brackets, fasten the Top-tether strap
to the Top-tether anchors.

universal category positions are
marked in the table by IUF 3 48.
Selecting the right system The rear seats are the most
convenient location to fasten a child
restraint system.
Children should travel facing
rearwards in the vehicle as long as
possible. This ensures that the child's
backbone, which is still very weak, is
under less strain in the event of an
accident.
Suitable are restraint systems that
comply with valid UN ECE
regulations. Check local laws and
regulations for mandatory use of child restraint systems.
Ensure that the child restraint system
to be installed is compatible with the
vehicle type.

pages, the instructions supplied with
the child restraint system and the
vehicle type list of non-universal child restraint systems.

Ensure that the mounting location of
the child restraint system within the

restraint systems and do not cover

extended and the vehicle is fully
loaded, the chassis clearance will
be reduced.

attaching bicycles with carbon
frames. The bicycles might get
damaged.
