“ISOFIX” and Top Tether child seat mounting system* Child seats can be secured quickly, easily
and safely on the rear outer seats with the
“ISOFIX” and Top Tether* system.
Two “ISOFIX” retaining rings are fitted on
each rear seat. In some vehicles, the rings
are secured to the seat frame and, in others,
they are secured to the rear floor. Access to
the “ISOFIX” rings is between the rear seat
backrest and the seat cushioning. The Top
Tether* rings are located at the rear of the
backrests of the rear seats (behind the seat
backrest or in the boot).
To understand the compatibility of the "ISO-
FIX" systems in the vehicle, consult the table
below.
● The allowed body weight for the child seat
or information regarding size A

ted on the label on the child seat with certifi-
cation “

● 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
heard to engage securely. If the child seat
is equipped with Top Tether* anchor points,
secure it to the correspondent ring
››› Fig. 79
. Observe the manufacturer's in-
structions.
– Do a test by pulling both sides of the child
seat to ensure that it is properly anchored.
Child seats with the “ISOFIX” and Top Tether*
attachment system are available from Techni-
cal Services. Top Tether* retainer straps
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
Fig. 80
Retainer strap: correct adjustment
and fitting. Securing the Top Tether child restraint to the
anchor point situated on the rear of the
backrest
– Pull out the fastening belt of the child re-
straint seat according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
– Guide the Top Tether fastening belt under
the rear seat head restraint ››› Fig. 80 (lift
the he a

d restraint where necessary).
– Slide the belt so that the Top Tether belt of
the child restraint seat is correctly secured
to the anchor on the back of the rear seat
››› Fig. 79.
– Firmly

tighten the Top Tether belt following
the child restraint seat manufacturer's in-
structions. »

CAUTION
● To prevent damage to the engine, the rev
counter needle should only remain in the red
zone for a short period of time.
● When the engine is cold, avoid high revs
and heavy acceleration and do not make the
engine work hard. For the sake of the environment
Changing up a gear in time reduces fuel con-
sumption and noise. Rev counter
The rev counter indicates the number of en-
gine revolutions per minute
›››
Fig. 82 1 .
Together with the gear-change indicator, the
rev counter offers you the possibility of using
the engine of your vehicle at a suitable
speed.
The start of the red zone on the dial indicates
the maximum engine speed which may be
used briefly when the engine is warm and af-
ter it has been run in properly. Before reach-
ing this range, you should change to a higher
gear for vehicles with a manual gearbox or for
automatic gearboxes put the selector lever in
“D” or take your foot off the accelerator ped-
al. We recommend that you avoid high revs and
that you follow the recommendations on the
gear-change indicator. Consult the additional
information in
››› page 74, Gear-change in-
dicator . CAUTION
Never allow the rev counter needle 1 ›››
Fig. 82 to go into the red zone on the scale
f or mor
e than a very brief period, otherwise
there is a risk of engine damage. For the sake of the environment
Changing up a gear early will help you to save
fuel and minimise emissions and engine
noise. Displays on screen
