ISOFIX child seats

ISOFIX anchoring points and the ISOFIX fastening system

Your vehicle is ISOFIX approved in conformance with European law ECE 14-06. The lateral rear seats and the front passenger seat are fitted with regulation ISOFIX anchoring points.

Incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises protection of the child in the event of a collision. The ISOFIX system enables you to minimise the risks posed by incorrect fitting.

The ISOFIX fastening system gives you a convenient, strong and reliable fitting for a child seat in your vehicle.

The ISOFIX fastening system

Front (saloon and Tourer)

The ISOFIX system is made up of 3 rings for the front passenger seat:

2 rings A located between the backrest and the seat cushion, with the ISOFIX logo.

A third ring B fixed in the lower section of the rear of the backrest.

Rear (saloon)

The ISOFIX system is made up of 3 rings for each side rear seat :

2 lower rings C located between the backrest and the seat cushion, with the ISOFIX logo.

One top ring D fixed on the rear shelf, concealed under a flap with the TOP TETHER logo behind the head restraint.

Rear (Tourer)

The ISOFIX system is made up of 3 rings for each side rear seat :

2 lower rings C located between the backrest and the seat cushion.

They are approximately 28 cm apart and have the ISOFIX logo.

One top ring E, concealed under a flap with the TOP TETHER logo.

The ISOFIX child seat fastening system

ISOFIX child seats have 2 latches which are easy to anchor on the 2 lower rings A or C.

Some ISOFIX child seats also have an additional belt which is attached to the upper ISOFIX ring D (saloon) or E (Tourer) of the side rear seats.

To attach the top belt, raise the head restraint of the vehicle seat, then pass the buckle between the rods. Next fix the buckle on the top belt D or E and tension the top belt.

This fixing system is intended for children weighing up to 18 kg.

The ISOFIX child seats which can be installed in your vehicle are indicated in the table on the next page.
