2. Allow the seat belt to retract, and remove all slack in the
seat belt while firmly pushing the child restraint system
into the vehicle's seat.
3. Attach the upper tether strap(s), as required by the
manufacturer of the child restraint system (see Attaching
Upper Tether Straps on page 48).
Installing ISOFIX/i-Size Child Restraint
Systems
Second row outboard seating positions are equipped with
ISOFIX/i-Size anchor bars. These anchor bars are located
between the seat's cushion and back rest. The exact location
of each anchor bar is identified by a marking located on the
seat back, directly above its associated anchor bars.
In the second row, install ISOFIX/iSize child safety seats in
the outboard seating positions only. Use only a seat belt
retained seat in the center position.
To install an ISOFIX/i-Size child restraint system, carefully
read and follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the child restraint system. These
instructions describe how to slide the child restraint system
onto the seat’s anchor bars until you hear it "click" into place.
You may need to push the child restraint system firmly
against the seat back to ensure it fits snugly.
Adjust until the child restraint system is fitted firmly against
the seat back. Ensure the child restraint system fits snugly.
Before seating a child, ensure that the child restraint system
is securely installed. Grasp the front of the child restraint
system with one hand on each side, and attempt to:
•
Twist the child restraint system from side to side.
•
Pull the child restraint system away from the seat.
If the child restraint system rotates or moves away from the
seat, both latches are not fully engaged onto the seat's
anchor bars. You must reinstall it and try again. It is critical
that both latches on the child restraint system are fully
engaged.
