Important safety notes

G

WARNING

If the rear seat backrests are not locked, they

could fold forwards in the event of an

accident, heavy braking or sudden changes of

direction. As a result, child restraint systems

cannot perform their intended protective

function. Rear seat backrests that are not

locked can also cause additional injuries, e.g.

in the event of an accident. This poses an

increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Always lock rear seat backrests after

installing a Top Tether belt. Observe the lock

verification indicator. Adjust the rear seat

backrests so that they are positioned

vertically.

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.
If the rear seat backrest is not engaged and

locked, this will be shown in the multifunction

display in the instrument cluster. A warning

tone also sounds.
Sedan

The Top Tether anchorages are located in the

rear compartment behind the head restraints.
