Securing a Child Restraint

Designed for the LATCH System

9-5 SportCombi:

Before installation, please read through

these instructions and the child restraint

installation instructions.

1 The top tether anchor is located on the

cargo floor by the rear seat backrest's

lower part (see picture). To access the

top tether anchor, unlock the rear seat

backrest (see page 132 for detailed

instructions), and fold it slightly forward.

Note! Backrest only, not the seat cush-

ion.

2 The top tether anchor is originally

rotated downwards. To use it, it has to be

rotated upwards (see arrow in picture).

Use the top tether anchor right behind

the seating position you want to use.

3 Raise the vehicle head restraint to its

highest position (see page 21 for

detailed instructions).

4 Put the child restraint on the seat.

5 If you are using a single top tether, route

the top tether under the vehicle head

restraint, and attach the top tether hook

to the top tether anchor. If you are using

a dual top tether, route the top tether

around the vehicle head restraint, and

attach the top tether hook to the top

tether anchor. The child restraint

instructions will show you how.

6 Reposition the rear seat backrest, and

make sure it locks properly. Check the

indicator on top of the backrest that it is

locked.

7 Find the lower anchors for the seating

position you want to use. The lower

anchors are located where the bottom of

the seatback meets the back of the seat

cushion. Above each lower anchor,

there is a label indicating its location

(see picture on page 24).

8 Attach and tighten the lower anchor

attachments on the child restraint to the

vehicle lower anchors. If your child

restraint does not have the lower attach-

ments, you will be using the lap-shoul-

der belt to secure the child restraint. The

child restraint instructions will show

you how.

9 Tighten the top tether strap according to

the child restraint instructions.

10 Push and pull the child restraint in differ-

ent directions to be sure it is secured at

the lower anchors/safety belt and the top

tether anchor. The child restraint shall

be firmly attached to the vehicle.

WARNING

Make sure the child restraint anchorages

are folded all the way up or down other-

wise it can obstruct locking the rear seat

backrest.

WARNING

If a cargo net is fitted, do not pull the top

tether strap through the cargo net in such

a way that there is slack in the strap to the

child seat.
