- Observe the notes on rearward-facing and forward-facing child restraint systems on the front passenger seat More.
- Observe the child restraint system manufacturer's installation and operating instructions.
- For a child restraint system in the "Universal" or "Semi-Universal" category, make sure that the system has been approved for the vehicle seat. Observe the notes under "Suitability of seats for attaching belt-secured child restraint systems" More.
- When using a forward-facing child restraint system in weight category I: remove the head restraint from the respective seat, if possible. After the child restraint system has been removed, replace the head restraints again immediately and adjust them correctly.
- The backrest of the forward-facing child restraint system must, as far as possible, be resting on the seat backrest of the front passenger seat.
- If the head restraint of the child seat cannot be fully extended when it is installed in the vehicle, this will result in restrictions on the maximum size setting for child restraint systems in weight category II or III. Contact with the roof when the head restraint is fully extended and locked in place will not result in any restrictions on use.
- The child restraint system must not be put under strain between the roof and the seat cushion and/or be fitted facing the wrong direction.
- The child restraint system must not be put under strain by the head restraint. Adjust the head restraints as appropriate.
- Never place objects (e.g. cushions) under or behind the child restraint system.
The entire base of the child restraint system must always rest on the sitting surface of the front passenger seat.
The shoulder belt strap must be routed forwards and downwards from the seat belt outlet.
