Safety features of your vehicle ISOFIX anchorage and top-tether anchorage (ISOFIX
anchorage system) for children
After selecting a proper Child Restraint
System for your child and checking that
the Child Restraint System fits properly
on the seating position, there are three
general steps for a proper installation:
僅
Properly secure the Child Restraint
System to the vehicle.
All Child
Restraint Systems must be secured to
the vehicle with the lap belt or lap part
of a lap/shoulder belt or with the ISO
-
FIX toptether and/or ISOFIX anchor
-
age and/or with the support leg.
僅
Make sure the Child Restraint Sys
-
tem is firmly secured.
After installing
a Child Restraint System to the vehi
-
cle, push and pull the seat forward
and from side-to-side to verify that it
is securely attached to the seat. A
Child Restraint System secured with a
seat belt should be installed as firmly
as possible. However, some side-to-
side movement can be expected.
When installing a Child Restraint Sys
-
tem, adjust the vehicle seat and seat
-
back (up and down, forward and
rearward) so that your child fits in the
Child Restraint System in a comfort
-
able manner.
僅
Secure the child in the Child
Restraint System.
Make sure the
child is properly strapped in the Child
Restraint System according to the
Child Restraint System manufac
-
turer's instructions.
A Child Restraint System in a closed
vehicle can become very hot. To prevent
burns, check the seating surface and
buckles before placing your child in the
Child Restraint System.

dren
The ISOFIX system holds a Child
Restraint System during driving and in
an accident. This system is designed to
make installation of the Child Restraint
System easier and reduce the possibility
of improperly installing your Child
Restraint System. The ISOFIX system
uses anchors in the vehicle and attach
-
ments on the Child Restraint System.
The ISOFIX system eliminates the need
to use seat belts to secure the Child
Restraint System to the rear seats.
ISOFIX anchorages are metal bars built
into the vehicle. There are two lower
anchors for each ISOFIX seating position
that will accommodate a Child Restraint
System with lower attachments.
To use the ISOFIX system in your vehi
-
cle, you must have a Child Restraint Sys
-
tem with ISOFIX attachments.
The Child Restraint System manufac
-
turer will provide you with instructions
on how to use the Child Restraint Sys
-
tem with its attachments for the ISOFIX
anchorages.
ISOFIX anchorages have been provided
in the left and right outboard rear seat
-
ing positions. Their locations are shown
in the illustration.
