Transporting child

ren safely

Unlocking safety belt

Open the belt buckle.

Remove the child restraint system.

Allow the belt webbing to be pulled in com-
pletely.

LATCH child restraint fixing system

LATCH: Lower Anchor and Tethers for CHil-
dren.

Follow the system manufacturer's
instructions on installation and use of

LATCH child restraint systems in order not to
impair their protective function.

Before attaching the LATCH child's seat, pull
the belt away from the region of the child
restraint fixing system.

Make sure that the LATCH mounts have
properly clicked into place and that the

child restraint system is resting snugly against
the backrest. Otherwise, the protective action
may be impeded.

Rear seats

The anchor points for the LATCH anchors are
located at the positions indicated by arrows in
the gap between the seat and the backrest.

Rear seats with through-loading
system*

The anchor points for the LATCH anchors are
located behind the indicated protective caps.
Remove the cover caps before mounting the
child's seat.

Child restraint system with tether strap

Only use the tether-strap mounting
points to secure child restraint systems,

otherwise the mounting points could be dam-
aged.

There are three additional mounting points for
child restraint systems with a tether strap, refer
to arrows. Fold the corresponding mounting
point upward before using.

Placement of tether strap

Make sure that the upper retaining strap
is not routed over sharp edges and does

not twist on its way to the upper mounting point;
otherwise, the belt may not properly secure the
child restraint system in the event of an acci-
dent.
