INSTALLING AN ISOFIX CHILD SEAT
TETHER ANCHORAGE POINTS
(Australia only)
WARNING: Child restraint anchorages
are designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted child
restraints. Under no circumstances
are they to be used for adult seat
belts, harnesses or for attaching other
items or equipment to the vehicle.
Always follow the child seat or
restraint system manufacturer’s
instructions when fitting tether straps.
When fitting a child seat or restraint
system, always pass the tether strap
over the top of the seat back and
beneath the head restraint.
If a child seat or restraint system is to
be fitted to the centre seating
position, the centre armrest must be
in the stowed position (folded into the
seat).
To install an ISOFIX child seat:-
1. Locate the ISOFIX locking mechanism.
2. Slide the child seat into the locking
mechanism.
3. If an upper tether is fitted to the child seat,
ensure it is properly secured to the upper
tether anchorages on the rear of the seats.
Test the security of the child restraint. To do
this, attempt to pull the restraint away from the
vehicle seat and twist the restraint from side to
side. Even if the restraint appears secure, you
should still check the anchor points visually, to
ensure correct attachment.
Note: Always ensure that if an upper tether is
provided, it is fitted and tightened correctly.
