Installing with Isofix

Insert the guides through the upholstery slot between the back rest and seat and on to the Isofix bracket. This is not necessary when such guides have already been installed, e.g. BMW. Ensure that the open side area faces upwards. In some vehicles, the isofix brackets are located behind the seat fabric and are not visible; in this situation please contact your vehicle manufacturer or dealer.
