Securing a child restraint system
with "ISOFIX" system and "Tether
Anchorage" system (if equipped)
ISOFIX is a standardised method of
fitting child seats that eliminates the
need to use the standard adult seat
belt to secure the seat in the vehicle.
This enables a much more secure
and positive location with the added
benefit of easier and quicker installa-
tion.
An ISOFIX-seat can only be installed
if it has vehicle-specific approval in
accordance with the requirements of
ECE-R44.
1SAE3090A
On each side of the rear seat,
between the cushion and backrest,
are located a pair of ISOFIX anchor-
age points together with a top tether
mounting on the inboard side of the
rear bumper in the luggage room.
During the installation, the seat has
to be engaged at the anchorage-
points in a way you can hear it click-
ing (check by pulling!) and has to be
fixed with the Top Tether-belt on the
belonging point on the inboard side
of the rear bumper in the luggage
room. The installing and the use of a
child-seat has to be done according
to the installing-manual, which is
added to the ISOFIX-seat.
Knowing your vehicle
WARNING
When using the vehicle's
"ISOFIX" system to install a
child restraint system in the rear
seat, all unused vehicle rear
seat belt metal latch plates or
tabs must be latched securely in
their seat belt buckles and the
seat belt webbing must be
retracted behind the child
restraint to prevent the child
from reaching and taking hold
of unretracted seat belts.
Unlatched metal latch plates or
tabs may allow the child to
reach the unretracted seat belts
which may result in strangula-
tion and a serious injury or
death to the child in the child
restraint.
