Securing a child restraint systemwith “ISOFIX” system and “TetherAnchorage” system (if equipped)
ISOFIX is a standardised method of fitting child seats that eliminates theneed to use the standard adult seat
belt to secure the seat in the vehicle.
This enables a much more secure
and positive location with the added
benefit of easier and quicker installa-tion. An ISOFIX-seat can only be installed
if it has vehicle-specific approval inaccordance with the requirements ofECE-R44. On each side of the rear seat,
between the cushion and backrest,are located a pair of ISOFIX anchor-age points together with a top tethermounting on the inboard side of the
rear bumper in the luggage room.
During the installation, the seat has
to be engaged at the anchorage-
points in a way you can hear it click-
ing (check by pulling!) and has to be
fixed with the Top Tether-belt on thebelonging point on the inboard side
of the rear bumper in the luggage
room. The installing and the use of achild-seat has to be done according
to the installing-manual, which isadded to the ISOFIX-seat.

WARNING
When using the vehicle’s
“ISOFIX” system to install a
child restraint system in the rear
seat, all unused vehicle rear
seat belt metal latch plates or
tabs must be latched securely in
their seat belt buckles and the
seat belt webbing must be
retracted behind the child
restraint to prevent the child
from reaching and taking holdof unretracted seat belts.
Unlatched metal latch plates or
tabs may allow the child to
reach the unretracted seat belts
which may result in strangula-
tion and a serious injury or
death to the child in the childrestraint.

To secure the child restraint seat
1. To engage the child restraint seat
to the ISOFIX anchor, insert the
child restraint seat latch into the
ISOFIX anchor. Listen for the audi-
ble “click” sound.
2. Connect the tether strap hook to the child restraint hook holder and
tighten to secure the seat. Refer to
“Securing a child restraint seat
with the “Tether Anchorage” sys-
tem” on page 3-52.

 Do not mount more than onechild restraint to a child
restraint lower anchorage
point. The improper increased
load may cause the anchorage
points or tether anchor to
break, causing serious injuryor death.

only to the appropriate loca-
tions shown in the illustration.

by the manufacturer of the
