Securing a child restraint system
with “ISOFIX” system and “Tether
Anchorage” system (if equipped)
ISOFIX is a standardised method of
fitting child seats that eliminates the
need to use the standard adult seat
belt to secure the seat in the vehicle.
This enables a much more secure and
positive location with the added bene-
fit of easier and quicker installation.
An ISOFIX-seat may only be installed
if it has vehicle-specific or universal
approval in accordance with the
requirements of ECE-R 44 or rele-
vant regulation.
There are ISOFIX symbols located
on the lower portion of each side of
the 2nd row seatbacks. These sym-
bols indicate the position of the lower
anchors for child restraints so
equipped.

WARNING - Child
restraint check
Check that the child restraint
system is secure by pushing
and pulling it in different direc-
tions. Incorrectly fitted child
restraints may swing, twist, tip
or separate causing death or
serious injury.
WARNING - Child
restraint anchorage
• 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 or harnesses or for
attaching other items or equip-
ment to the vehicle.
• The tether strap may not work
properly if attached some-
where other than the correct
tether anchor.
