securing systems

WARNING
For ISOFIX or i‑Size child restraint sys-
tems, where the child is secured using the
integrated seat belt of the child restraint
system, the permissible gross weight of
the child and the child restraint system is
33 kg.
If the child together with the child
restraint system weighs more than 33 kg,
ISOFIX or i‑Size child restraint systems
with integrated seat belt no longer offer
sufficient protection. ISOFIX or i‑Size child
seat securing systems may be overloaded
and will not be able to restrain the child,
for example, in the event of an accident.
This poses an increased risk of injury or
even fatal injury.
If the child together with the child
restraint system weighs more than 33 kg ,
only use ISOFIX or i-Size child restraint
systems with which the child is secured
with the vehicle seat belt. Also secure the
child restraint system with the Top Tether
belt, if available.
Always observe the specifications for the
R
weight of the child restraint system:
in the installation and operating
-
instructions of the manufacturer of the
child restraint system which is used
on a label on the child restraint system,
-
if available
Children in the vehicle
Check regularly that the maximum per-
missible gross weight of child and child
restraint system is still being maintained.
When fitting a child restraint system, be sure
to observe the manufacturer's installation
instructions and the instructions for correct
use of the child restraint system.
Before driving the vehicle, make sure that the
ISOFIX or i-Size child restraint system is
engaged correctly in both ISOFIX or i-Size
securing rings.

Securing Top Tether
Top Tether can reduce the risk of injury,
since it provides an additional connection
between the child restraint system secured
with ISOFIX or i-Size and the vehicle.
The child restraint system must be equipped
with a Top Tether belt.
