Child restraint systems9 Danger
If using a rear-facing child restraint
system on the front passenger
seat, the airbag system for the
front passenger seat must be
deactivated. This also applies to certain forward-facing child
restraint systems as indicated in
the tables 3 53.
Airbag deactivation 3 49.
Airbag label 3 45.
We recommend a child restraint system which is tailored specifically to the vehicle. For further information,
contact your workshop.
When a child restraint system is being
used, pay attention to the following
usage and installation instructions
and also those supplied with the child
restraint system.
Always comply with local or national
regulations. In some countries, the
use of child restraint systems is
forbidden on certain seats.
Child restraint systems can be
fastened with:
● Three-point seat belt
● ISOFIX brackets
● Top-tether
Three-point seat belt
Child restraint systems can be
fastened by using a three-point seat
belt. Depending on the size of the
used child restraint systems, up to
three child restraint systems can be
attached to the rear seats 3 53.ISOFIX brackets
Fasten vehicle-approved ISOFIX
child restraint systems to the ISOFIX
mounting brackets. Specific vehicle
ISOFIX child restraint system
positions are marked in the ISOFIX
table 3 53.
ISOFIX mounting brackets are
indicated by a label on the backrest.
Either a Top-tether strap or a support leg must be used in addition to the
ISOFIX mounting brackets.
Top-tether anchors Top-tether anchors are marked with
the symbol : for a child seat.

52Seats, restraints
In addition to the ISOFIX mounting
brackets, fasten the Top-tether strap
to the Top-tether anchors.
Remove the load compartment cover before mounting a child restraint
system, if required 3 60.
ISOFIX child restraint systems of
universal category positions are
marked in the table by IUF 3 53.
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 makes sure 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.
The following child restraints are
recommended for the following
weight classes:
● Group 0, Group 0+
Maxi Cosi Cabriofix with or
without ISOFIX base, for children
up to 13 kg.
● Group I
Duo Plus with ISOFIX and Top-
tether, for children from 9 kg to
18 kg.
● Group II, Group III
Kidfix XP with or without ISOFIX,
for children from 15 kg to 25 kg.
Graco Junior, for children
from 22 kg to 36 kg.Ensure that the child restraint system to be installed is compatible with the
vehicle type.
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 beltor remove it from the vehicle.
Note
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.
