integrated seat belt integrated in the child
restraint system, the permissible gross mass
of the child and child restraint system is 73 lb
(33 kg).
If the child and the child restraint system
together weigh more than 73 lb (33 kg), the
LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint system
with integrated seat belt does not offer suffi‐
cient protection. An excessive load may be
placed on the LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child seat
attachments and the child may not be
restrained in the event of an accident, for
example.
If the child and the child restraint sys‐
#
tem together weigh more than 73 lb
(33 kg), only use a LATCH-type (ISOFIX)
child restraint system which secures the
child with the vehicle seat belt.
Also secure the child restraint system
#
with the Top Tether belt, if available.
Always comply with the information about the
mass of the child restraint system:
in the manufacturer's installation and operat‐
R
ing instructions for the child restraint system
used
on a label on the child restraint system, if
R
available
Check regularly that the permissible gross mass
of the child plus the child restraint system is not
exceeded.
When installing a child restraint system, be sure
to observe the manufacturer's installation and
operating instructions as well as the correct use
of the child restraint system and the suitability of
the seats.

LATCH-type (ISOFIX) mounting brackets
Before every trip, make sure that the LATCH-type
(ISOFIX) child restraint system is engaged cor‐
rectly in both LATCH-type (ISOFIX) mounting
brackets in the vehicle.
* NOTE Be careful not to damage the seat
belt for the center seat when installing
the child restraint system
Make sure that the seat belt is not trap‐
#
ped.
Install the LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint
#
system on both of the vehicle's mounting
brackets.
Securing Top Tether
& WARNING Risk of injury due to incorrect
attachment of the Top Tether belt
If you attach the Top Tether belt incorrectly,
e.g. on an eyelet in the cargo compartment,
the child restraint system will not have been
secured correctly.
In an accident, it will therefore be unable to
provide the intended level of protection.
Only ever attach the Top Tether hook to
#
the designated Top Tether anchorage.
The risk of injury can be reduced by Top Tether.
The Top Tether belt facilitates an additional con‐
nection between the child restraint system
attached with LATCH-type (ISOFIX) and the vehi‐
cle.
The child restraint system must be equipped with
a Top Tether belt.
