Securing a child seat using the seat belt

Read and follow the child seat manufacturer's instructions.

When placing the child seat on the front passenger seat, push the seat back as far as possible and adjust the backrest to an upright position .

Position the child seat on the seat according to the instructions given by the child seat manufacturer.

The seat belt height adjuster must be at the highest setting.

Fasten the seat belt or guide it through the child seat as described in the child seat manufacturer's instructions.

Ensure that the seat belt is not twisted.

Insert the latch plate into the buckle for the appropriate seat and push it down until it locks securely with a click.

In vehicles with lockable seat belts: pull the shoulder part of the belt all the way out and let the belt web roll up on the automatic belt retractor. The belt makes a clicking sound as it rolls up.

The upper part of the belt must lie snugly and fully over the child seat.

Pull the seat belt to check that the lower belt strap is locked and can no longer be pulled out.

In vehicles with lockable seat belts: secure any seat belts that are not being used out of the reach of the child in the child seat, by guiding the belt behind the head restraint on the neighbouring seat. When doing this, make sure that the locking mechanism of the seat belt is not triggered! The belt should not make a clicking sound as it rolls up. Let the belt web roll up on the automatic belt retractor.

Removing child seats

Unfasten seat belts only when the vehicle is stationary .

Press the red button in the buckle. The latch plate is released and springs out.

Guide the belt back by hand so that it rolls up easily, without twisting the seat belt and without damaging the trim.

Remove the child seat from the vehicle.

Unfastening seat belts while the vehicle is in motion can lead to severe or fatal injuries in the event of an accident or sudden braking or steering manoeuvre.

Unfasten seat belts only when the vehicle is stationary.
