Securing a Top Tether
&
WARNING Risk of injury or death if the
rear seat backrests are not locked after
installing Top Tether belts
If the rear seat backrests are not locked, they
could fold forwards in the event of an acci‐
dent or during 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.
#
Always lock rear seat backrests after
installing Top Tether belts.
#
Observe the lock verification indicator.
Ensure that the rear seat backrest is engaged. To
do so, pull forcefully on the seat backrest.
¯
If the child restraint system is equipped
with a Top Tether belt:
The risk of injury can be reduced by a Top
Tether. The Top Tether belt facilitates an
additional connection between the child
restraint system attached with LATCH-
type (ISOFIX) and the vehicle.
The Top Tether anchorages for the second row of
seats are located on the rear side of the seat
backrest. For the third row of seats, use the Top
Tether anchorage on the rear side of the seat
backrest.
