Child tether anchorages, Convert-
ible models
Child restraints with a tether strap must be
anchored according to law.
The car is provided with two top tether
anchorages. Use the one that is right behind
the child restraint and attach the restraint as
follows:
1 Lower the convertible top fully.
2 Switch off the ignition when the top stor-
age covers are in their straight up posi-
tion.
3 Place the child restraint in the rear seat.
4 Unlock the backrest and lower it about
8in. (20cm).
5 Insert the child restraint´s upper tether
between the bottom of the headrest and
the top of the backrest.
6 Run the hook and the tether over the
cross-member behind the headrest.
7 There are slits in the fabric where the top
bag is joined to the cross-member.
Insert hook and strap through the slit
opening.
8 Attach the tether to the anchorage. This
might be easier if you insert your other
hand between the backrest and the
crossmember to help attach the tether.
9 Raise the backrest and lock in place.
10 Tighten the tether so that the back of the
child restraint is pressed hard against
the backrest. Also check that no buckle
is positioned above the cross-member,
as this could obstruct locking of the ton-
neau cover.
11 Secure the lower part of the child
restraint by means of the seat belt as
described in the child restraint mounting
instructions.
WARNING
Child tether anchorages are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted child restraints.
Under no circumstances are they to be
used for:
• Adult safety belts.
• Harnesses.
• Attaching other items or equipment to
the vehicle.
• Load securing device.
