Child seats can be secured quickly, easily

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 sec
ured to the rear floor. The “ISO-
FIX” rings are located 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
back
rest or in the boot).
To understand the compatibility of the "ISO-

onds if you unlock the vehicle but fail to open
any door or boot hatch.
