Installing the LATCHISOfix seat

To ensure that the LATCHISOfix child
seat is installed safely, read all the
information provided in this Section.

!

WARNING:

Always follow the manufacturer’s
instructions supplied with the
LATCHISOfix child seat. The following
is to be considered only as a guide.

Fit the seat as follows:

1. Push the adult seat belt buckles into

their stowage recesses, to ensure
they do not interfere with the fitment
of the child seat.

2. Make sure there is nothing

obstructing the seat mounting
mechanism at the anchorage points.

3. Release the lever on the rear of the

seat and fully extend the two
attachment legs on the child seat.
Ensure the hook at the end of each leg
is open.

4. Position the attachment legs just in

front of the trimmed apertures for the
LATCHISOfix anchorage loops (see
illustration). Push the anchorage leg
through the trimmed aperture to
engage with the vehicle’s anchorage
loop. There should be an audible
click.

5. Repeat Step 4 for the seat’s second

anchorage leg.

6. Using firm and even pressure on both

sides, push the child seat rearwards
until it is secured firmly against the
seat back. Make sure you do not trap
the top tether strap behind the child
seat.

7. If your vehicle is fitted with top tether

anchorages brackets, make sure that
the top tether strap is secured to the
anchorage bracket, see page 106.

8. As a final check, firmly pull both sides

of the seat to confirm that it is
correctly locked in position.

Caution: Always follow the
manufacturer’s instructions supplied
with the LATCHISOFIX child seat.

Removing the LATCHISOfix seat

To remove the LATCHISOfix child seat,
press the locking button on each side of
the seat to release anchorage legs. If your
vehicle is fitted with top tether
anchorages, undo the top tether strap
and lift the child seat from the vehicle.

BOOSTER CUSHIONS

If a booster cushion is used, position the
lap section of the adult seat belt over the
child’s pelvis. The diagonal seat belt
should rest on the child’s shoulder, not
the neck.
