fracture or break bolt. Maximum torque is 20 N.m. (14.75 ft.lb.)
Note: Minimum of five full turns of anchor bolt is required before
tightening force is applied. Do not overtighten.
If the car is not fitted with child restraint
anchorage points...
For Sedans only - Drill 9mm diameter hole in
the parcel shelf on the centreline of the seating
position as shown right. Before drilling the hole,
check the underside for accessibility.
For vehicles other than Sedans - In Australia,
consult your nearest child restraint fitting
station or traffic authority for vehicle
inspection to find the best, correct position for the
placement of the anchorage point, and for the
correct attachment bolt length and use of spacers.
In New Zealand, consult the agent for the vehicle.
Note to Queensland purchasers: The installation of
anchorage points must be approved by authorised officers
appointed by Queensland Transport. Authorised officers
