Child restraint systems with tether
strap
Safety information
Warning
If the upper retaining strap is incorrectly
used for the child restraint system, the
protective effect is reduced. There is a risk
of injury. Make sure that the upper retain-
ing strap does not run over sharp edges
and is not twisted as it passes the upper
anchor.
Warning
If the rear seat backrest is not locked, the
protective effect of the child restraint sys-
tem is limited or there is none. In certain
situations, for instance braking maneuvers
or in case of an accident, the rear seat
backrest can fold forward. There is a risk
of injury or danger to life. Make sure that
the rear seat backrests are locked.
Warning
The mounts for the lower mountings and
attachment points of the child restraint
system are intended for attaching child re-
straint systems only. If other objects are
attached, the mounts or attachment points
can be damaged. There is a risk of injury
or risk of damage to property. Attach child
restraint systems only at the correspond-
ing mounts for the lower mountings or at-
tachment points.
Attachment points
The respective icon shows the at-
tachment point for the upper retain-
ing strap. Seats with an upper top
tether are marked with this icon. It can be
