cannot perform their intended protective
function. Rear seat backrests that are not
locked can also cause additional injuries, e.g.
in the event of an accident. This poses an
increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Always lock rear seat backrests after fitting a
Top Tether belt. Observe the lock verification
indicator. Adjust the rear seat backrests so
that they are positioned vertically.
Top Tether provides an additional connection
between the ISOFIX child restraint system
secured with ISOFIX and the rear seat. It
helps reduce the risk of injury even further.
If the rear seat backrest is not engaged and
locked, this will be shown in the multifunction
display in the instrument cluster. A warning
tone also sounds.
