BOOSTER CUSHIONS

In a situation where a child is too large to fit
into a child safety seat, but is still too small to
safely fit the three point belt properly, a booster
seat is recommended for maximum safety.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for
fitting and use, then adjust the seat belt to suit.

ISOFIX ANCHOR POINTS

Both of the outer seat positions on the rear seat
are equipped to accept ISOFIX restraints.

This symbol is shown on a label
sewn into the seats to indicate the
position of the ISOFIX lower

anchorages.

WARNINGS

Do not attempt to fit ISOFIX restraints
to the centre seating position. The

anchor bars are not designed to hold an
ISOFIX restraint in this position.

If the restraint is not correctly
anchored, there is a significant risk of

injury to the child in the event of a collision or
emergency braking.

Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only 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.

If removing a head restraint in order to
fit a child restraint, always secure the

head restraint when storing it. If left loose in
the vehicle it may cause death or serious
injury during sudden braking or an impact.

ISOFIX child seats

• IUF = Suitable for ISOFIX forward child

restraint systems of universal category
approved for use in the mass group.

• IL = These ISOFIX child restraint systems

are of the specific vehicle, restricted, or
semi-universal categories.

Installing an ISOFIX child seat

To install an ISOFIX child seat :-

1. Raise or remove the head restraint.

2. Lift the velcro flap to expose the ISOFIX

locking mechanism.

3. Slide the child seat into the locking

mechanism.

4. 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.

Tether anchorages are provided at each rear
outboard seating position.

Note: A tether anchorage is provided for the
centre seat position, but should only be used
when a non- ISOFIX child seat with a tether is
used in this seating position.

CHILD SAFETY LOCKS

Child safety locks are fitted to the rear doors to
allow you to prevent accidental opening of the
doors when the vehicle is in motion.

If children are to be carried in the rear seat
positions, it is recommended that the rear door
interior handles are disabled.

Note: For convenience the rear door interior
handles should be re-enabled when carrying
adult passengers in the rear seat positions.

To change the child lock settings :-

1. Open the door to access the child safety

lock.

2. Insert the emergency key into the slot, and

rotate a quarter of a turn to enable, or
disable the interior door handle as
required.
