DANGER
When using the ISOFIX system, use an anti-rotation device. It is recommended to use a top tether strap or a support leg.Note: When buying an ISOFIX child seat, make sure you know the correct weight group and ISOFIX size class for the intended anchorage points. See Child seat positioning.
The ISOFIX system consists of two rigid attachment bars on the child seat that connect to the anchorage points on the outer rear seats, at the junction between the seat cushion and backrest. For child seats with a top tether, the top tether anchorage points are located on the rear of the outer rear seats.
