Securing 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.
1 or i‑Size Observe the lock verification indicator.
#
If the rear seat backrest is not engaged and
locked, the red lock verification indicator will be
visible.
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 ISOFIX or i-Size and the vehicle.
The child restraint system must be equipped
with a Top Tether belt.
