Securing the child Restraint seat with
the "ISOFIX" system
Some child seat manufacturers make safety
seats that are labeled as ISOFIX or ISOFIX-
compatible child seats. These seats include two
rigid or webbing mounted attachments that
connect to two ISOFIX anchors at specific
seating positions in your vehicle. This type of
child seat eliminates the need to use seat belts
to attach the child seat for forward-facing child
seats.
ISOFIX anchors have been provided in your
vehicle. The ISOFIX anchors are located in the
left and right outboard rear seating positions.
Their locations are shown in the illustration.
There is no ISOFIX anchor provided for the
center rear seating position.
WARNING:
o A child can be seriously injured or killed
in a collision if the child restraint is not
properly anchored. Always follow the
child seat manufacturer’s instructions
for installation and use.
o Never install a child restraint using the
ISOFIX anchors at the center position of
the rear seat. In a crash, the ISOFIX
anchors may break if a car seat is improp-
erly placed in the center position result-
ing in serious or fatal injuries. Only place
a ISOFIX or ISOFIX-compatible child seat
in the left or right out-board rear seating
positions (as shown) to the appropriate
ISOFIX anchors provided.
o Never mount more than one child re-
straint to a single tether or to a single
lower anchorage point. The increased
load caused by multiple seats may cause
the tethers or anchorage points to break,
causing serious injury or death.

o When using the vehicle’s “ISOFIX” sys-
tem to install a child restraint system in
the rear seat, all unused vehicle rear seat
belt metal latch plates or tabs must be
latched securely in their seat belt buck-
les and the seat belt webbing must be
retracted behind the child restraint to
prevent the child from reaching and tak-
ing hold of unretracted seat belts. Un-
latched metal latch plates or tabs may
allow the child to reach the unretracted
seat belts which may result in strangu-
lation and a serious injury or death to the
child in the child restraint.
