ISOFIX lower anchorage and
top-tether anchorage (ISOFIX
anchorages system) for children
(if equipped)
The ISOFIX system holds a child
restraint during driving and in an acci-
dent. This system is designed to
make installation of the child restraint
easier and reduce the possibility of
improperly installing your child
restraint. The ISOFIX system uses
anchors in the vehicle and attach-
ments on the child restraint. The
ISOFIX system eliminates the need
to use seat belts to secure the child
restraint to the rear seats.
Lower anchors are metal bars built
into the vehicle. There are two lower
anchors for each ISOFIX seating
position that will accommodate a
child restraint with lower attachments.
To u s e t h e I S O F I X s y s t e m i n y o u r
vehicle, you must have a child
restraint with ISOFIX attachments.
(An ISOFIX-seat may only be installed
if it has vehicle-specific or universal
approval in accordance with the
requirements of ECE-R 44.)
The child restraint manufacturer will
provide you with instructions on how
to use the child restraint with its
attachments for the ISOFIX lower
anchorages.
A child restraint in a closed
vehicle can become very hot. To
prevent burns, check the seat-
ing surface and buckles before
placing your child in the child
restraint.

Safety system of your vehicle
ISOFIX lower anchorages are locat-
ed between the seatback and the
seat cushion of the rear seat left and
right outboard seating positions.
To use the ISOFIX lower anchor-
ages, push the upper portion of the
ISOFIX lower anchorage cover.
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.
Ta k e t h e f o l l o w i n g p r e c a u t i o n s
when using the ISOFIX system:
•Read and follow all installation
instructions provided with
your child restraint system.
•To p r e v e n t t h e c h i l d f r o m
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.

when installing the top-tether
strap:
•Read and follow all installation
instructions provided with

strap to anything other than
the correct ISOFIX top-tether
anchorage. It may not work
properly if attached to some-
thing else.

designed to withstand only
those loads imposed by cor-
rectly fitted child restraints.

they to be used for adult seat
belts or harnesses or for
attaching other items or
equipment to the vehicle.

To install a child restraint system on
the rear seats, do the following:
1. Place the child restraint system on
a rear seat and route the lap/shoul-
der belt around or through the
