on the centre line of the seating position as shown in Fig 3.
Before drilling the hole, check the underside for accessibility.

that this installation be carried out by a child restraint fitting
station or licenced motor mechanic.
For vehicles other than Sedans - In Australia, consult your
nearest child restraint fitting station or traffic authority for vehicle
inspection to find the preferred position for the placement of
the upper anchorage point, and for the correct attachment bolt
length and use of spacers. In New Zealand, consult the agent
for the vehicle. Note to Queensland purchasers: The installation
of anchorage points must be approved by authorised officers
appointed by Queensland Transport. Authorised officers can be
sourced from all Queensland Transport Customer Service and
