• 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 Sys‐
tem, adjust the vehicle seat and seat‐
back (up and down, forward and rear‐
ward) so that your child fits in the
Child Restraint System in a comforta‐
ble manner.
• Secure the child in the Child Restraint
System. Make sure the child is prop‐
erly strapped in the Child Restraint
System according to the Child Re‐
straint System manufacturer’s in‐
structions.
CAUTION
A Child Restraint System in a closed
vehicle can become very hot. To pre‐
vent burns, check the seating sur‐
face and buckles before placing your
child in the Child Restraint System.
ISOFIX anchorage and top-
tether anchorage (ISOFIX
anchorage system) for children
The ISOFIX system holds a Child Re‐
straint System during driving and in an
accident. This system is designed to
make installation of the Child Restraint
System easier and reduce the possibili‐
ty of improperly installing 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 anchorages are metal bars built
into the vehicle. There are two lower
anchors for each ISOFIX seating 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 manufac‐
turer will provide you with instructions
on how to use the Child Restraint Sys‐
tem with its attachments for the ISO‐
FIX anchorages.
ISOFIX anchorages have been provided
in the left and right outboard rear seat‐
ing 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.
