The right place for children
Safety information
Warning
Unattended children or animals in the ve-
hicle can cause the vehicle to move and
endanger themselves and traffic, for exam-
ple, due to the following actions:
– Establishing standby.
– Releasing the parking brake.
– Opening and closing the doors or
windows.
– Engaging selector lever position N.
– Using vehicle equipment.
There is a risk of accident, injury, or prop-
erty damage. Do not leave children or ani-
mals unattended in the vehicle. Take the
vehicle key with you when exiting and
lock the vehicle.
Warning
A hot vehicle may result in death to per-
sons, especially children, or animals. There
is a risk of injury or danger to life. Do
not leave people, especially children, or an-
imals unattended in the vehicle.
Warning
Exposure to intense sunlight can cause
child restraint systems and their compo-
nents to become very hot. Persons may
sustain burn injuries when touching the
hot components. There is a risk of injury.
Do not expose the child restraint system to
direct sunlight or cover where necessary.
If necessary, let the child restraint system
cool down before transporting a child. Do
not leave children unattended in the vehi-
cle.
Children in the rear seat
General information
Accident research shows that the safest
place for children is in the rear seat.
Children younger than 13 years of age or
shorter than 5 ft/150 cm should be trans-
ported in the rear seat in suitable child re-
straint systems designed for the age, weight
and size of the child. Children 13 years of
age or older must wear a seat belt as soon
as a suitable child restraint system can no
longer be used due to their age, weight, or
size.
