Safety
Attachment systems overview
●
ISOFIX
: ISOFIX is a standardised attach-
ment system allowing quick and safe attach-
ment of child seats in the vehicle. ISOFIX at-
tachment establishes a rigid connection be-
tween the child seat and the car body.
The child seat has two rigid attachment clips,
called connectors. These connectors are fit-
ted into the ISOFIX attachment rings found
between the seat cushion and the backrest
of the vehicle's back seat (on the sides). ISO-
FIX attachment systems are used mainly in
Europe

page 33 . If necessary, ISOFIX at-
tachment may have to be supplemented
with a Top Tether belt or a support bracket.
●
Automatic three-point seat belt . When-
ever possible, it is preferable to attach the
child seats with the ISOFIX system rather
than attaching them with an automatic
three-point seat belt

.
Additional attachment:
●
Top Tether : the Top Tether belt is guided
over the back of the rear seat and attached
to an anchor point with a hook. Anchor
points are located at the back of the rear
seat backrest on the boot side

.
The rings for retaining the Top Tether belt
are marked with an anchor symbol.
●
Support bracket
: some child seats rest on
the floor of the vehicle with a support brack-
et. The support bracket prevents the child
seat from tipping forward in the event of im-
pact. Child seats fitted with a support brack-
et should only be used in the passenger seat
and side rear seats

. For the assembly of
this type of seat you should also consult the
list of approved vehicles for this assembly,
available in the instructions for child restraint
systems.
