Installation of infant and child restraint
systems
This vehicle is equipped with tether an-
chorages for a top tether strap at each of
the rear seating positions.
1Cover of top anchorage ring
Remove cover1 from anchorage ring.
Store cover1 in a convenient place
(e.g. glove box).
Guide tether strap between head re-
straint and top of seat back.Head restraints must be positioned such
that the top tether strap can pass freely
between the head restraint and top of seat
back.
Make sure the tether strap is not twist-
ed.
2Hook
3Anchorage ring
Securely fasten hook2, which is part
of the tether strap, to anchorage
ring3.
Children too big for a toddler restraint must
ride in seats using regular seat belts. Posi-
tion shoulder belt across chest and shoul-
der, not face or neck. A booster seat may be
necessary to achieve proper seat belt posi-
tioning for children over 41 lbs until they
reach a height where a lap/shoulder belt fits
properly without a booster.
When the child restraint is not in use,
remove it from the vehicle or secure it with
the seat belt to prevent the child restraint
from becoming a projectile in the event of
an accident.
Do not leave children unattended in the
vehicle, even if the children are secured in a
child restraint system. Unsupervised chil-
dren in a child restraint system may use
vehicle equipment and may cause an acci-
dent and/or serious personal injury.
iFor safety reasons, make sure hook2 has
attached to ring3 beyond the safety catch, as
illustrated.


61 Safety and Security
Occupant safety
Once the top tether anchorage hook is at-
tached, the child restraint itself can be se-
cured. Tighten the top tether strap
according to the child restraint manufac-
turer’s instructions.
Reinstall cover after removing the
tether strap.
Child seat anchors – LATCH type
This vehicle is equipped with two LATCH
(L
ower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren)
type anchors (at each of the rear seats) for
the installation of a LATCH child seat with
the matching anchor fittings. If you have not installed a child seat, the
LATCH anchors are hidden by an uphol-
stery cover.

loose during an accident which could result
in serious injury or death to the child.
Damaged or impact damaged child seats or
child seat mounting fittings must be re-
placed.
Do not leave children unattended in the ve-
hicle, even if the children are secured in a
child restraint system.

3Coordinate displayDisplay options with geo-coordinate dis-
play switched on
If the crosshair is displayed on the map
view (map was moved manually), only dis-
play 3 is visible.
It shows either the coordinates of the
crosshair or other data on the crosshair
position, e.g. a street name. The digital
map must contain relevant data in order
for this other data to be displayed.
iThe list shows all symbols that are contained
in the digital map across all states (USA) and/or
provinces (CDN). Not all POIs in all states (USA)
or in all provinces (CDN) are available, however.
Certain POI symbols may not be displayed on the
map, even if the symbol display is switched on. iThere must be sufficient GPS reception for
displays 1, 2 and 3 to be shown. Height dis-
play 1 is an approximation because the naviga-
tion system uses the GPS signals for the
calculation.
iIf there is no crosshair on the map view, dis-
plays 1, 2 and 3 are visible. Display 3
shows the coordinates of the current vehicle po-
sition.

Warning!G
According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seating positions than in the front seat-
ing position. Thus, we strongly recommend
that children be placed in the rear seats
whenever possible. Regardless of seating
position, children 12 years old and under
must be seated and properly secured in an
appropriately sized infant restraint, toddler
restraint, or booster seat recommended for
the size and weight of the child. For addi-
tional information, see “Children in the vehi-
cle” (
page 57).
A child’s risk of serious or fatal injuries is
significantly increased if the child restraints
are not properly secured in the vehicle and
the child is not properly secured in the child
restraint.
iIf PRE-SAFE® has been activated, the front
passenger’s seat will be moved to a more favor-
able seat position.
iThe memory function (page 357) lets you
store the settings for the seat positions together
with the settings for the steering wheel and the
exterior rear view mirrors.
!When moving the seat, make sure there are
no items in the footwell or behind the seats; oth-
erwise, you could damage the seats.
