Child seat - ISOFIX
ISOFIX is a fixture system for car child seats
(p. 45) that is based on an international stand-
ard.
Mounting points for the ISOFIX fixture system
are located at the lower section of the rear
seat backrest, in the outer seats.
The location of the mounting points is indi-
cated by symbols in the backrest upholstery
(see preceding illustration).
Always follow the manufacturer's installation
instructions when connecting a child seat to
the ISOFIX mounting points.
