We recommend a child restraint system which is tailored specifically to the vehicle. For further information,
contact your workshop.

used, pay attention to the following
usage and installation instructions
and also those supplied with the child
restraint system.

regulations. In some countries, the
use of child restraint systems is
forbidden on certain seats.

universal category positions are
marked in the table by IUF 3 48.
Selecting the right system The rear seats are the most
convenient location to fasten a child
restraint system.
Children should travel facing
rearwards in the vehicle as long as
possible. This ensures that the child's
backbone, which is still very weak, is
under less strain in the event of an
accident.
Suitable are restraint systems that
comply with valid UN ECE
regulations. Check local laws and
regulations for mandatory use of child restraint systems.
Ensure that the child restraint system
to be installed is compatible with the
vehicle type.
Refer to the tables on the following
pages, the instructions supplied with
the child restraint system and the
vehicle type list of non-universal child restraint systems.
The following child restraints are recommended for the following
weight classes:
● Group 0, Group 0+

Kidfix, TAKATA MAXI 2/3 for children from 15 kg up to 36 kg.
Ensure that the mounting location of
the child restraint system within the
vehicle is correct, see following
tables.
Allow children to enter and exit the
vehicle only on the side facing away
from the traffic.
When the child restraint system is not
in use, secure the seat with a seat belt or remove it from the vehicle.
Notice
Do not affix anything on the child
restraint systems and do not cover
them with any other materials.
A child restraint system which has
been subjected to stress in an
accident must be replaced.
