Securing a Child Restraint System seat with "ISOFIX top tether anchorage" system : (if equipped)

OSW025025
OSW025025L

Child restraint system tether anchorages are located on the back of the rear cushions.

  1. Route the ISOFIX top tether anchorage over the seatback. For vehicles with adjustable headrest, route the top tether under the headrest and between the headrest posts, otherwise route the top tether over the top of the seatback. In case of interference between the child restraint system and the headrest remove the particular head restraint for better fitment of the child restraint system.

  2. Connect and tighten the ISOFIX top tether strap to the corresponding child restraint system to secure the child restraint system.

WARNING

A child can be seriously injured or killed in a collision if the child restraint system is not properly anchored to the car and the child is not properly restrained in the child restraint system. Always follow the child restraint system manufacturer's instructions for installation and use.

WARNING

Top tether

Never mount more than one child restraint system to a single top tether or to a single top tether anchorage point. The increased load caused by multiple child restraint system may cause the top tethers or anchorage points to break, causing serious injury or death.

WARNING

Do not use the relaxion mode after installing the Child Restraint System or install the Child Restraint System in the relaxion mode. A child can be seriously injured or killed in a collision.

WARNING

Child restraint system check

Check that the child restraint system is secure by pushing and pulling it in different directions. Incorrectly fitted child restraint systems may swing, twist, tip or separate causing death or serious injury.

WARNING

Child restraint system anchorage

  • Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seatbelts, harnesses, or for attaching other items or equipment to the vehicle.

  • The top tether may not work properly if attached somewhere other than the correct tether anchor.
