Securing Top Tether
& WARNING Risk of injury or death if the
rear seat backrests are not locked after
installing Top Tether belts
If the rear seat backrests are not locked, they
could fold forwards in the event of an acci‐
dent or during braking or sudden changes of
direction.
As a result, child restraint systems 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.
#
Always lock rear seat backrests after
installing Top Tether belts.
#
Observe the lock verification indicator.
If the seat backrest is not engaged and locked,
this will be shown on the multifunction display
on the instrument cluster.
The risk of injury can be reduced by Top Tether
as Top Tether provides an additional connection
between the child restraint system secured with
LATCH-type (ISOFIX) and the vehicle.
The child restraint system must be equipped
with a Top Tether belt.
#
Install the LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint
system with Top Tether on the rear seat.
Always comply with the child restraint sys‐
tem manufacturer's installation instructions
when doing so.

twisted and the rear seat backrest is locked.
