ISOFIX Restraint System
Your vehicle is equipped with the
child restraint anchorage system
called ISOFIX. The ISOFIX system
has three vehicle anchor points for
installing
ISOFIX-equipped
child
seats. There are two lower anchorages
located at the back of the seat cushion
where it meets the seatback and one
top tether anchorage located behind
the seating position. These anchor-
ages are used to install ISOFIX-
equipped child seats without using
the vehicle’s seat belts. Some seating
positions may have a top tether an-
chorage but no lower anchorages. In
these seating positions, the seat belt
must be used with the top tether an-
chorage to install the child restraint.
Locating The ISOFIX Anchorages
The lower anchorages are
round bars that are found at
the rear of the seat cushion
where it meets the seatback,
below the anchorage symbols on the
seatback. They are just visible when
you lean into the rear seat to install
the child restraint. You will easily feel
them if you run your finger along the
gap between the seatback and seat
cushion.
Locating The ISOFIX Anchorages
In addition, there are tether
strap anchorages behind
each rear seating position
located in the panel be-
tween the rear seatback and the rear
