2. Route the tether strap to provide themost direct path for the strap between
the anchor and the child seat. If your
vehicle is equipped with adjustable rear
head restraints, raise the head restraint,
and where possible, route the tether
strap under the head restraint and
between the two posts. If not possible,
lower the head restraint and pass the
tether strap around the outboard side of
the head restraint.
Tether Anchorage Locations
3. Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the top tether anchorage as
shown in the diagram.
4. Remove slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufac -
turer’s instructions.
How To Stow An Unused Switchable-ALR
(ALR) Seat Belt:
When using the ISOFIX attaching system to
install a child restraint, stow all ALR seat
belts that are not being used by other occu -
pants or being used to secure child
restraints. An unused belt could injure a
child if they play with it and accidentally lock
the seat belt retractor. Before installing a
child restraint using the ISOFIX system,
buckle the seat belt behind the child
restraint and out of the child’s reach. If the
buckled seat belt interferes with the child
restraint installation, instead of buckling it
behind the child restraint, route the seat belt through the child restraint belt path and then
buckle it. Do not lock the seat belt. Remind
all children in the vehicle that the seat belts
are not toys and that they should not play
with them.
Installing Child Restraints Using The Vehicle
Seat Belt
Child restraint systems are designed to be
secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or the
lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt.
The seat belts in the rear passenger seating
positions are equipped with a Switchable
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) that is
designed to keep the lap portion of the seat
belt tight around the child restraint. The ALR
retractor can be “switched” into a locked
mode by pulling all of the webbing out of the
retractor and then letting the webbing retract
WARNING!
An incorrectly anchored tether strap
could lead to increased head motion and
possible injury to the child. Use only the
anchorage position directly behind the
child seat to secure a child restraint top
tether strap.
If your vehicle is equipped with a split
rear seat, make sure the tether strap
does not slip into the opening between
the seatbacks as you remove slack in the
strap.
WARNING!
Improper installation or failure to prop
-
erly secure a child restraint can lead to
failure of the restraint. The child could
be badly injured or killed.
Follow the child restraint manufacturer’s
directions exactly when installing an
infant or child restraint.

back into the retractor. If it is locked, the
ALR will make a clicking noise while the
webbing is pulled back into the retractor.
Refer to the “Automatic Locking Mode”
description in “Switchable Automatic
Locking Retractors (ALR)” under “Occupant
Restraint Systems” for additional informa-
tion on ALR.
Installing A Child Restraint With A
Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR)
Child restraint systems are designed to be
secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or the
lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt. 1. Place the child seat in the center of the
seating position. For some second row
seats, you may need to recline the seat
and/or raise the head restraint to get a
better fit. If the rear seat can be moved
forward and rearward in the vehicle, you
may wish to move it to its rear-most posi -
tion to make room for the child seat. You
may also move the front seat forward to
allow more room for the child seat.
2. Pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to pass it through the
belt path of the child restraint. Do not
twist the belt webbing in the belt path.
3. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.”
4. Pull on the webbing to make the lap portion tight against the child seat. 5. To lock the seat belt, pull down on the
shoulder part of the belt until you have
pulled all the seat belt webbing out of the
retractor. Then, allow the webbing to
retract back into the retractor. As the
webbing retracts, you will hear a clicking
sound. This means the seat belt is now in
the Automatic Locking mode.
6. Try to pull the webbing out of the retractor. If it is locked, you should not
be able to pull out any webbing. If the
retractor is not locked, repeat step 5.
7. Finally, pull up on any excess webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child
restraint while you push the child
restraint rearward and downward into the
vehicle seat.
8. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the
child seat at the belt path. It should not
move more than 25 mm in any direction.
Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so
check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight
if necessary.
WARNING!
Improper installation or failure to prop -
erly secure a child restraint can lead to
failure of the restraint. The child could
be badly injured or killed.
Follow the child restraint manufacturer’s
directions exactly when installing an
infant or child restraint.

Suitability of Passenger Seats for i-Size
Child Restraint System Use
The rear outboard seats of the vehicle are
type-approved to house the state-of-the-art
i-Size child restraint systems.
These child restraint systems, built and
type-approved according to the i-Size (ECE
R129) standard, ensure better safety condi-
tions to carry children on board a vehicle:
The child must be transported rearward
facing until 15 months:
Child restraint system protection is
increased in the event of a side collision:
The use of the ISOFIX system is promoted
to avoid faulty installation of the child
restraint system:
Efficiency in the choice of the child
restraint system, which isn't made
according to weight anymore but
according to the child's height, is
increased:
Compatibility between the vehicle seats
and the child restraint systems is better:
the i-Size child restraint systems can be
considered as "Super ISOFIX"; this means
that they can be perfectly fitted in
type-approved i-Size seats, but can also be
fitted in ISOFIX (ECE R44) type-approved
seats.
NOTE:
The vehicle seats, i-Size type-approved, are
marked by the symbol shown in Figure XX.
The following table, according to European
standard ECE 129, indicates the possibility
of i-Size child restraint system installation. Key of letters used in the table above:
i-U = Suitable for Universal i-Size child
restraint systems, both rearward facing
and forward facing.
X = Seat not suitable for Universal i-Size
child restraint systems.
