Secure Child Restraints with ISOFIX/i-Size Device

Chapter 4 · Manual page 189

The ISOFIX/i-Size anchorages in the rear seat are designed for use with ISOFIX/i-Size systems only.

Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, harnesses or for attaching other items or equipment to the vehicle. The rear seats of this vehicle on both sides are provided with ISOFIX/i-Size interface (as indicated by the arrow in the figure below) connected to the ISOFIX/i-Size child restraint. When installing and removing any child restraint system, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Diagram showing: The top-tether (as arrowed in the figure above) for auxiliary fixation of the child restraint is provided at the back of the rear left seat backrest and at the back of the rear right seat. The single top-tether of the child restraint must pass through space between the rods of the rear seat headrest, and dual tether must pass from both sides of the rear seat headrest. Note:  When installing a child restraint with top-tether, the top-tether must be connected with and fixed to the top-tether anchor.  When using a seat mounted, universally approved child restraint system, the top tether must be used. To fasten the top tether of the child restraint system, route the tether under the rear headrest and attach to the anchorage hook.  When fixing the top tether, be careful not to twist the top tether.  If not using ISOFIX/i-Size lower anchorages, using the seatbelt, complete the installation in line with the child restraint manufacture's instruction., After the installation, push or shake the child restraint with moderate force to confirm it is secured correctly.
