Child restraints

Child restraint systems

When a child restraint system is beingused, pay attention to the following

usage and installation instructionsand also those supplied with the childrestraint system.

 Always comply with local or nationalregulations. In some countries, theuse of child restraint systems isforbidden on certain seats.

  Warning

When using a child restraintsystem on the front passenger seat, the airbag systems for thefront passenger seat must bedeactivated; if not, the triggering of the airbags poses a risk of fatalinjury to the child.

This is especially the case if rear-

facing child restraint systems areused on the front passenger seat.

Selecting the right system

The rear seats are the mostconvenient location to fasten a childrestraint system. Children shouldtravel facing rearwards in the vehicle

as long as possible. This makes surethat the child's backbone, which is stillvery weak, is under less strain in theevent of an accident.

Children under the age of 12 yearsthat are smaller than 150 cm are onlyallowed to travel in a restraint systemthat is suitable for the child. Suitableare restraint systems that comply withECE 44-03 or ECE 44-04. Sincea proper position of the belt is rarelypossible with a child that is smaller than 150 cm, we strongly advise touse an appropriate child restraintsystem, even though this might, dueto the age of the child, no longer belegally binding.

Never hold a child whilst travelling inthe vehicle. The child will become too

heavy to be held in the event of a collision.

When transporting children, use thechild restraint systems suitable for thechild's weight.

Ensure that the child restraint systemto be installed is compatible with the

vehicle type.Ensure that the mounting location of the child restraint system within thevehicle is correct.

Only allow children to enter and exitthe vehicle at the side facing awayfrom the traffic.

When the child restraint system is notin use, secure the seat with a seat belt

or remove it from the vehicle.Note

Do not stick anything on the childrestraint systems and do not cover them with any other materials.

 A child restraint system which hasbeen subjected to stress in anaccident must be replaced.

When service is due, InSP appears inthe odometer display for approximately 10 seconds when theignition is switched on. Have the nextservice performed by a workshopwithin one week or 500 km(whichever occurs first).

Flexible service interval

The service interval is based onseveral parameters depending on

Display of remaining distance:

1. Switch off ignition.

2. Briefly press the trip odometer reset button. The odometer reading is shown.

3. Press and hold the reset button for approx. 2 seconds. InSP and theremaining distance are displayed.
