278 SAFETY
Always follow the directions of the child
restraint manufacturer when installing your
child restraint. Not all child restraint systems
will be installed as described here. When using
a Universal ISOFIX child restraint system, you
can only use approved child restraint systems
with the marking ECE R44 (release R44/03 or
superior) "Universal ISOFIX".
To Install An ISOFIX Child Restraint
1. Loosen the adjusters on the lower
connectors and on the tether strap of the
child seat so that you can more easily
attach the connectors to the vehicle
anchorages.
2. Place the child seat between the lower
anchorages for that seating position. If the
second row seat can be reclined, you may
recline the seat and/or raise the head
restraint (if adjustable) to get a better fit. If
the rear seat can be moved forward and
rearward in the vehicle, you may wish to
move it to its rear-most position to make
room for the child seat. You may also move
the front seat forward to allow more room
for the child seat.
3. Attach the connectors of the child restraint
to the lower anchorages in the selected
seating position.
4. If the child restraint has a tether strap,
connect it to the top tether anchorage. See
Ú page 279 for directions to attach a tether
anchor.
5. Tighten all of the straps as you push the
child restraint rearward and downward into
the seat. Remove slack in the straps
according to the child restraint
manufacturer's instructions.
6. Test that the child restraint is installed
tightly by pulling back and forth on the child
seat at the belt path. It should not move
more than 25 mm in any direction.
WARNING!
Improper installation of a child restraint to

the ISOFIX anchorages can lead to failure of
the restraint. The child could be badly
injured or killed. Follow the child restraint
manufacturer's directions exactly when
installing an infant or child restraint.
Child restraint anchorages are designed to

withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly-fitted child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used for adult
seat belts, harnesses, or for attaching other
items or equipment to the vehicle.
Install the child restraint system when the

vehicle is stationary. The ISOFIX child
restraint system is correctly fixed to the
brackets when you hear the click.
