Both rear outboard seats are
equipped with a pair of ISOFIX lower
anchorages as well as a correspon-
ding top-tether anchorage on the
back side of the rear seats.
(CRS with universal approval to ECE-
R44 need to be fixed additionally with
a top-tether strap connected to the
corresponding top-tether anchorage
point on the back side of the rear
seats.)
ISOFIX lower anchorages are locat-
ed between the seatback and the
seat cushion of the rear seat left and
right outboard seating positions.Securing a child restraint with
the “ISOFIX Anchorages System”
To install a ISOFIX-compatible child
restraint in either of the rear outboard
seating positions:
1. Move the seat belt buckle away
from the ISOFIX lower anchorages.
2. Move any other objects away from
the anchors that could prevent a
secure connection between the
child restraint and the ISOFIX lower
anchorages.
3. Place the child restraint on the vehi-
cle seat, then attach the seat to the
ISOFIX lower anchorages accord-
ing to the instructions provided by
the child restraint manufacturer.
4. Follow the child restraint instruc-
tions for properly adjusting and
tightening the lower attachments on
the child restraint to the ISOFIX
lower anchorages.Take the following precautions
when using the ISOFIX system:
•Read and follow all installation
instructions provided with
your child restraint system.
•To prevent the child from
reaching and taking hold of
unretracted seat belts, buckle
all unused rear seat belts and
retract the seat belt webbing
behind the child. Children can
be strangled if a shoulder belt
becomes wrapped around
their neck and the seat belt
tightens.
•NEVER attach more than one
child restraint to a single
anchorage. This could cause
the anchor or attachment to
come loose or break.
•Always have the ISOFIX sys-
tem inspected by your dealer
after an accident. An accident
can damage the ISOFIX sys-
tem and may not properly
secure the child restraint.
