Installing an ISOFIX child
restraint system
1. Loosen the adjusters on the lower
connectors and on the tether strap of the
child restraint system so that you can
more easily attach the connectors to the
car anchorings.
2. Place the child restraint system
between the lower anchorings for that
seating position. For some second row
seats, you may need to recline the
seat and/or raise the head restraint (if
adjustable) to get a better fit. If the
rear seat can be moved forwards and
rearwards in the car, you may wish to
move it to its rear-most position to make
room for the child restraint system. You
may also move the front seat forwards to
allow more room for the child restraint
system.
3. Fix the connectors of the child
restraint system to the lower anchorings
in the selected seating position.

4. If the child restraint system has a
tether strap, connect it to the respective
upper anchoring. See the "Installing
child restraint systems using the top
anchoring" paragraph for directions to
attach a tether anchoring.
5. Tighten all of the straps as you push
the child restraint system rearwards
and downwards into the seat. Remove
5520382D
slack in the straps according to the
child restraint system manufacturer's
instructions.
6. Test that the child restraint system
is installed tightly by pulling back and
forth on the child restraint system at the
belt path. It should not move more than
25 mm in any direction.

Installing child restraint systems
using the top anchoring
1. Look behind the seating position
where you plan to install the child
restraint system to find the anchoring.
You may need to move the seat
forward to provide better access to the
anchoring. If there is no top anchoring
for that seating position, move the child
restraint system to another position in
the car if one is available.
2. Route the tether strap to provide the
most direct path for the strap between
the anchoring and the child restraint
system. If your car is equipped with
adjustable rear head restraints, raise
the head restraint, and where possible,
route the tether strap under the head
restraint and between the two posts. If
not possible, lower the head restraint
and pass the tether strap around the
outboard side of the head restraint.
3. Attach the tether strap hook of
the child restraint system to the top
anchoring as shown in the diagram on
fig. 146.
4. Remove slack in the tether straps
according to the child restraint system
manufacturer's instructions.

The rear outboard seats of the car are
approved to house the i-Size child

These child restraint systems, built and
type-approved according to the i-Size
