The child can then not be protected or restrained as intended.

Be sure to comply with the manufacturer's installation instructions for the child restraint system and its correct use.

Make sure that the entire base of the child restraint system always rests on the sitting surface of the seat.

Never place objects (e.g. cushions) under or behind the child restraint system.

Use child restraint systems only with the original cover designed for them.

Always replace damaged covers with genuine covers.

WARNING Risk of injury or death due to unsecured child restraint systems in the vehicle

If the child restraint system is incorrectly installed or not secured, it can come loose.

The child restraint system could be flung around and hit vehicle occupants.

Always install child restraint systems correctly, even when not in use.

Always comply with the child restraint system manufacturer's installation instructions.

• Always observe the child restraint system manufacturer's installation and operating instructions as well as the vehicle-specific information:
  • Installing the LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint system on the rear seat.
  • Securing the child restraint system with the seat belt on the rear seat.
  • Securing the child restraint system with the seat belt on the front passenger seat. Observe the specific instructions for the rearward-facing and forward-facing child restraint systems.

    If the front passenger seat is occupied, ensure, both before and during the journey, that the status of the front passenger airbag is correct for the current situation.

• Observe the warning labels in the vehicle interior and on the child restraint system.
• Also secure Top Tether if present.
