Note: Lower ISOFIX anchors should not be
used with child seats or booster seats that
have an integrated safety belt in situations
where the combined weight of the child plus the child restraint is more than 33 kg. In thesesituations, use the safety belt instead.
Attaching Upper Tether Straps
If an upper tether strap is provided, attach its
hook to the anchor point located on the back of the second and third row seats.
Note: The location of anchor points may not
be readily visible but can be found by
identifying a slice in the seat

For single-strap tethers, position the strap in
the outboard seating positions over the outside-facing side of the head restraint (i.e.
same side of the head restraint as the seat belt
retraction mechanism). In the center seating
position (if equipped), center and position the
strap over the top of the head restraint.

Testing a Child Safety Seat
Before seating a child, always make sure the
child safety seat is not loose:
1. Hold the child safety seat by the belt path
and try to slide the safety seat from side
to side and front to back.
2. If the seat moves more than 2.5 cm, it is
too loose. Tighten the belt or reconnect
the ISOFIX retained child safety seat.
3. If you are unable to reduce slack, try a
different seat location or try another child
safety seat.
