LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint systems
do not offer sufficient protective effect for
children whose weight is greater than 48 lbs
(22 kg )who are secured usin gthe safety belt
integrated in th echild restraint system. In the
even tofana ccident, achild migh tnot be
restrained correctly. This poses an increased
risk of injury or even fatal injury.
If th echild weighs mor ethan48l bs (22 kg),
onl yuse LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint
systems with whic hthe child is also secured
with th evehicle seat belt .Also secur ethe child restraint system with the Top Tether
belt, if available.
When installing achild restraint system, be
sure to observe the manufacturer's
installation instructions and the instructions
for correc tuse of the child restraint system.

accident, heav
ybraking or sudden changes of
direction .Asaresult, child restraint systems
cannot perform their intended protective
function. Rear seat backrests that are not
locked can also cause additional injuries, e.g.
in the event of an accident. This poses an
increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Always lock rear seat backrests after
installing aTop Tether belt. Observe the lock
verification indicator. Adjust the rear seat
backrests so that they are positioned
vertically. Top Tether provides an additional connection
between achild restraint system, secured
with aLATCH-type (ISOFIX) child seat mount,
and the rear seat. This helps reduce the risk
of injury even further. If the child restraint
system is installed with Top Tether, this
should always be used.
The Top Tether anchorage points are installed
on the rear side of the rear seat backrests.
