ISOFIX is a standardized securing system for

specially designed child restraint systems on

the rear seats. Securing rings for two LATCH-

type (ISOFIX) child restraint systems are

installed on the left and right of the rear seats.
Non-LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child seats may

also be used and can be installed using the

vehicle's seat belt system. Install the child

seat according to the manufacturer's instruc-

tions.
The securing rings on the rear seats are cov-

WARNING

If the rear seat backrests are not locked, they

could fold forwards in the event of an acci-

dent, heavy braking or sudden changes of

direction. As a result, child restraint systems

cannot perform their intended protective

function. Rear seat backrests that are not

locked can also cause additional injuries, e.g.

in the event of an accident. This poses an

increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Always lock rear seat backrests after instal-

ling a Top Tether belt. Observe the lock veri-

fication indicator. Adjust the rear seat backr-

ests so that they are in an upright position.

If the rear seat backrest is not engaged and

locked, this will be shown in the multifunction

display in the instrument cluster. A warning

tone also sounds.
Top Tether provides an additional connection

between a child restraint system, secured

with a LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child seat mount,

and the rear seat. This helps reduce the risk of

injury even further.
The Top Tether anchorage points are installed

in the rear compartment behind the head

restraints.
