Upper attachment points and symbols on the back of the rear seat backrest.

Securing a child seat

Place the child restraint on the rear seat.
Route the top tether strap under the head restraint and attach it to the anchor.
Attach the strap for the lower tether anchors in the lower ISOFIX/LATCH attachment points. If the child restraint is not equipped with straps for the lower tether anchors, follow the instructions for attaching a child restraint using the automatic locking seat belt.
Firmly tension all straps.

Refer also to the child seat manufacturer's instructions for information on securing the child seat.

 Note

The parcel shelf must be removed before a child seat can be installed in the anchors.

 Warning

  • Always refer to the recommendations made by the child restraint manufacturer.
  • Polestar recommends that the top tether anchors be used when installing a forward-facing child restraint.
  • Never route a top tether strap over the top of the head restraint. The strap should be routed beneath the head restraint.
  • Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts or harnesses. The anchorages are not able to withstand excessive forces on them in the event of collision if full harness seat belts or adult seat belts are installed to them. An adult who uses a belt anchored in a child restraint anchorage runs a great risk of suffering severe injuries should a collision occur.
  • Do not install rear speakers that require the removal of the top tether anchors or interfere with the proper use of the top tether strap.
