A rear-facing child restraint provides
restraint with the seating surface
against the back of the child. The har-
ness system holds the child in place,
and in an accident, acts to keep the
child positioned in the restraint and
reduce the stress to the fragile neck
and spinal cord.
All children under age one must
always ride in a rear-facing child
restraint. There are different types of
rear-facing child restraints: infant-only
seats can only be used rear-facing.
Convertible and 3-in-1 child restraints
typically have higher height and
weight limits for the rear-facing posi-
tion, allowing you to keep your child
rear-facing for a longer period of time.Keep using restraints in the rear-fac-
ing position as long as children fit
within the height and weight limits
allowed by the child restraint’s manu-
facturer. It’s the best way to keep them
safe. Once your child has outgrown
the rear-facing child restraint, your
child is ready for a forward-facing
child restraint with a harness.Forward-facing child restraints
A forward-facing child restraint pro-
vides restraint for the child’s body with
a harness. Keep children in a forward-
facing child restraint with a harness
until they reach the top height or
weight limit allowed by your child
restraint’s manufacturer.
Once your child outgrows the forward-
facing child restraint, your child is
ready for a booster seat.

Booster seats
A booster seat is a restraint designed
to improve the fit of the vehicle’s seat
belt system. A booster seat positions
the seat belt so that it fits properly
over the stronger parts of your child’s
body. Keep your children in booster
seats until they are big enough to fit in
a seat belt properly.
For a seat belt to fit properly, the lap
belt must lie snugly across the upper
thighs, not the stomach. The shoulder
belt should lie snug across the shoul-
der and chest and not across the neck
or face. Children under age 13 must
always ride in the rear seats and must
always be properly restrained to min-
imise the risk of injury in an accident,
sudden stop or sudden manoeuvre.
Installing a Child Restraint
System (CRS)After selecting a proper child
restraint and checking that the child
restraint fits properly in the rear of
this vehicle, you are ready to install
the child restraint according to the
manufacturer’s instruction. There are
three general steps in installing the
seat properly:
•Properly secure the child restraint
to the vehicle.All child restraints
must be secured to the vehicle with
the lap belt or lap part of a lap/shoul-
der belt or with the ISOFIX top-teth-
er anchorage and/or ISOFIX lower
anchorage (if equipped).
•Make sure the child restraint is
firmly secured.After installing a
child restraint to the vehicle, push
and pull the seat forward and from
side-to-side to verify that it is
securely attached to the seat. A
child restraint secured with a seat
belt should be installed as firmly as
possible. However, some side-to-
side movement can be expected. Before installing your child
restraint always:
•Read and follow the instruc-
tions provided by the manu-
facturer of the child restraint.
•Read and follow the instruc-
tions regarding child restraint
systems in this manual.
Failure to follow all warnings
and instructions could increase
the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH if an accident occurs.
WARNING
If the vehicle head restraint pre-
vents proper installation of a
child seat (as described in the
child seat system manual), the
head restraint of the respective
seating position shall be read-
justed or entirely removed.

•Secure the child in the child
restraint.Make sure the child is
properly strapped in the child
restraint according to the child
restraint manufacturer’s instructions.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 use the ISOFIX system in your
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.

ISOFIX lower anchorages have been
provided in the left and right outboard
rear seating positions. Their locations
are shown in the illustration. There
are no ISOFIX lower anchorages pro-
vided for the centre rear seating posi-
tion.The ISOFIX lower anchorages posi-
tion indicator symbols are located on
the left and right rear seat backs to
identify the position of the ISOFIX
lower anchorages in your vehicle (see
arrows in illustration).

Do not attempt to install a child
restraint system using ISOFIX
lower anchorages in the rear cen-
tre seating position. There are no
ISOFIX lower anchorages provid-
ed for this seat. Using the out-
board seat anchorages can dam-
age the anchorages which may
break or fail in a collision result-
ing in serious injury or death.

Both rear outboard seats are
equipped with a pair of ISOFIX lower
anchorages as well as a correspon-
ding top-tether anchorage on the
back side of the rear seats.
(CRS with universal approval to ECE-
R44 need to be fixed additionally with
a top-tether strap connected to the
corresponding top-tether anchorage
point on the back side of the rear
seats.)
ISOFIX lower anchorages are locat-
ed between the seatback and the
seat cushion of the rear seat left and
right outboard seating positions.Securing a child restraint with
the “ISOFIX Anchorages System”
To install an 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.Take the following precautions
when using the ISOFIX system:
•Read and follow all installation
instructions provided with
your child restraint system.
•To prevent the child from
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.
