The seat belt may be used to secure univer- sal type child seats to the vehicle seats marked with a U in the table below.
If the front passenger seat lacks a height ad­justment, child seats cannot be mounted is this location.
To correctly use a child seat in the back, the front backrest must be adjusted so that there is no contact with the child seat in the back in the case that it goes opposite to the direc­tion of the car. In the case of front facing re­straint systems, the front backrest must be

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.
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.

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
Currently, there are very few rear-facing child safety seats that have Top Tether. Please carefully read and follow the seat manufac­turer instructions to learn the proper way to install the Top Tether strap.
