Child safety
Use of retainer straps on rear-facing seats
At present there are very few rear-facing child safety seats fitted with a
retainer strap. Please carefully read and follow the safety seat manufacturer's
instructions for information on how to install the retainer strap properly.
WARNING
An undue installation of the safety seat will increase the risk of injury in the
event of a crash.
•
Never tie the retainer strap to a hook in the luggage compartment.
•
Never secure or tie luggage or other items to the lower anchorages
(ISOFIX) or the upper ones (Top Tether).

Securing the Top Tether child restraint to the anchor point situated
on the rear of the backrest
– Pull out the fastening belt of the child restraint seat according to
the manufacturer's instructions.
– Lead the Top Tether fastening belt under the rear seat head

is correctly secured to the anchor on the back of the rear seat.
