When removing or fitting the child seat,
please be sure to follow the manufacturer's
instructions. ●
Move the r

will go.
● Press the child seat onto the “ISOFIX” re-

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).
Child seats with the “ISOFIX” and Top Tether*
attachment system are available from Techni-
cal Services.

edge is
at the same level as the top of your
head, or as close as possible to the same
level as the top of your head ››› Fig. 72.

use with “ISOFIX” and Top Tether* system
child seats.
● Never secure other child seats that do not

Child seats that have been tested and ap-
proved under the ECE R44 standard bear the
test mark on the seat (the letter E in a circle

Follow the manufacturer's instructions and
observe any statutory requirements when in-
