Notes on ISOFIX and i-Size child seat
securing systems
G
WARNING
For ISOFIX or i‑Size child restraint sys-
tems, where the child is secured using the
integrated seat belt of the child restraint
system, the permissible gross weight of
the child and the child restraint system is
33 kg.
If the child together with the child
restraint system weighs more than 33 kg,
ISOFIX or i‑Size child restraint systems
with integrated seat belt no longer offer
sufficient protection. ISOFIX or i‑Size child
seat securing systems may be overloaded
and will not be able to restrain the child,
for example, in the event of an accident.
This poses an increased risk of injury or
even fatal injury.
If the child together with the child
restraint system weighs more than 33 kg ,
only use ISOFIX or i-Size child restraint
systems with which the child is secured
with the vehicle seat belt. Also secure the
child restraint system with the Top Tether
belt, if available.
