Safety
60
• Never leave a child alone in the child seat
or in the vehicle.
•
Children who are less than 1.50 m tall must
not wear a normal seat belt without a child
seat, as this could cause injuries to the ab-
dominal and neck areas during a sudden
braking manoeuvre or in an accident.
•
When a child seat is mounted in the rear
seats, the door child-proof lock should be
activated ››› page 99.
Attachment systems
Depending on the country, dierent attach-
ment systems are used for safely installing child
seats.
Attachment systems overview
•
ISOFIX: ISOFIX is a standardised attachment
system allowing quick and safe attachment of
child seats in the vehicle. ISOFIX attachment
establishes a rigid connection between the
child seat and the car body.
The child seat has two rigid attachment clips,
called connectors. These connectors are t-
ted into the ISOFIX attachment rings found
between the seat cushion and the backrest
of the vehicle's back seat (on the sides). ISO-
FIX attachment systems are used mainly in Eu-
rope
›››
page 60. If necessary, ISOFIX at-
tachment may have to be supplemented with a
Top Tether belt or a support bracket.
•
Automatic three-point seat belt
. When-
ever possible, it is preferable to attach the child
seats with the ISOFIX system rather than at-
taching them with an automatic three-point
seat belt ››› page 65.
Additional attachment:
•
Top Tether: the Top Tether belt is guided
over the back of the rear seat and attached to
an anchor point with a hook. Anchor points are
located at the back of the rear seat backrest on
the luggage compartment side ››› page 64.
The rings for retaining the Top Tether belt are
marked with an anchor symbol.
•
Support foot: some child seats rest on the
oor of the vehicle with a support foot. The
support bracket prevents the child seat from
tipping forward in the event of impact. Child
seats tted with a support bracket should only
be used in the passenger seat and side rear
seats ››› . For the assembly of this type
of seat you should also consult the list of ap-
proved vehicles for this assembly, available in
the instructions for child restraint systems.
Recommended systems for attaching child
seats
CUPRA recommends attaching child seats as
follows:
•
Baby carriers or child seats in the oppo-
site direction of travel: ISOFIX and support
bracket or i-Size.
•
Child seats in the direction of travel: ISO-
FIX and Top Tether.
WARNING
Incorrect use of the support bracket can
cause serious or fatal injury.
•
Make sure the support bracket is correctly
and safely installed.
