The right place for children
Safety information
Warning
Unattended children or animals in the vehicle
can cause the vehicle to move and endanger
themselves and traffic, for instance due to the
following actions:
▷ Pressing the Start/Stop button.
▷ Releasing the parking brake.
▷ Opening and closing the doors or win‐
dows.
▷ Engaging selector lever position N.
▷ Using vehicle equipment.
There is a risk of accidents or injuries. Do not
leave children or animals unattended in the ve‐
hicle. Take the vehicle key with you when exit‐
ing and lock the vehicle.
Warning
A heated vehicle may result in death to per‐
sons, especially children and animals. There is
a risk of injuries or danger to life. Do not leave
persons, especially children and animals unat‐
tended in the vehicle.
Warning
Exposure to intense sunlight can cause child
restraint systems and their components to be‐
come very hot. Persons may sustain burn inju‐
ries when touching the hot components. There
is a risk of injury. Do not expose the child re‐
straint system to direct sunlight or cover where
necessary. If necessary, let the child restraint
system cool down before transporting a child.
Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle.
Always transport children in the
rear seat
General information
Accident research shows that the safest place
for children is in the rear seat.
Transport children younger than 13 years of age
or shorter than 5 ft/150 cm only in the rear seat
in suitable child restraint systems designed for
the age, weight and size of the child. Children
13 years of age or older must wear a safety belt
as soon as a suitable child restraint system can
no longer be used due to their age, weight, or
size.
