Fig. 173 Schematic overview: keep unused safety belts
away from children in child safety seats. A - outer rear
safety belt, B - center rear safety belt
If a child safety seat is used on the rear bench, especially with LATCH universal lower anchorages, the unused safety belts must be secured so that the child in the child restraint cannot reach them.
- Guide the safety belt webbings A and B behind the head restraint of the seat where the child restraint is installed > fig. 173. When doing so, do not engage the convertible locking retractor! You should not hear a "clicking" sound when winding up the safety belt.
- Let the belt retractor wind up the safety belt webbing.
WARNING
A child in a child safety seat installed with the LATCH lower anchorages or with the standard safety belt or a child in a booster seat on the rear seat could play with unused rear seat safety belts and become entangled. This could cause the child serious personal injury and even death.
- Always secure unused rear seat safety belts out of reach of children in child seats such as by properly routing them around the head restraint of the seat where the child restraint is installed.
- Never activate the convertible locking retractor when routing the safety belts around the head restraints.
- Never let anyone sit at the center rear seating position if the center rear safety belt has been routed around a rear head restraint.
