Only child restraints certified to ECE-R129

When using a child restraint on a front seat,

follow these seat positioning guidelines:

•

The child restraint must not be in

contact with the instrument panel.

Position the passenger seat as far

rearward as possible and route the

seatbelt forward and downward from

the B-pillar ring to the child restraint.

If it proves difficult to tighten the lap

section of the seatbelt without slack

remaining, adjust the seat backrest to

the fully upright position and raise the

height of the seat.

WARNING:Extreme Hazard! Never

use a rearward facing child restraint on

a seat protected by an active airbag in

front of it. Death or serious injury to the

child can occur.

WARNING: You must switch the

passenger airbag off when using a

rearward facing child restraint on the

front seat.

Note: When using a child restraint on a rear

seat, adjust the front seat to a position to

prevent contact with the child's feet or legs.

WARNING: You must switch the

passenger airbag on following the

removal of the child restraint.

correct mass group and ISOFIX size class

for the intended seating locations. See
