For ISOFIX or i‑Size child restraint systems in which the child is secured using the seat belt integrated in the child restraint system, the permissible gross mass of the child and child restraint system is 33 kg.
If the child and the child restraint system together weigh more than 33 kg, the ISOFIX or i‑Size child restraint system with integrated seat belt does not offer sufficient protection. Too much load may be placed on the ISOFIX or i‑Size child restraint systems and the child may not be restrained correctly in the event of an accident, for example.

- For certain child restraint systems in weight groups 2 or 3, there may be certain restrictions in the maximum size setting, e.g. due to possible contact with the roof.
- When fitted, the child restraint system must not be braced between the roof and the seat and/or twisted. Where possible, adjust the seat cushion inclination accordingly.
- The child restraint system must not be put under strain by the head restraints. Adjust the head restraints accordingly.
