Child seat mounting
It is important to remember a number of things when a child restraint system is mounted and used, which depend on where the child restraint system is positioned.
Warning
Child restraint systems with steel braces or some other design that could rest on the seatbelt buckle's opening button must not be used, as they could cause the seatbelt buckle to open accidentally.
Do not secure the straps for the child restraint system into the seat's horizontal adjustment bar or in springs, rails or beams under the seat. Sharp edges may damage the straps.
Do not allow the upper section of the child restraint system to rest against the windscreen.
Note
When using child safety equipment, it is important to read the installation instructions included.
In the event of questions when fitting child safety equipment, contact the manufacturer for clearer instructions.
Note
Never leave a child seat loose in the car. Always secure it according to the instructions for the child seat, even when it is not in use.
Note
Long-term installation and use of child seats may cause wear and tear on the car's fittings.
Installation in the front seat
- When fitting rear-facing child seats, check that the passenger airbag is deactivated.
- When fitting front-facing child seats, check that the passenger airbag is activated.
- Only use child seats that are universally approved or are semi-universal/vehicle-specific, and where the car is included on the manufacturer's vehicle list.
Warning
The belt guide on the front passenger seat must always be used for installing front-facing belt-mounted child restraint systems. The belt guide must not be used for installing rear-facing belt-mounted child restraint systems. See the tables for child restraint systems in the manual for specific information.
Installation in the rear seat
- Only use child seats that are universally approved or are semi-universal/vehicle-specific, and where the car is included on the manufacturer's vehicle list.
- The rear seats are equipped with the ISOFIX attachment system.
- The rear seats are equipped with upper mounting points. Polestar recommends that the upper straps of the child restraint system should be pulled over the head restraint before being secured at the mounting points. If this is not possible, follow the recommendations from the child seat manufacturer.
- If the child seat is equipped with lower straps, never adjust the position of the seat in front after the straps have been fitted in the lower mounting points. Always remember to remove the lower straps when the child seat is not installed.
- If the child seat is equipped with support legs, always fit the support leg/support legs directly to the floor. Never fit a support leg to a footrest or other object.
