Transporting children safely

The right place for children

Do not leave children unattended in the

vehicle; otherwise, they could endanger

themselves and/or other persons by opening

the doors, for example.<

Children on the passenger seat

Always transport children under the age

of 13 or smaller than 5 ft/150 cm in a child

restraint system suitable for their age, weight

and size, and with the passenger airbag deacti-

vated. Otherwise, there is an increased risk of

injury in the event of an accident or if the airbags

deploy.<

Children 13 years of age or older must be buck-

led in with a safety belt as soon as there no

longer is any child restraint system that is

appropriate for their age, size and weight.

For more information on automatic deactivation

of the passenger airbags refer to page 86.

Installing child restraint

systems

After installing a child restraint system on

the passenger seat, make sure that the

front and side airbags for the passenger are

deactivated; otherwise, there is an increased

risk of injury if the airbags deploy.

Observe the child restraint system manufac-

turer's instructions when selecting, installing

and using child restraint systems. Otherwise,

the protective effect may be diminished.<

Standard child restraint systems are designed

to be secured with a lap belt or with the lap-belt

section of a lap-and-shoulder belt. Incorrectly

or improperly installed child restraint systems

can increase the risk of injury to children.

Always follow the installation instructions for

the system with the greatest care.

On the passenger seat

After installing a child restraint system on

the passenger seat, make sure that the

front and side airbags for the passenger are

deactivated; otherwise, there is an increased

risk of injury if the airbags deploy.<

Seat position

Before installing a child restraint system, move

the passenger seat as far back and up

* as pos-

sible to obtain the best possible position for

the belt.

Backrest width*

The backrest width of the passenger seat

must be at its widest possible setting. Do

not change the setting after installing the child

seat. Otherwise, the child seat's stability on the

passenger seat is limited.<

1. Adjust the backrest width to its widest set-

ting, refer to page 43.

2. Install the child seat.

Child seat security

The safety belt for the passenger can be locked

to prevent it from being pulled out when it is

used to secure child restraint systems.
