s tr

sy s

tem mounting using the vehicle seat belt.
The seat belt may be used to secure univer-
sal type child seats to the vehicle seats
marked with a U in the table below.
● In the passenger seat without height ad-
justmen
t: It is necessary to place the passen-
ger seat in its rearmost position 1)
. ●
In the pas
senger seat with height adjust-
ment: It is necessary to place the passenger
seat in its rearmost and highest position 1)
.
To correctly use a child seat in the back, the
front backrest must be adjusted so that there
is no contact with the child seat in the back
in the case that it goes opposite to the direc-
tion of the car. In the case of front facing re-
straint systems, the front backrest must be
adjusted so that there is no contact with the
child's feet. To adjust the passenger seat to accommo-
dat
e a child's seat and get the seat belt in a
perfect position, adjust the passenger back-
rest as far forward as possible. 1)
.
If a semi-universal type chair is to be instal-
led, in which the method of attachment to
the car is through the seat belt and support
bracket, it should never be installed in the
central rear seat as the ground clearance is
lower than in other places and the support
bracket will not allow the seat to remain suffi-
ciently stable. 1)
Compliance with current national legislation and
the m anuf

acturer's instructions is required when us-
ing or installing child seats. 18

››› in Safety instructions on page 81 “ISOFIX” and Top Tether child seat mounting system*
Child seats can be secured quickly, easily
and s
af

ely 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. The “ISO-
FIX” ring
s are located between the rear seat
backrest and the seat cushioning ››› Fig. 31.
The Top Tether* rings are located on the rear
part of the backrests of the rear seats (be-
hind the seat backrest or in the boot)
››› Fig. 32. To understand the compatibility of the "ISO-
FIX" sys
tems in the vehicle, consult the table
below. » 19

The essentials
Attachment of the child seat with the

Tether* retainer straps Fig. 32
Position of the Top Tether rings on the
b ac

k of the rear seat. Child seats with the Top Tether system come
w
ith a s

trap 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. Securing the Top Tether* to the an-
