Securing Child Seats with the Top Tether

On the rear of the rear bench seat: top tether anchor points for top tether

ISOFIX child seats with "universal" approval must be secured with an upper strap (top tether) in addition to the ISOFIX anchor points.

Secure the top tether only at the top tether anchor points provided for this purpose. The anchor points for use with the top tether are marked by a symbol and sometimes also with "TOP TETHER".

Securing the Top Tether

On the rear of the outer seats on the rear bench seat: attached top tether

  1. Observe the instructions.

  2. Push the head restraint on the vehicle seat all the way up or remove it.

  3. Position the child seat in the center of the seat cushion.

  4. Push the fixing arms on the child seat into the ISOFIX anchor points in the direction of the arrow. The child seat must click and audibly securely into place.

  5. Remove the luggage compartment cover if necessary.

  6. Guide the top tether of the child seat to the rear over the seat and hook it into the corresponding anchor point labelled "Top Tether".

  7. Tighten the top tether so that the child seat is positioned against the upper section of the rear seat backrest.
