ISOFIX anchorage and toptether
anchorage (ISOFIX anchorage
system) for children
The ISOFIX system holds a Child Re‐
straint System durinþ drivinþ and in an
accident. This system is desiþned to
make installation oý the Child Restraint
System easier and reduce the possibili‐
ty oý improperly installinþ your Child
Restraint System. The ISOFIX system
uses anchors in the vehicle and attach‐
ments 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 anchoraþes are metal bars built
into the vehicle. There are two lower
anchors ýor each ISOFIX seatinþ posi‐
tion that will accommodate a Child Re‐
straint System with lower attach‐
ments.
To use the ISOFIX system in your vehi‐
cle, you must have a Child Restraint
System with ISOFIX attachments.
The Child Restraint System manuýac‐
turer will provide you with instructions
on how to use the Child Restraint Sys‐
tem with its attachments ýor the ISO‐
FIX anchoraþes.
ISOFIX anchoraþes have been provided
in the leýt and riþht outboard rear seat‐
inþ positions. Their locations are shown
in the illustration.
WARNING
Do not attempt to install a Child Re‐
straint System using ISOFIX ancho‐
rages in the rear center seating po‐
sition. There are no ISOFIX anchorag‐
es provided for this seat. Using the
outboard seat anchorages, for the
CRS installation on the rear center
seating position, can damage the an‐
chorages.
