FITTING AN ISOFIX
CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEM
82) 83) 84) 85)
The car is equipped with ISOFIX
anchorages, a new standard which
makes fitting a child restraint system
quick, simple and safe.
The ISOFIX system allows the ISOFIX
child restraint systems to be fitted,
without using the vehicle's seat belt,
but directly securing the child restraint
system to three anchorages present on
the vehicle. Traditional child restraint
systems can be fitted alongside ISOFIX
child restraint systems on different
seats in the same vehicle.
To install an ISOFIX child restraint
system, secure the restraint system to
the two metal anchorages A fig. 78
located where the rear seat cushion
meets the backrest, then fix the upper
strap (available together with the
restraint system) to the dedicated
anchorage B fig. 79 located at the
bottom behind the backrest.
500L Natural Power versions: should
the child restraint system anchorage
not be visible immediately, it is
recommended to remove the load
platform.
fig. 80 shows an example of a Universal
ISOFIX child restraint system for weight

NOTE When a Universal ISOFIX child
restraint system is used, only ECE R44
"ISOFIX Universal" (R44/03 or further
upgrades) type-approved child restraint
systems can be used.
