Never attach two child-restraint systems to
the same ISOFIX/LATCH

*1

 lower anchor:

Attaching two child-restraint systems to
the same ISOFIX/LATCH

*1

 lower anchor is

dangerous. In a collision, one anchor may
not be strong enough to hold two
child-restraint system attachments, and it
may break, causing serious injury or death.
If you use the seat position for another
child-restraint system when an outboard
ISOFIX/LATCH

*1

 position is occupied, use

the center seat belts instead, and the tether
if tether-equipped.

Make sure the child-restraint system is
properly secured:

An unsecured child-restraint system is
dangerous. In a sudden stop or a collision it
could move causing serious injury or death
to the child or other occupants. Follow the
child-restraint system manufacturer's
instructions on belt routing to secure the
seat just as you would with a child in it so
that nobody is tempted to put a child in an
improperly secured seat later on. When not
in use, remove it from the vehicle or fasten
it with a seat belt, or attach it to BOTH
ISOFIX/LATCH

 lower anchors for ISOFIX/

LATCH

 child-restraint systems.

Make sure there are no seat belts or foreign
objects near or around the ISOFIX/LATCH

*1

child-restraint system:

Not following the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions when
installing the child-restraint system is
dangerous. If seat belts or a foreign object
prevent the child-restraint system from
being securely attached to the ISOFIX/
LATCH

*1

 lower anchors and the

child-restraint system is installed
improperly, the child-restraint system could
move in a sudden stop or collision causing
serious injury or death to the child or other
occupants. When installing the
child-restraint system, make sure there are
no seat belts or foreign objects near or
around the ISOFIX/LATCH

*1

 lower anchors.

Always follow the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions.
