Important safety notes

WARNING
If the red display is visible when the rear seat
backrest is upright, it means the rear seat
backrest is not engaged correctly.
Always engage the rear seat backrests in an
upright position if there are passengers in the
rear compartment. Engage the rear seat
backrests in an upright position after you have
installed the Top Tether belt or if the extended
cargo compartment is not being used. Push
and pull the rear seat backrests to check
whether they are engaged correctly. The rear
seat backrest may fold down if it is not
engaged correctly. The child restraint system
is then no longer supported correctly or held
in position and can no longer perform its
intended function. This can cause serious or
even fatal injuries.
Top Tether provides an additional connection
between a child restraint system, secured
with a LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child seat mount,
and the rear seat. This helps reduce the risk
of injury even further.
The Top Tether anchorage points are installed
on the rear side of the rear seat backrests.
X Move head restraint : upwards.
X Release rear seat backrest = and fold it
forwards (
Y page 240).
X Route Top Tether belt B under head
restraint : between the two head restraint
bars.
