To adjust the passenger seat to accommo­date a child's seat and get the seat belt in a perfect position, adjust the passenger back­rest as far forward as possible.1).
Starting with Group 0+ child seats should not be mounted facing backwards in the passen­ger seat given that due to the size of some of them, they can be difficult to install.1).

“ISOFIX” and Top Tether child seat mounting system*
Child seats can be secured quickly, easily and safely
on the rear outer seats with the
“ISOFIX” and Top Tether* system.
Two “ISOFIX” retaining rings are fitted on each rear seat. In some vehicles, the rings are secured to the seat frame and, in others, they are secured to the rear floor. The “ISO-
FIX” rings are located between the rear seat backrest and the seat cushioning. The Top Tether* rings are located at the rear of the backrests of the rear seats (behind the seat backrest or in the boot).

The objective of this strap is to reduce for­ward movements of the child seat in a crash, to reduce the risk of injuries to the head from hitting the inside of the vehicle.
Using the Top Tether in rear-facing mounted seats
