Important safety notes
G WARNING
Always engage the rear seat backrests in an
upright position before installing the Top
Tether belt. Push and pull the rear seat backr-
ests to check whether they are engaged cor-
rectly. If the seat backrest is not locked prop-
erly, the seat backrest could fold. The child
seat would no longer be supported properly or
positioned to provide its intended benefit.
That could cause serious or even fatal injuries.

Example: Top Tether belt with one belt strap
Top Tether provides an additional connection
between the LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child
restraint system secured with LATCH-type
(ISOFIX) and the rear seat. This helps reduce
the risk of injury even further. If the child
restraint system is installed with Top Tether,
this should always be used.
The Top Tether anchorage points are installed
in the rear compartment behind the outer
head restraints on the parcel shelf.
There is also another Top Tether anchorage
point behind the central rear seat.
