Child seat security
All of the rear belt retractors and the front
passenger's safety belt can be locked for
mounting and securing child-restraint sys-
tems.
Information regarding this is located near
the buckle latch of each safety belt.
To lock safety belt
Pull the entire length of the belt from the
belt retractor. Allow the reel to retract the
belt somewhat and engage the buckle,
then tighten the belt against the child-
restraint system. The retraction mechanism
is now locked.
To unlock safety belt
Release the buckle, remove the child-
restraint system and allow the belt retractor
to reel the belt completely in.
Coupe: child-restraint system with
tether strap
If you use a child-restraint system with a
tether strap, two additional tether anchor-
age points have been provided – refer to
the arrows in the illustration. Depending on
the location selected for sitting in the rear
passenger area, attach the tether strap to
the corresponding anchorage point to
secure the child-restraint system, as
shown in the illustration below.
Each sitting position is fitted with a head
restraint.
The head restraint must be adjusted into
the lowest possible position. Pass the
tether strap over the head restraint.
Adjust the tether strap according to
the child-restraint manufacturer's
instructions.<
