ISOFIX anchoring points and the ISOFIX fastening system
The rear seats of your vehicle are equipped with ISOFIX anchoring points. These consist of 2 rings located between the backrest and the vehicle seat, approx. 28 cm apart.
ISOFIX child seats are equipped with 2 latches which are eay to attach to these rings. This fi xing system is intended for children weighing up to 18 kg.
Incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises protection of the child in the event of a collision. The ISOFIX system enables you to minimise the risks posed by incorrect fi tting. The ISOFIX fastening system gives you a convenient, strong and reliable fi tting for a child seat in your vehicle.
The recommended ISOFIX child seat (1) for your vehicle is:
The ISOFIX RÖMER Duo Plus (1):
This child seat has been approved for children between 9 – 18 kg. It can only be installed in the "forward-facing" position. The front seat must be adjusted so that the child’s feet are not touching the backrest of the front seat (slide the rear seat back as far as possible). The use of a t op belt is not necessary.
This child seat can also be installed in seat positions not fi tted with ISOFIX anchoring points. In this case, it must be secured to the seat by means of the vehicle seat belt.
(1): On the ISOFIX anchoring points of the vehicle, you can only attach the ISOFIX child seat approved for this vehicle.
