LATCH child restraint fixing

system

LATCH: Lower Anchor and Tethers for CHil-
dren.

For attachment and use of LATCH child
restraint fixing systems, follow the oper-

ating and safety instructions of the system
manufacturer.

<

Before attaching the child's seat, pull the belt
out of the vicinity of the child's seat attachment
points.

Make sure that the LATCH anchors have
correctly engaged and the child restraint

system is resting snugly against the backrest.

<

Rear seats

The anchorage points for the LATCH mounts
are located behind the cover caps. Before
installing the child's seat, pull the cover caps
out toward the front.

Child restraint system with tether strap

The top tether strap attachment points
are only intended for attachment of child

restraint systems; other uses can damage the
attachment points.

<

For child restraint systems with tether straps,
there are three additional attachment points,
refer to arrows, under covers in the floor of the
cargo area. To use them, remove the necessary
cover with a screwdriver.

Routing of tether strap

Make sure that the tether strap is not
routed over sharp objects and does not

twist on its way to the attachment point; other-
wise, the belt can fail to properly secure the
child restraint system in the event of an acci-
dent.
