Top-tether anchors
Top-tether anchors are marked with
the symbol t for a child seat.

fasten the Top-tether strap to the
Top-tether anchors.

Selecting the right system
The rear seats are the most
convenient location to fasten a child
restraint system.
Children should travel facing
rearwards in the vehicle as long as
possible. This makes sure that the
child's backbone, which is still very
weak, is under less strain in the event
of an accident. Do not use forward
facing child restraint system at all
seats when child's weight is below 13
kg.
Suitable are child restraint systems
that comply with valid UN ECE
regulations. Check local laws and
regulations for mandatory use of child
restraint systems.
The following child restraints are
recommended for the following
weight classes:
● Group 0, Group 0+:
Maxi Cosi Cabriofix with or
without ISOFIX base for children
up to 13 kg.
● Group I: Britax Duo Plus with
ISOFIX and Top-tether for
children from 9 kg to 18 kg.
● Group II: Kidfix 2R with or without
ISOFIX for children from 15 kg to
36 kg.
Graco Booster for children from
15 kg to 36 kg.
● Group III: Kidfix 2R with or
without ISOFIX for children from
22 kg to 36 kg.
Graco Booster for children from
22 kg to 36 kg.
Ensure that the child restraint system
to be installed is compatible with the
vehicle type.
Child seat at the front: Adjust the front
passenger seat to the highest and
fully back longitudinal position with
the backrest straightened.
Child seat at the rear: Move the
vehicle's front seat forward and
straighten the backrest so that the
legs of the child in the "forward facing"
or the "rearward facing" child seat do
not touch the vehicle's front seat.
In case of any interference of child
restraint system with vehicle seat
head rest, adjust or remove the
corresponding vehicle seat head
restraint.
Do not use forward facing child
restraints system when child's weight
is below 13 kg at all seats.
