Securing Top Tether
& WARNING Risk of injury if the seat
backrests of the rear seats are not
locked after installing the 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. This poses an
increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
#
Always lock the rear seat backrests
after installing the Top Tether belts.
#
Observe the lock verification indicator.
If the seat backrest is not engaged and locked,
this will be shown in the multifunction display in
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.
