Securing child seatsWays to secure a child seat
A child seat can be secured differently on th e rear seat and on the front passenger seat.You can secure a child seat to the rear seat or front passenger seat in the
following ways:•
Child seats in groups 0 to 3 can be secured with a seat belt.
•
Seats for children aged 0, 0+ and 1 with the “ISOFIX” system can be
secured without fastening seat belts, using the “ISOFIX” and/or Top Tether
securing rings ⇒page 52.
U: Suitable for universal approved rest raining systems for use in this age
category (universal retention systems are those fitted using the adult
seat belt).
*: Move the passenger seat as far to rear as possible, as high as possible and always deactivate the airbag.
L: Suitable for retention system s using the “ISOFIX” anchors.
WARNING
•
When travelling, children must be secured in the vehicle with a
restraint system suitable for age, weight and size.
•
Never install a child seat facing backwards (or rear-facing) on the front
passenger seat unless the front passenger airbag has been disabled. This
could cause fatal injuries to the child! However, if it is necessary, in excep- tional cases, to transport a child in the front passenger seat, the front
passenger airbag must always be disabled
⇒page 44, “Deactivating
airbags*” and move the seat to its h ighest position, in case it has this
adjustment.
•
Read and always observe information and warnings concerning the use
of child seats ⇒ in “Safety notes on using child seats” on page 46.

52Child seat mounting using the “ISOFIX” and/or Top Tether system
The Children restraint systems may be fitted with the “ISOFIX”
system and/or Top Tether (placed on the luggage compart-
ment cover) to the rear seat in a safe and quick way. The
passenger seat* is not equipped with Top Tether and so, the
“ISOFIX” system can only be used.
Following the instructions given by the child seat manufacturer
when installing and removing the seat.
– Fit the plastic guides on the vehicle's ISOFIX anchorages
between the backrest and the seat ⇒fig. 32.
– Slide the child seat anchorages along the plastic guides until secured in the car's ISOFIX rings (when correctly closed, you will
hear a “click” and the seat should also have a visual indicator to
confirm it is correctly secured) ⇒fig. 33 .
– Check that the ISOFIX system is correctly secured by pulling on the child seat.Detailed fitting instructions are supplied with the child safety seat.
Child seats with “ISOFIX” mountings are available from Dealers and specialist
retailers.

WARNING
The retainers employed for this child safety seat are specially designed for
the “ISOFIX” system. Never secure othe r child seats, seat belts or other
items into the retainers. If you do, you increase the risk of sustaining
severe or fatal injuries.Top Tether retainer straps
Some child restraint seats have a third anchoring point Top
Tether, apart from both “ISOFIX” anchoring points, which
allow a better child subjection.The Top Tether has an upper belt for the subjection to the vehicle upper
anchoring point, which is found on the rear luggage compartment cover. The retainer strap is used to reduce forwards movements of the safety seat in
a crash, helping reduce the risk of injuries to the head from hitting the inside
of the vehicle.
It is foreseen that the EU Board of Dire
ctors introduce requirements related to
the subjection of the children restra int systems by means of ISOFIX and Top
Tether anchorages (probably compulsory for new types from 2010), which will
entail a better subjection of the child restraint and less head movements in
case of frontal collisions.
Use of retainer straps on rear-facing seats
At present there are very few rear-facing child safety seats fitted with a
retainer strap. Please carefully read and follow the safety seat manufacturer's
instructions for information on how to install the retainer strap properly.
WARNING
An undue installation of the safety seat will increase the risk of injury in the
event of a crash.•
Never tie the retainer strap to a hook in the luggage compartment.
•
Never secure or tie the equipment or other items to the lower anchor-
ages (ISOFIX) or the upper ones (Top Tether).
