INSTALLATION OF CAR ANCHOR FITTING
IF THE CAR IS NOT FITTED WITH CHILD
RESTRAINT ANCHORAGE POINTS
For Sedans only - Drill 9mm diameter hole
in the parcel shelf on the centre line of the
seating position as shown in Fig 3. Before
drilling the hole, check the underside for
accessibility. Install the anchor bolt as
shown in Fig 2.
For vehicles other than Sedans - In
Australia, consult your nearest child
restraint fitting station or traffic authority
for vehicle inspection to find the best,
correct position for the placement of
the anchorage point, and for the correct
attachment bolt length and use of spacers.
In New Zealand, consult the agent for the
vehicle.
Note to Queensland purchasers: The
installation of anchorage points must be
approved by authorised officers appointed
by Queensland Transport. Authorised
officers can be sourced from all
