Securing a Top Tether
& WARNING Risk of injury or death if the
rear seat backrests are not locked after
installing Top Tether belts
The rear seat backrests may fold forwards
when driving.
In this case, child restraint systems may no
longer perform their intended protective
function. Additional injuries may also be
caused.
Always lock rear seat backrests after
#
installing Top Tether belts.
Pay attention to the lock verification
#
indicator.
If the seat backrest is not engaged and locked in
place, this will be shown on the multifunction
display on the instrument cluster (fold rear seat
back electrically) or the red lock verification indi‐
cator will be visible (fold rear seat back mechani‐
cally).
¯ If the child restraint system is equipped
with a Top Tether belt:
The risk of injury can be reduced by a Top
Tether. The Top Tether belt enables an
additional connection between the child
restraint system attached with LATCH-
type (ISOFIX) and the vehicle.
