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 restraint systems that are recommended by Polestar, universally approved or are semi-universal/vehicle-specific, and where the car is included on the manufacturer's vehicle list.
- ISOFIX child seats can only be fitted when the car is equipped with the ISOFIX console1.
- The passenger seat is equipped with the ISOFIX fixture system and is approved for i-Size1.
- The passenger seat is equipped with upper mounting point1. Polestar recommends routing the child seat's upper straps through the hole in the head restraint before they are tensioned at the mounting point. If this is not possible, follow the recommendations from the child seat manufacturer.
- If the child seat is equipped with lower straps, Polestar recommends that the lower mounting points are used with these1.
- 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.
- The ISOFIX guide can be used in order to facilitate child seat installation.
Installation in the rear seat
- Only use child restraint systems that are recommended by Polestar, universally approved or are semi-universal/vehicle-specific, and where the car is included on the manufacturer's vehicle list.
- A child seat with support legs must not be fitted in the centre seat.
- The outer seats are equipped with the ISOFIX fixture system and are approved for i-Size1.
- The outer seats are equipped with upper mounting points. Polestar recommends routing the child seat's upper straps through the hole in the head restraint before they are tensioned at the mounting point. 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.
