Securing Top Tether
WARNING Risk of injury or death if the rear seat backrests are not locked after fitting Top Tether belts

If the rear seat backrests are not locked, they could fold forwards in the event of an accident, heavy braking or sudden changes of direction.

As a result, child restraint systems cannot perform their intended protective function. Rear seat backrests that are not locked can also cause additional injuries, e.g. in the event of an accident.

Always lock rear seat backrests after fitting Top Tether belts.
Observe the lock verification indicator.

If the seat backrest is not engaged and locked, this will be shown on the multifunction display on the instrument cluster.
