·
Make sure tha
t children are not in the
airbag deployment zone.
·
Do not place any objects in the side air-
bag deployment zones.
If a child seat is used on a single seat
with E
asy Entry function, the seats lo-
cated behind that seat are dicult to ac-
cess. Therefore, a child seat should be used
on another rear seat, if possible.

Please refer to at the start of the

Dierent countries use dierent securing
systems for safely fitting child seats in the
vehicle.
Overview of securing systems
— ISOFIX: ISOFIX is a standardised secur-
ing system for fitting child seats in the
vehicle quickly and safely. The ISOFIX at-
tachment system creates a rigid connec-
tion between the child seat and the vehi-
cle body.
The child seat has two rigid attachment
arms. The attachment arms click into ISO-
FIX attachment points which can be loca-
ted between the seat and the rear seat
backrest. The ISOFIX securing system as
described here is specific to Europe
→ page 66. An upper strap (top tether) or
a support foot may sometimes have to be
used in addition to the ISOFIX anchor
points described above.
— Three-point automatic seat belt: it is
better to secure child seats using the
ISOFIX system, if available, rather than
with a three-point a
utomatic seat belt.
Additional securing points:
— Top tether: this strap at the top of the
child seat is routed over the vehicle seat
backrest and hooked into an anchor ring
in the luggage compartment. Top tether
anchor points are marked with an anchor
symbol → page 66.
— Support foot: some child seats are sup-
ported by with a support leg resting on
the floor of the vehicle. This support foot
helps prevent the child seat tipping for-
ward in a crash.
Recommended child seat securing sys-
tems
Child seats should be secured as follows:
—
Infant carrier or rear-facing child
seat: ISOFIX and support foot.
— Front-facing child seat: ISOFIX and top
tether and possibly additional support
foot.
WARNING
Child restraint anchorages are designed
to withstand only those loa
ds imposed by
correctly fitted child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used for
adult seatbelts, harnesses, or for attach-
ing other items or equipment to the vehi-
cle.
WARNING
Incorrect use of the support foot can
c
ause severe or fatal injuries.
·
Ensure that the support foot is always
correctly and safely installed.
