Child Safety Seats
Installing Belt-based Child Restraint
Systems
Always follow the detailed instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the child restraint system. Follow these
general guidelines for belt-based child restraint systems:
• Ensure that the child restraint system is appropriate
for the weight, height, and age of the child.
• Avoid dressing the child in bulky clothing.
• Do not place any objects between the child and the
child restraint system.
• Adjust the child restraint system's harnesses for every
child, every trip.
1. Place the child restraint system in the appropriate
seat and fully extend the seat belt. Route and buckle
the seat belt in accordance with the instructions
provided by the manufacturer of the child restraint
system.
2. Allow the seat belt to retract, and remove all slack in
the seat belt while firmly pushing the child restraint
system into the vehicle's seat.
3. Attach the upper tether strap(s), as required by the
manufacturer of the child restraint system (see
Attaching Upper Tether Straps on page
Installing ISOFIX/i-Size Child
Restraint Systems
Model 3's rear outboard seating positions are equipped
with ISOFIX/i-Size anchor bars. These anchor bars are
located between the seat's cushion and back rest. The
exact location of each anchor bar is identified by a
marking (illustrated below) located on the seat back,
directly above its associated anchor bars.

To install an ISOFIX/i-Size child restraint system,
carefully read and follow the instructions provided by
the manufacturer of the child restraint system. These
instructions describe how to slide the child restraint
system onto the seat's anchor bars until you hear it
"click" into place. You may need to push the child
restraint system firmly against the seat back to ensure it
fits snugly.
