• Make sure the Child Restraint Sys-
tem is firmly secured. After install-
ing a Child Restraint System to the
vehicle, push and pull the seat for-
ward and from side-to-side to verify
that it is securely attached to the seat.
A Child Restraint System secured
with a seat belt should be installed as
firmly as possible. However, some
side-to- side movement can be
expected.
When installing a Child Restraint
System, adjust the vehicle seat (up
and down, forward and rearward) so
that your child fits in the Child
Restraint System in a comfortable
manner.
The ISOFIX system uses anchors in
the vehicle and attachments on the
Child Restraint System. The ISOFIX
system eliminates the need to use seat
belts to secure the Child Restraint Sys-
tem to the rear seats.
ISOFIX anchorages are metal bars built
into the vehicle. There are two lower
anchors for each ISOFIX seating posi-
tion that will accommodate a Child
Restraint System with lower attach-
ments.
To use the ISOFIX system in your vehi-
cle, you must have a Child Restraint
System with ISOFIX attachments. (An
ISOFIX Child Restraint System may
only be installed if it has vehicle-specif-
ic or universal approval in accordance
with the requirements of ECE-R44 or
ECE-R129.)
• Secure the child in the Child
Restraint System. Make sure the
child is properly strapped in the Child
Restraint System according to the
Child Restraint System manufactur-
er’s instructions.
The Child Restraint System manufac-
turer will provide you with instructions
on how to use the Child Restraint Sys-
tem with its attachments for the ISOFIX
anchorages.
CAUTION
A Child Restraint System in a closed
vehicle can become very hot. To pre-
vent burns, check the seating sur-
face and buckles before placing your
child in the Child Restraint System.
ISOFIX anchorage and top-tether
anchorage (ISOFIX anchorages
system) for children
The ISOFIX system holds a Child
Restraint System during driving and in
an accident. This system is designed to
make installation of the Child Restraint
System easier and reduce the possibil-
ity of improperly installing your Child
Restraint System.
