Deactivating the switchable locking feature
The switchable locking feature for child restraints will be deactivated automatically when the belt is
wound all the way back into the retractor.
Press the red button on the safety belt buckle. The belt tongue will pop out of the buckle.
Guide the safety belt back by hand so that it rolls easily onto the retractor and the trim around the
retractor will not be damaged.
Always let the safety belt retract completely into its stowed position. The safety belt can now be used
as an ordinary safety belt without the switchable locking feature for child restraints.
If the switchable locking feature should be activated inadvertently, the safety belt must be unfastened
and guided completely back into its stowed position to deactivate this feature. If the switchable lock‐
ing feature is not deactivated, the safety belt will gradually become tighter and uncomfortable to wear.
WARNING
Using the wrong child restraint or an improperly installed child restraint can cause serious per‐
sonal injury or death in an accident.
Always make sure that the safety belt retractor is locked when installing a child restraint, ex‐
cept a booster seat. An unlocked safety belt retractor cannot hold the child restraint in place
during normal driving or in a crash.
Always buckle the child restraint firmly in place even if a child is not sitting in it. A loose child
restraint can fly around during a sudden stop or in a collision.
Always make sure the seat backrest to which the child restraint is installed is in an upright po‐
sition and securely latched into place and cannot fold forward. Otherwise, the seat backrest
with the child restraint attached to it could fly forward in a collision or other emergency
situation.
Always read and heed all WARNINGS whenever using a child restraint in a vehicle ⇒Child
safety and child restraints . Special precautions apply when installing a child restraint on the
front passenger seat ⇒The dangers of using child restraints on the front seat , and ⇒Child re‐
straints and the Advanced Airbag System , and ⇒Important safety instructions for using child
restraints .
