Fitting the ISOFIX child restraint system on
the rear seat
Notes on ISOFIX child seat securing systems
& WARNING Risk of injury or death if the
permissible gross mass of the child and
child restraint system together is excee‐
ded
For ISOFIX child restraint systems in which
the child is secured using the integrated seat
belt integrated in the child restraint system,
the permissible gross mass of the child and
child restraint system is 33 kg.
If the child and the child restraint system
together weigh more than 33 kg, the ISOFIX
child restraint system with integrated seat
belt does not offer sufficient protection. An
excessive load may be placed on the 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 33 kg,
only use an ISOFIX child restraint sys‐
tem which 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
present
Regularly check that the permissible gross mass
of the child and child restraint system is still com‐
plied with.
When using a child restraint system, be sure to
observe the manufacturer's installation and oper‐
ating instructions as well as its correct use and
the suitability of the seats for attaching a child
restraint system.
ISOFIX is a standardised securing system for spe‐
cially designed restraint systems. 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 ISOFIX mounting brackets.
