Transporting children safely

Vehicle equipment

All standard, country-specific and optional

equipment that is offered in the model series is

described in this chapter. Therefore, equip‐

ment is also described that is not available in a

vehicle, e. g., because of the selected optional

equipment or country variant. This also applies

for safety-related functions and systems.

The right place for children

Note

Children in the vehicle

Do not leave children unattended in the

vehicle; otherwise, they could endanger them‐

selves and other persons, e.g., by opening the

doors.◀

Children should always be in the rear

Accident research shows that the safest place

for children is in the back seat.

Transporting children in the rear

Only transport children younger than

13 years of age or shorter than 5 ft/150 cm in

the rear in child restraint fixing systems pro‐

vided in accordance with the age, weight and

size of the child; otherwise, there is an in‐

creased risk of injury in an accident.

Children 13 years of age or older must wear a

safety belt as soon as a suitable child restraint

fixing system can no longer be used, due to

their age, weight and size.◀

Children on the front passenger seat

Should it ever be necessary to use a child re‐

straint fixing system in the front passenger

seat, make sure that the front, knee and side

airbags on the front passenger side are deacti‐

vated. Automatic deactivation of front passen‐

ger airbags, refer to page 98.

Note

Deactivated front passenger airbags

If a child restraint fixing system is used in

the front passenger seat, the front passenger

airbags must be deactivated; otherwise, there

is an increased risk of injury to the child when

the airbags are triggered, even with a child re‐

straint fixing system.◀

Installing child restraint

fixing systems

Before mounting

Before mounting child restraint fixing systems,

ensure that the rear seat backrests are locked.

Hints

Manufacturer's information for child re‐

straint fixing systems

To select, mount and use child restraint fixing

systems, observe the information provided by

the system manufacturer; otherwise, the pro‐

tective effect can be impaired.◀

Lock the rear seat backrests in position

Before installation of child restraint sys‐

tems on the rear seat backrest, set a backrest

tilt at which the childseat rests firmly against

the backrest and securely latch all backrests.

Otherwise, the stability of the child seat is lim‐

ited, and there is an increased risk of injury be‐

cause of unexpected movement of the rear

seat backrest.◀
