a child seat with the luggage compartment
retaining ring.

tainer.
WARNING
In general, the rear seat is always the saf-

rectly, in the event of an accident.
●
A suitable chil
d seat that is correctly in-
stalled and used on one of the rear seats
offer the most protection possible for ba-
bies and children up to 12 years in most ac-
cidents.

Unbuckling the seat belt while the vehicle
is in motion can cause se

ries in the event of an accident or sudden
braking.

The seat belt must not be unfastened un-
til the vehicle has come to a standstill.
CAUTION
●
To avoid making permanent marks in the
padding, r
emove the auxiliary introduction
elements from the anchor points when the
child seat is not installed in the vehicle an-
chor points.

holstery, the padding or the auxiliary intro-
duction elements, always remove the auxil-

Legal regulations and provisions will always
take priority over the descriptions of this in-
struction manual. There are different regula-
tions and provisions for the use of child seats
and their mountings (
›››
table on page 68).
In some countries, for example, the use of
child seats on certain seats in the vehicle
may be forbidden.
The physical principles and the forces acting
on the vehicle in the event of a collision or
other type of accidents also apply to children
›››
page 53. However, unlike adults and
youngsters, children do not have fully devel-
oped muscle and bone structures. In the
event of an accident, children are subject to a
greater risk than adults of sustaining severe
injuries.
Given that children's bodies are not yet fully
developed, child restraint systems must be
used that are especially adapted to their
height, weight and constitution. There are
laws in force in many countries that indicate
the use of approved seat systems for trans-
porting babies and children.
Only used authorised, approved child seats
that are suitable for the vehicle. Always con-
sult with a SEAT dealership or a Specialised
workshop should you have any doubts.
