Child restraints

Child restraint systems

When a child restraint system is being used, pay attention to the following usage and installation instructions and also those supplied with the child restraint system.

Always comply with local or national regulations. In some countries, the use of child restraint systems is forbidden on certain seats.

9 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.

Seats, restraints 45

Selecting the right system

Children should travel facing backwards in the vehicle, until as old as possible. It is appropriate to change the system when the child’s head can no longer be properly supported at eye height. The child’s cervical vertebrae are still very weak and in an accident they suffer less stress in the semi-prone rearward position than when sitting upright.

Children under 12 years or under 150 cm tall should only travel in an appropriate child restraint system.

Never hold a child whilst travelling in the vehicle. The child will become too heavy to be held 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 seat 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.

A child restraint system which has been subjected to stress in an accident must be replaced.

■ The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, parking brake and gear selector, or hinder the freedom of movement of the driver. Do not place any unsecured objects in the interior.

■ Do not drive with an open load compartment.

■ The payload is the difference between the permitted gross vehicle weight (see identification plate 3 186) and the EC kerb weight.

To calculate the EC kerb weight, enter the data for your vehicle in the Weights table on page 3 3.

The EC kerb weight includes weights for the driver (68 kg), luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (tank 90 % full).

Optional equipment and accessories increase the kerb weight.

■ Driving with a roof load increases the sensitivity of the vehicle to cross-winds and has a detrimental effect on vehicle handling due to the vehicle’s higher centre of gravity. Distribute the load evenly and secure it properly with retaining straps. Adjust the tyre pressure and vehicle speed according to the load conditions. Check and retighten the straps frequently.

The permissible roof load is 75 kg. The roof load is the combined weight of the roof rack and the load.
