 ten‐
sioned between the roof and the seat cush‐
ion 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.
