INSTALLING AN ISOFIX
CHILD CARSEAT
86) 87) 87) 88)
The rear side seats of the vehicle are
equipped with ISOFIX anchors, for
fitting child restraint systems quickly,
simply and safely. The ISOFIX system
lets you install the ISOFIX child
restraining system without using the car
seat belts but connecting them directly
to the carseat with three anchors in the
car.
Traditional child restraint systems can
be fitted alongside ISOFIX child restraint
systems on different seats in the same
vehicle.
To install an ISOFIX child restraint
system, attach it to the two metal
anchors 1 fig. 85 located behind the
cushion of the rear seat, in the point
where it meets the backrest, then fix the
upper hook of the child restraint system
to the dedicated anchor 2
fig. 86 located behind the seat
headrest.
As an example, fig. 88 shows an
example of a Universal ISOFIX child
restraint system for weight group 1.
IMPORTANT The fig. 88 is indicative
and for assembly purposes only. Fit the
child restraint system according to the
instructions, which must be included.NOTE When a Universal ISOFIX child
restraint system is used, only ECE R44
"ISOFIX Universal” (R44/03 or further
upgrades) type-approved child restraint
systems can be used (see fig. 87 ).
