T

OP TETHER   for   securing   the   upper   strap.
The TOP TETHER   is   used   to   secure   the

a

rrangement   limits   the   for ward   tipping   of   the  
c

hild   seat   in   the   event   of   a   front   impact.
This
  ISOFIX   mounting   system   provides   fast,

-
 
two rings A ,   located   between   the   vehicle  s
eat   back   and   cushion,   indicated   by   a   label,
The ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two latches   which   are   secured   on   the   two   rings   A.
Some

o

nce   the   child   seat   has   been   removed),
-  
p
ass   the   child   seat   strap   over   the   top   of  
t

he   backrest   of   the   seat,   keeping   it   centred  
b

etween   the   head   restraint   apertures,
-  
s
ecure   the   hook   of   the   upper   strap   to   the  
r

ing   B
,
-  
t
ighten   the   upper   strap.
When   fitting   an   ISOFIX   child   seat   to   the   right  
h

and   rear   seat,   before   fixing   the   seat   in   place,  
f

irst   move   the   centre   rear   seat   belt   towards   the  
m

lt.
The   incorrect   installation   of   a   child   seat  
i

p

rotection   in   the   event   of   an   accident.
Follow   strictly   the   advice   given   in   the  
i

nstallation   instructions   provided   with  
t

he   child   seat.
