Two Installation Methods
NOTE:
Always install child restraint systems by following the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the child
restraint system.
Among many other variants, there are two general types of child restraint systems based on how they are secured in
the seat:
• Belt-based - secured using the vehicle’s seat belts (see
Installing Belt-based Child Restraint Systems on page
• ISOFIX/i-Size - secured to anchor bars built into the vehicle's seats (see
Installing ISOFIX Child Restraint Systems
).
Some child restraint systems can be installed using either method. Refer to the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the child restraint system for detailed installation instructions.
In Model X, belt-based child restraints can be installed in any rear passenger seat and ISOFIX/i-Size systems can be
installed in either of the second row outboard seats. Specific details about the type of child restraint system that can
be used in each seat is provided next.
NOTE:
ISOFIX and i-Size are international standards for integrated anchors used in passenger vehicles to attach child
safety seats.
WARNING:
Do not use ISOFIX/i-Size anchors with child restraint system or booster seats that have an integral
safety belt where the combined weight of the child plus the child restraint system exceeds 33 kg.
