"ISOFIX" mountingsThe vehicle has been approved in accordance
with the latest ISOFIX regulation.

by an "ISOFIX" marking,
-
I
f fitted to your vehicle, a rear ring B called
the Top Tether and located behind the
vehicle's seat, for securing the upper strap,
as indicated by a "Top Tether" marking.
The Top Tether is used to secure the upper
strap of child seats that have one. This system
prevents the child seat from tipping for ward in
the event of a front impact.
This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in your
vehicle. For information on the possibilities for
installing ISOFIX child seats in your
vehicle, refer to the summary table.
The ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two
latches which are secured on the two front
rings A
.
Some child seats also have an upper strap
which is attached to rear ring B .
To secure the child seat to the Top Tether:
-
r
emove and stow the head restraint before
installing a child seat on this seat (refit it
once the child seat has been removed),
-
r
un the strap of the child seat behind the top
of the seat backrest, centring it between the
holes for the head restraint rods,
-
a
ttach the hook of the upper strap to rear
ring B ,
-
t
ighten the upper strap.
The incorrect installation of a child seat in
a vehicle compromises the protection of
the child in the event of an accident.
Strictly follow the fitting instructions
provided in the installation guide supplied
