“ISOFIX” and Top Tether child seat mounting system* Child seats can be secured quickly, easily
and safely 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 secured to the rear floor. Access to
the “ISOFIX” rings is 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
backrest or in the boot).
To understand the compatibility of the "ISO-
FIX" systems in the vehicle, consult the table
below.
● The allowed body weight for the child seat
or information regarding size A

ted on the label on the child seat with certifi-

Fig. 79
Position of the Top Tether rings on the
back of the rear seat. Child seats with the Top Tether system come
with a strap for securing the seat to the vehi-
cle anchor point, located at the back of the
rear seat backrest and provide greater re-
straint.
The objective of this strap is to reduce for-
ward movements of the child seat in a crash,
to reduce the risk of injuries to the head from
hitting the inside of the vehicle.
Using the Top Tether in rear-facing mounted
seats
Currently, there are very few rear-facing child
safety seats that have Top Tether. Please
carefully read and follow the seat manufac-
turer instructions to learn the proper way to
install the Top Tether strap. Fitting the Top Tether child restraint to
the anchoring point

straint seat according to the manufacturer's
