Securing Top Tether
& WARNING Risk of injury or death if the
rear seat backrests are not locked after
fitting Top Tether belts
If the rear seat backrests are not locked, they
could fold forwards in the event of an acci‐
dent, heavy 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
fitting 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
ISOFIX or i-Size and the vehicle.
The child restraint system must be equipped
with a Top Tether belt.
