● The retaining rings are designed only for
use with “ISOFIX” and Top Tether* system
child seats.
● Never secure other child seats that do not
have the “ISOFIX” or Top Tether* system, or
retaining belts or objects to the fastening
rings - this can result in potentially fatal inju-
ries to the child. ●
Ensure that the child seat is secured cor-
rectly using the “ISOFIX” and Top Tether* se-
curing rings. 60

ISOFIX securing rings. When removing or fitting the child seat,
please be sure to follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
– Remove the protective caps of the “ISOFIX”
rings by placing a finger in the hole and
pulling up ››› Fig. 78 .
– Pr e
ss the child seat onto the “ISOFIX” re-
taining rings until the child seat can be

seat to ensure that it is properly anchored.
Child seats with the “ISOFIX” and Top Tether*
attachment system are available from Techni-

Fig. 79
Position of the Top Tether rings on the
back of the rear seat. Child seats with the Top Tether system come
with a strap for securing the seat to 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 mounted
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. Fitting the Top Tether child restraint to
the anchoring point
