Child safety seats in Group 3
For children of about 7 years of age weighing between 22 and 36 kg and
of a height of less than 150 cm, the optimal solution is a child safety seat
(seat bolster) in combination with the three-point seat belt ⇒fig. 142 .
Children of more than 150 cm in height may use the seat belts fitted to the
vehicle without a seat bolster.

Child seat protection
You can block the three-point seat belt in order to attach a
child safety seat.
You can permanently block the three-point seat belt in order to
attach a child safety seat. Blocking the belt in this way ensures
that the child seat is held firmly in position in the car.
WARNING (continued)
•The shoulder part of the seat belt must run approximately
across the middle of the shoulder and fit snugly against the chest.
It must on no account run across the neck. The lap part of the seat
belt must run across the pelvis and fits snugly; it must not run over
the belly. Tighten the belt webbing over your hip if necessary.
•Please comply with any differi ng national legal regulations
regarding the use of child safety seats.

Activating child seat protection
– Attach the child safety seat with the three-point seat belt as
stated in the instructions of the manufacturer of the child seat.
– Now, pull the shoulder part of the belt out fully.
– Insert the tongue of the lock into the seat belt buckle belonging to the seat until it is heard to lock in place.
– Reel up the belt webbing until it is fitted snugly against the child seat. When the belt is reeled up, this can be detected by
a “clicking” noise.
– Pull on the belt in order to check that it is no longer possible to pull out the webbing. The child seat protection is now switched
on.
Deactivating child seat protection
– Press the red button on the seat belt buckle. The tongue of the lock jumps out of the buckle as a result of the spring force
when this is done.
– Guide the belt back with your hand to enable the inertia reel to wind up the belt webbing more easily. The child safety lock is
deactivated after the full reeling up of the belt.WARNING
It is essential to always switch off ⇒page 154 the airbag (airbags)
when attaching a child safety seat on the front passenger seat
where the child is seated with its back facing in direction of travel
(in some countries also when the child is facing the direction of
travel). If this is not done, there is a risk of the child suffering
severe or even fatal injuries if the front passenger airbag is
deployed. In certain countries national legal provisions also
require that the side or head passenger airbags be deactivated.
When transporting a child on the front passenger seat, please
comply with the appropriate national regulations regarding the use
of child safety seats.
