Securing the child restraint system with the
seat belt on the front passenger seat
When installing a belt-secured child restraint
system on the front passenger seat, always
observe the following:
O
Observe the child restraint system manufac‐
turer's installation and operating instruc‐
tions.
O
When using a forward-facing child restraint
system in Group I: remove the head
restraint from the respective seat, if possi‐
ble.
When you remove the child restraint sys‐
tem, install the head restraint again immedi‐
ately and adjust all the head restraints cor‐
rectly.
O
The backrest of the forward-facing child
restraint system must lie as flat as possible
against the backrest of the front passenger
seat.
O
For certain child restraint systems in weight
group II or III, 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 put
under strain between the roof and the seat
cushion and/or be installed facing the
wrong direction. Adjust the seat backrest
inclination accordingly.
O
The child restraint system must not be put
under strain by the head restraints. Adjust
the head restraints accordingly.
O
Never place objects under or behind the
child restraint system, e.g. cushions.
The seat belt on the front passenger side is
equipped with a special seatbelt retractor.
When activated, the special seatbelt retractor
ensures that the seat belt does not slacken once
the child restraint system is secured
(
→ page 52).
#
Set the front passenger seat as far back as
possible and move the seat into the highest
position.
#
Fully retract the seat cushion length adjust‐
ment.
#
Adjust the seat cushion inclination so that
the front edge of the seat cushion is in the
highest position and the rear edge of the
seat cushion is in the lowest position.
#
Set the seat backrest to an almost vertical
position.
#
Install the child restraint system.
The entire base of the child restraint system
must always rest on the seat cushion of the
front passenger seat.
#
Always make sure that the shoulder belt
strap is correctly routed from the seat belt
outlet of the vehicle to the shoulder belt
guide on the child restraint system.
The shoulder belt strap must be routed for‐
wards and downwards from the seat belt out‐
let.
#
If necessary, adjust the seat belt outlet and
the front passenger seat accordingly.
