Before every trip, make sure that the ISOFIX
child restraint system or the i‑Size child restraint
system is engaged correctly in both mounting
brackets in the vehicle.
* NOTE Be careful not to damage the seat
belt for the centre seat when fitting the
child restraint system
Make sure that the seat belt is not trap‐
#

Attach the ISOFIX or i‑Size child restraint sys‐
#
tem to both mounting brackets in the vehicle.
Securing a Top Tether
& WARNING Risk of injury or death if the
rear seat backrests are not locked after
fitting Top Tether belts
If the rear seat backrests are not locked, they
could fold forwards in the event of an acci‐
dent, heavy braking or sudden changes of
direction.
As a result, child restraint systems cannot
perform their intended protective function.
Rear seat backrests that are not locked can
also cause additional injuries, e.g. in the
event of an accident.
Occupant safety
Always lock rear seat backrests after
#
fitting Top Tether belts.
Observe the lock verification indicator.
#
If the rear seat backrest is not engaged and
locked in place, the red lock verification indica‐
tor will be visible.
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 facilitates
an additional connection between the
child restraint system attached with ISO‐
FIX or i‑Size and the vehicle.
