tem. This confirmation can also be found in
the installation instructions that are included
with the child restraint system.
Observe the warning labels in the vehicle inte-
rior and on the child restraint system.
Child restraint system on the front-
passenger seat
General notes
If you install a child restraint system on the
front-passenger seat, always observe the
instructions and safety notes on the "Occu-
pant Classification System (OCS)" (Y page 46).
You can thus avoid the risks that could arise
as a result of:
R
an incorrectly categorized person in the
front-passenger seat
R
deactivating the front passenger front air
bag unintentionally
R
the unsuitable positioning of the child
restraint system, e.g. too close to the dash-
board
Rearward-facing child restraint system
If circumstances require you to secure a child
in a rearward-facing child restraint system on
the front-passenger seat, always make sure
that the front passenger front air bag is deacti-
vated. Only if the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp is lit continuously (Y page 39),
is the front passenger front air bag deactiva-
ted.
Always observe the child restraint system
manufacturer's installation and operating
instructions.
Forward-facing child restraint system
If you secure a child in a forward-facing child
restraint system on the front-passenger seat,
always move the front-passenger seat as far
back as possible. The entire base of the child
restraint system must always rest on the seat
cushion of the front-passenger seat. The back-
rest of the child restraint system must lie as
flat as possible against the backrest of the
front-passenger seat. The child restraint sys-
tem must not touch the roof or be subjected
to a load by the head restraint. Adjust the
angle of the seat backrest and the head
restraint position accordingly. Always make
sure that the shoulder belt strap is correctly
routed from the front-passenger seat belt
guide to the shoulder belt guide on the child
restraint system. The shoulder belt strap must
be routed forward and down from the front-
passenger seat belt guide.
Always observe the child restraint system
manufacturer's installation and operating
instructions.
Pets in the vehicle
G
WARNING
If you leave animals unsupervised or unse-
cured in the vehicle, they may press buttons
or switches, for instance.
In this way, animals may:
R
activate vehicle equipment and become
trapped, for example
R
switch systems on or off and thereby
endanger other road users
Furthermore, unsecured animals may be
flung around inside the vehicle in the event
of an accident or abrupt steering or braking
maneuver, and thereby injure vehicle occu-
pants. There is a risk of accident and injury.
Never leave animals unattended in the vehi-
cle.
Always secure animals properly when driv-
ing, for instance with a suitable pet carrier.
