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".
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
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.
 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.
WARNING!
Installing Child Restraints Using The Top
Tether Anchorage:
1.
Look behind the seating position where you plan to
install the child restraint to find the tether
anchorage. If the seat can be moved, you may need
to move the seat forward to provide better access to
the tether anchorage. If there is no top tether
anchorage for that seating position, move the child
restraint to another position in the vehicle if one is
available.
2.
Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path
for the strap between the anchor and the child seat.
If your vehicle 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.
