• Child restraint anchorages are de‐
signed
to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no circum‐
stances 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 somewhere
other than the correct tether an‐
chor.
Securing a child restraint system
with ISOFIX system and Tether
Anchorage system
ISOFIX is a standardised method of fit‐
ting 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 benefit
of easier and quicker installation.
An ISOFIX-seat can only be installed if it
has vehicle-specific approval in accord‐
ance with the requirements of ECE-
R44.
There is a child restraint symbol loca‐
ted on the lower portion of each side of
the rear seatbacks. These symbols indi‐
cate the position of the lower anchors
for child restraints so equipped.
On each side of the rear seat, between
the cushion and backrest, are located a
pair of ISOFIX anchorage points togeth‐
er with a top tether mounting on the
shelf behind the rear seats.
During the installation, the seat has to
be engaged at the anchorage-points in
a way you can hear it clicking (check by
pulling!) and has to be fixed with the
Top Tether-anchor on the belonging
point on the shelf behind rear seats.
