ISO Fix Child Seat
Details & Technology
ISOFIX child seat anchors are included with the first- and second-row rear bench seats.
Child seat anchors are designed to secure children weighing up to 22kg [48 lbs.]. Children
weighing 22kg [48 lbs.] or more should secure the latch-type child restraint with the lap-
shoulder belt.
The three-seater bench is fitted with two set of ISOFIX bars and three top tethers. The
special child seat snaps into place using the ISOFIX bars (2 ISOFIX bars are required), thereby
establishing a firm connection between the seat and the vehicle. The top part of the child seat
backrest is attached by means of a belt-like tether to the top tether anchor on the rear of the
seat bench.
Benefits
• Allows quick and easy child seat mounting
Allows for quick and easy child seat attachment. The top tether limits rotation of the child
seat and thus reduces load forces on the cervical vertebrae during a frontal impact. The
rotation effect is caused by the child seat pivoting about its lower attachment points. The
extent of this forward rotation will vary depending on the firmness of the seat cushion.
Forward rotation imposes greater loads on the cervical vertebrae.
