Installing the LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child
restraint system on the rear seat
Notes on LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child seat
securing systems
& WARNING Risk of injury or death if the
permissible gross mass of the child and
child restraint system is exceeded
For LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint sys‐
tems in which the child is secured using the
integrated seat belt in the child restraint sys‐
tem, the permissible gross mass of the child
and child restraint system is 73 lb (33 kg).
If the child and the child restraint system
together weigh more than 73 lb (33 kg), the
LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint system
with integrated seat belt does not offer suffi‐
cient protection. An excessive load may be
placed on the LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child seat
attachments and the child may not be
restrained in the event of an accident, for
example.
If the child and the child restraint sys‐
#
tem together weigh more than 73 lb
(33 kg), use only a LATCH-type (ISOFIX)
child restraint system that secures the
child with the vehicle seat belt.
Also secure the child restraint system
#
with the Top Tether belt, if available.
Always comply with the information about the
mass of the child restraint system:
In the manufacturer's installation and operat‐
R
ing instructions for the child restraint system
used
On a label on the child restraint system, if
R
available
Check regularly that the permissible gross mass
of the child plus the child restraint system is not
exceeded.
When installing a child restraint system, be sure
to observe the manufacturer's installation and
operating instructions and the correct use of the
child restraint system as well as consider the
suitability of the seats.
ISOFIX is a standardized securing system for spe‐
cial restraint systems. LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child
restraint systems are approved in accordance
with UN-R44.
Only child restraint systems that have been
approved in accordance with UN-R44 may be
attached to LATCH-type (ISOFIX) mounting brack‐
ets.
