Lower anchors for ISOFIX-equipped child seats are located in the rear, o\
utboard seats, hidden below the
backrest cushions. Symbols on the seat back upholstery mark the anchor p\
ositions (see the illustration
above).
To access the anchors:
1. Put the child restraint in position.
2. Kneel on the child restraint to press down the seat cushion and locat\
e the anchors by feel.
3. Fasten the attachment on the child restraint's lower straps to the IS\
OFIX lower anchors.
4. Firmly tension the lower child seat straps according to the manufactu\
rer's instructions.
NOTE:
l The rear seat's center position is not equipped with ISOFIX lower anchor\
s. When installing a child
restraint in this position, attach the restraint's top tether strap (if\
it is so equipped) to the top tether
anchorage point (see the information on
page 39) and secure the restraint with the vehicle's center seat
belt (see the information beginning on
page 31).
l Always follow your child seat manufacturer's installation instructions, \
and use both ISOFIX lower
anchors and top tethers whenever possible.
WARNING!
Be sure to fasten the attachment correctly to the anchor (see the illus\
tration above). If the attachment
is not correctly fastened, the child restraint may not be properly secur\
ed in the event of a collision.
