"ISOFIX" mountings

The seats, represented below, are fitted with regulation ISOFIX mountings:
The ISOFIX mountings are three rings for each seat:
- two rings A , located between the vehicle
seat back and cushion, indicated by a
marking,
252
latest ISOFIX regulations .
- a ring B, located under a cover on the back
of the top of the seat backrest, referred to as
the TOP TETHER for fixing the upper strap. R
Its position is indicated by a marking.
Located on the back of the seat backrest, the
top tether is used to secure the upper strap of
child seats that have one. This device limits
forward tipping of the child seat, in the event of
a front impact.
This ISOFIX mounting system ensures fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in your
vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two
latches which are secured easily on the two
rings A.
Some also have an upper strap (or top tether)
which is attached to ring B.
To secure the child seat to the TOP TETHER :
- remove and stow the head restraint before
installing the child seat on this seat (refit it
after the child seat has been removed),
- remove the TOP TETHER cover by pulling
at its cut-out,
- pass the child seat strap behind the seat
backrest, centred between the holes for the
head restraint rods,
- secure the upper strap fixing to the ring B,
- tighten the upper strap.
The incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child's
protection in the event of an accident.
Observe strictly the fitting instructions
provided with the child seat.
For information on the possibilities
for fitting ISOFIX child seats to your
vehicle, refer to the table of seating
positions.
