52 Seats, restraints

Selecting the right system

The rear seats are the most

convenient location to fasten a child

restraint system.

Children should travel facing

rearwards in the vehicle as long as

possible. This makes sure that the

child's backbone, which is still very

weak, is under less strain in the

event of an accident.

Children under the age of 12 years

that are smaller than 150 cm (5 ft)

are only allowed to travel in a

restraint system that is suitable for

the child. Since a proper position of

the belt is rarely possible with a child

that is smaller than 150 cm (5 ft), we

strongly advise the use of an

appropriate child restraint system,

even though this might, due to the

age of the child, no longer be legally

binding.

Never carry a child while travelling in

the vehicle. The child will become too

heavy to hold in the event of a

collision.

When transporting children, use the

child restraint systems suitable for

the child’s weight.

Ensure that the child restraint system

to be installed is compatible with the

vehicle type.

Ensure that the mounting location of

the child restraint system within the

vehicle is correct.

Only allow children to enter and exit

the vehicle at the side facing away

from the traffic.

When the child restraint system is

not in use, secure the seat with a

safety belt or remove it from the

vehicle.

Note

Do not stick anything on the child

restraint systems and do not cover

them with any other materials.

{Warning

When using a child restraint

system on the front passenger

seat, the airbag systems for the

front passenger seat must be

deactivated; if not, the triggering of

the airbags poses a risk of fatal

injury to the child.

This is especially the case if

rearfacing child restraint systems

are used on the front passenger

seat.
