Fastening a Top Tether
& WARNING Risk of injury or death if the
rear seat backrests are not locked after
Top Tether belts are installed
The rear seat backrests may fold forwards
when you are driving.
As a result, child restraint systems will no lon-
ger be able to perform their intended protec-
tive function. This may also cause additional
injuries.
Always lock rear seat backrests after
#
installing Top Tether belts.
Observe the lock verification indicator.
#
If the rear seat backrest is not engaged and
locked in place, the red lock verification indicator
will be visible.
¯ If the child restraint system is equipped
with a Top Tether belt:
The risk of injury may be reduced by Top
Tether. The Top Tether belt enables an
additional connection between the child
restraint system attached with ISOFIX (left
and right rear seats) or the seat belt (all
rear seats) and the vehicle.
The Top Tether anchorages for the second row of
seats are located on the rear side of the seat
backrest. For the third row of seats, use the Top
Tether anchorage on the rear side of the seat
backrest.
