• Make sure the Child Restraint
System is firmly secured.
After
installing a Child Restraint System
to the vehicle, push and pull the
seat forward 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.
• 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 man-
ufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION
A Child Restraint System in a
closed vehicle can become very
hot. To prevent burns, check the
seating surface 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 possibility of improperly
installing your Child Restraint System.
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 System to the rear seats.
ISOFIX anchorages are metal bars
built into the vehicle. There are two
lower anchors for each ISOFIX seat-
ing position that will accommodate a
Child Restraint System with lower
attachments.
To use the ISOFIX system in your
vehicle, you must have a Child
Restraint System with ISOFIX attach-
ments. (An ISOFIX Child Restraint
System may only be installed if it has
vehicle-specific or universal approval
in accordance with the requirements
of ECE-R44 or ECE-R129.)
The Child Restraint System manufac-
turer will provide you with instructions
on how to use the Child Restraint
System with its attachments for the
ISOFIX anchorages.
