Occupant safety
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.
Always lock rear seat backrests after
#
fitting Top Tether belts.
Observe the lock verification indicator.
#
Ensure that the rear seat backrest is engaged. To
do so, pull forcefully on the seat backrest.
¯ 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 ISOFIX or
i‑Size and the vehicle.
The Top Tether anchorages for the second row of
seats are located on the rear side of the two
outer rear seats on the second row of seats. For
the third row of seats, use the Top Tether
anchorage on the rear side of the seat backrest
on the third row of seats.
Second row of seats
If necessary, slide the head restraint
#
upwards ( page 119).
/
Fit the ISOFIX or i‑Size child restraint system
#
with Top Tether. Comply with the child
restraint system manufacturer's installation
instructions when doing so.
