Your vehicle has been approved in accordance
with the new
ISOFIX regulation
.
The seats, represented below, are fitted with
regulation ISOFIX mountings:
"ISOFIX" mountings
There are three rings for each seat:
- two rings A
, located between the vehicle
seat back and cushion, indicated by a label,
- a ring B
behind the seat for fixing the upper
strap, referred to as the To p Te t h e r
. This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in your
vehicle.
The incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child's
protection in the event of an accident.
For information regarding the ISOFIX child
seats which can be installed in your vehicle,
refer to the table showing the locations for
installing ISOFIX child seats. When fitting an ISOFIX child seat to
the left hand rear seat, before fitting
the seat, first move the centre rear seat
belt towards the middle of the vehicle,
so as to avoid the seat inter fering with
the operation of the seat belt.
The ISOFIX child seats
are fitted with two
latches which are secured on the two rings A
.
Some seats also have an upper strap
, known
as the Top Tether, which is attached to ring B
.
To attach this strap, raise the vehicle seat's
head restraint then pass the hook between its
rods. Then fix the hook on ring B
and tighten
the upper strap.
