ISOFIX anchorage and top-
tether anchorage (ISOFIX
anchorage system) for children
The ISOFIX system holds a Child Re‐
straint System during driving and in an accident. This system is designed to
make installation of the Child Restraint
System easier and reduce the possibili‐ ty of improperly installing your Child
Restraint System. The ISOFIX system
uses anchors in the vehicle and attach‐ ments on the Child Restraint System.
The ISOFIX system eliminates the need
to use seat belts to secure the Child Restraint System to the rear seats.
ISOFIX anchorages are metal bars built
into the vehicle. There are two lower
anchors for each ISOFIX seating posi‐ tion that will accommodate a Child Re‐
straint System with lower attach‐
ments. To use the ISOFIX system in your vehi‐
cle, you must have a Child Restraint
System with ISOFIX attachments.
The Child Restraint System manufac‐
turer will provide you with instructions on how to use the Child Restraint Sys‐
tem with its attachments for the ISO‐
FIX anchorages.

ing positions. Their locations are shown in the illustration.
