ISOFIX child seats with universal approval must be secured with an upper strap (top tether) in
addition to the ISOFIX anchor points.
Only secure the strap to the top tether anchor rings provided for this purpose. Anchor rings for
use with the top tether are marked by a symbol and sometimes also with “TOP TETHER”.

—Remove the luggage compartment cover if necessary.
—Guide the top tether of the child seat to the rear into the luggage compartment and hook it
into the top tether anchor ring in the rear seat backrest → Fig. 1 .
