er seats with the
“ISOFIX” and Top Tether* system.
Two “ISOFIX” retaining rings are fitted on each
rear side seat. In some vehicles, the rings are
secured to the seat frame and, in others, they
are secured to the rear floor. The “ISOFIX” rings are located between the rear seat
backrest and the seat cushioning

The essentials
Securing a child seat with the Top
T ether* r
et
aining strapsFig. 41
Retainer strap: correct adjustment and
fitting. Fig. 42
Rear part of the rear seats: securing
rings for the T op T

ether strap. Child seats with the Top Tether system come
with a str
ap f
or securing the seat t

o the vehi-
cle anchor point, located at the back of the
rear seat backrest and provide greater re-
straint.
The objective of this strap is to reduce for-
ward movements of the child seat in a crash,
to reduce the risk of injuries to the head from
hitting the inside of the vehicle.
Using the Top Tether in rear-facing moun-
ted seats
Currently, there are very few rear-facing child
safety seats that have Top Tether. Please
carefully read and follow the seat manufac-
turer instructions to learn the proper way to
install the Top Tether strap. Securing the retainer strap

Airbag system
Deactivate the front passenger front airbag
only if you hav e t
o use a r
ear-facing child
seat in the front passenger seat.
SEAT recommends fitting the child seat in the
rear seat to avoid having to deactivate the
front passenger airbag.
Front passenger front airbag switch
When the front passenger airbag is deacti-
vated, this means that only the front passen-
ger front airbag is deactivated. All the other
airbags in the vehicle remain activated.
Disconnect the front passenger front air-
bag

Transporting children safely
Therefore we strongly recommend you to
tr ansport chil
dr
en on the rear seats. This is
the safest location in the vehicle. Alternative-
ly, the front passenger airbag can be disa-
bled with a key-operated switch

Safety
WARNING
The retaining rings are designed only for
use with “ISOFIX” and Top T ether* syst
em
child seats.
