Attaching child safety seat
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-poin t 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.
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. Th e child safety lock is deactivated
after the full reeling up of the belt.
WARNING
It is essential to always switch off ⇒page 144 the airbag (airbags) when
attaching a child safety seat on the fr ont 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 and head airbags be deactivated. When transporting a child on the
front passenger seat, please comply wi th the appropriate national regula-
tions regarding the use of child safety seats.
