Top Tether
WARNING
Always lock the rear seat backrests in their
upright position when the rear seats are
occupied by passengers. Lock the rear seat
backrests in their upright position before
installing the Top Tether straps or when the
cargo compartment is not in use. Make sure
that rear seat backrests are secured properly
by pushing and pulling on the seat backrests.
If the seat backrest is not locked properly, the
seat backrest could fold forward. The child
restraint system is no longer supported
properly or held in position and can no longer
fulfill its function. This could cause serious or
even fatal injuries.
Top Tether provides an additional connection between the child restraint system secured with ISOFIX and the rear seat. It helps reduce the risk of injury even further.
The Top Tether anchorages are located on the rear side of the rear seat backrests.
- Move head restraint 3 upwards.
- Install the LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child
restraint system with Top Tether. Comply
with the manufacturer's installation
instructions when doing so.
- Route Top Tether belt 6 under head
restraint 3 between the two head restraint
bars.
- Route Top Tether belt 6 downward
between cargo compartment cover 1 and
rear seat backrest 2.
- Hook Top Tether hook 5 of Top Tether belt
6 into Top Tether anchorage 4.
Ensure that:
- Top Tether hook 5 is hooked into Top Tether anchorage 4 as
shown.
- Top Tether belt 6 is not twisted.
- Top Tether belt 6 is routed between rear seat backrest 2
and cargo compartment cover 1 if cargo compartment cover 1 is installed.
- Top Tether belt 6 is routed between rear seat backrest 2
and the cargo net if the cargo net is installed.
- Tension Top Tether belt 6. Comply with
the manufacturer's installation
instructions when doing so.

sure that you do not interfere with the
correct routing of Top Tether belt 6.
