6) Securing a Child Restrain System with “ISOFIX” System

How to use the ISOFIX Lower Latch Anchor

▶

The ISOFIX lower latch anchors are located in 

the left and right outboard rear seating 

positions. Their locations (1) are shown in the 

illustration.

Insert the child restraint attachments into the 

ISOFIX lower latch anchors until it clicks.

Do not use the seat belt for installing the 

ISOFIX child restraint.

-

ISOFIX system is a standardised method of 

fitting child seats that eliminates the need to use 

the standard adult seatbelt to secure the seat in 

the vehicle. This enables a much more secure 

and positive location with the added benefit of 

easier and quicker installation.

When using the “ISOFIX” lower latch system, all unused vehicle rear seat belt metal latch 

plates or tabs must be latched securely in their seat belt buckles and the seat belt webbing must 

be retracted behind the child restraint to prevent the child from reaching and taking hold of 

unretracted seat belts. Unlatched metal latch plates or tabs may allow the child to reach the 

unretracted seat belts which may result in strangulation and a serious injury or death to the child in 

the child restraint.

Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted 

child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts or harnesses or for 

attaching other items or equipment to the vehicle.

How to use the Top Tether

▶

The top tether anchors for securing the child 

seat are located on the back side of second 

row seat.

Remove the headrest from the second row 

seat.

Place the child restraint on the second row 

seat.

Connect the tether connector in child 

restraint to the rear anchor. Securely tighten 

the child restraint by adjusting the webbing of 

the tether connector.

-

The rear anchor is the supplemental device to secure the child restraint system after engaging it 

by the lower latches. Therefore, do not secure the child restraint system only with the seatback 

anchors. The increased load may cause the hooks or anchors to break, causing serious injury or 

death.

If a child restraint is not properly secured to the vehicle and a child is not properly restrained in 

the child restraint, the child could be seriously injured or killed in a collision. Always follow  the 

instructions provided by the manufacturer for installation.

Make sure the latches of the child restraint system are latched to the lower latches. In this case, 
you can hear the “click” sound.

Incorrectly installed child restraint system may cause an unexpected personal injury.

Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted 

child restraints.

The tether strap may not work properly if attached somewhere other than the correct rear 

anchor.

Rock the child restraint to check if it is securely installed. Refer to instructions provided by the 

manufacturer of the child restraint.

Do not install the child restraint if it hinders the operations of front seat.
