Different mounting systems
Always secure child seats properly and safely in the vehic manufacturer's installation instructions.
Mounted child seats must rest correctly on the vehicle's seat and must not move or rock more than 2.5 cm (1 inch).
Child seats equipped for a Top Tether strap must also be secured using the Top Tether re­taining strap in the vehicle ››› page 24. Only secure the retaining belt to the rings fitted for this purpose and identified as Top Tether. Not all rings can be used with the Top Tether system. Always tighten the Top Tether retain­ing strap so that the child seat fits snugly against the corresponding seat in the vehi­cle.
