Seats, restraints65Top-Tether anchorsTop-Tether anchors are located on
the back of the seat.
In addition to the ISOFIX mounting
brackets, fasten the Top-Tether strap
to the Top-Tether anchors. The strap
must run between the two guide rods of the head restraint.
ISOFIX child restraint systems of
universal category positions are
marked in the table by IUF 3 66.
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 makes sure 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.
Ensure that the mounting location of
the child restraint system within the
vehicle is correct, see following
tables.
Allow children to enter and exit the
vehicle only on the side facing away
from the traffic.
When the child restraint system is not in use, secure the seat with a seat beltor remove it from the vehicle.
Notice

restraint systems and do not cover
them with any other materials.A child restraint system which has
been subjected to stress in an
