LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child seat anchors in the rear
WARNING
Children that are too large for a child restraint
must travel in seats using normal seat belts.
Position shoulder belt across the chest and
shoulder, not face or neck.
In order to attain the correct seating position
for children weighing over 41 lb (18 kg), it may
be necessary to use a booster seat until they
reach a height where a normal lap/shoulder
seat belt lies properly across their bodies
without the need for a booster seat.
Install the child restraint system according to
the manufacturer's instructions.
The child restraint system must be installed
firmly on both brackets.
An incorrectly installed child restraint system
can come loose in the event of an accident,
causing the child to be severely or fatally
injured.
Child restraint systems/child restraint
retaining brackets that are damaged or have
suffered damage due to an impact must be
replaced.
LATCH-type (ISOFIX) is a standardized securing system for specially designed child restraint systems on the rear seats. Securing rings for two LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint systems are installed on the left and right of the rear seats.
Secure non LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint systems using the vehicle's seat belt system. Always install child restraint systems according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Vehicles with a center seat in the rear: when installing the LATCH-type
(ISOFIX)
child restraint system, make sure that the
seat belt for the center seat does not get
trapped. Otherwise, the seat belt could be
damaged.
Installation instructions 1 indicate the
installation location of securing rings 2.
Move the backrest of the electrically
adjustable rear seat to an upright position.
Fold upholstery cover 3 and the Velcro
fastener upwards.
Turn installation aid 4 to a vertical position
to prevent upholstery cover 3 from folding
down.
Install the LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child
restraint systems on both securing
rings 2. Comply with the manufacturer's
instructions when installing the LATCHtype
(ISOFIX) child restraint system.
WARNING
Vehicles with rear power seats:
Never change the rear seat position after
installing the child restraint. This could
• damage the child restraint
• introduce undesirable slack or tension into the seat belt
• loosen the child restraint
• misposition the child restraint
All of the above will lessen the
effectiveness of the child restraint and thus
increase the chance or severity of injury in
an accident.
