Securing a Top Tether
WARNING Risk of injury or death if the rear seat backrests are not locked after fitting Top Tether belts

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.

Always lock rear seat backrests after fitting Top Tether belts.
Observe the lock verification indicator.

Ensure that the rear seat backrest is engaged. To do so, pull forcefully on the seat backrest.

If the child restraint system is equipped with a Top Tether belt:

The risk of injury can be reduced by a Top Tether. The Top Tether belt facilitates an additional connection between the child restraint system attached with ISOFIX or i‑Size and the vehicle.

The Top Tether anchorages for the second row of seats are located on the rear side of the two outer rear seats on the second row of seats. For the third row of seats, use the Top Tether anchorage on the rear side of the seat backrest on the third row of seats.
