ISOFIX child seat securing system
G
WARNING
ISOFIX child restraint systems do not offer
sufficient protective effect for children whose
weight is greater than 22 kg who are secured
using the safety belt integrated in the child
restraint system. The child could, for example,
not be restrained correctly in the event of an
accident. This poses an increased risk of
injury or even fatal injury.
If the child weighs more than 22 kg, only use
ISOFIX child restraint systems with which the
child is also secured with the vehicle seat belt.
Also secure the child restraint system with the
Top Tether belt, if available.
When fitting a child restraint system, be sure to
observe the manufacturer's installation and
operating instructions and the instructions for
correct use of the child restraint system
Y
( page 51).
Before every trip, make sure that the ISOFIX
child restraint system is engaged correctly in
both ISOFIX securing rings.
! When fitting the child restraint system,
make sure that the seat belt for the centre
seat does not get trapped. Otherwise, the
seat belt could be damaged.

Install the ISOFIX child restraint system on

Child restraint systems without ISOFIX child
seat securing system should be fitted using the
seat belts in the vehicle. When fitting a child
restraint system, be sure to observe the manu-
facturer's installation and operating instruc-
tions and the instructions for correct use of the
child restraint system (
Top Tether
Introduction
Top Tether provides an additional connection
between the child restraint system secured with
ISOFIX and the vehicle. It helps reduce the risk
of injury even further. If the child restraint sys-
tem is fitted with a Top Tether belt, this should
always be used.
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If you attach the Top Tether belt incorrectly,
e.g. to an eyelet in the luggage compartment,
the child restraint system is not correctly
secured. It therefore cannot perform its inten-
ded protective function in the event of an
accident. This poses an increased risk of
injury.
Only secure the Top Tether hook to the inten-
ded Top Tether anchorage.
