Seats, restraints53
In addition to the ISOFIX mounting
brackets, fasten the Top-tether strap
to the Top-tether fastening eyes.
Remove the load compartment cover before mounting a child restraint
system, if required 3 61.
ISOFIX child restraint systems of
universal category positions are
marked in the table by IUF 3 54.
Selecting the right system The rear seats are the most
convenient location to fasten a child
restraint system.
Children should travel facing
rearwards in the vehicle as long as
possible. This makes sure that the child's backbone, which is still very
weak, is under less strain in the event
of an accident.
Suitable are restraint systems that
comply with valid UN ECE
regulations. Check local laws and
regulations for mandatory use of child restraint systems.
The following child restraints are
recommended for the following
weight classes:Group 0, Group 0+
Maxi Cosi Cabriofix with or without
ISOFIX base, for children up to
13 kg.Group I
Duo Plus with ISOFIX and TOP
tether, for children from 9 kg to 18 kg.Group II, Group III
Kidfix XP with or without ISOFIX for
children from 15 kg to 25 kg.
Graco Junior for children from 22 kg
to 36 kg.Ensure that the child restraint system to be installed is compatible with the
vehicle type.
Ensure that the mounting location of
the child restraint system within the
vehicle is correct, see following
tables.
Allow children to enter and exit the
vehicle only on the side facing away
from the traffic.
When the child restraint system is not
in use, secure the seat with a seat belt or remove it from the vehicle.
Note
Do not affix anything on the child
restraint systems and do not cover
them with any other materials.
A child restraint system which has
been subjected to stress in an
accident must be replaced.
