Volkswagen ID.4: Securing systems

Different securing systems are used for safe installation of child restraints depending on the country.

Only use the securing systems described here to secure child restraints in the vehicle.

Overview of securing systems

  • LATCH/UAS: LATCH/UAS is a standardized securing system to quickly and securely install child restraints in a vehicle. The ISOFIX fastener creates a fixed connection between the child restraint and the vehicle body.

The child restraint has two fixed fastening brackets or arms. The attachment arms snap into the LATCH/UCRA universal lower anchorages located between the seat cushion and the rear seat backrest (→ Child restraint with LATCH/UAS or i-Size). Supplement the ISOFIX fastener with a top tether safety belt or a support bracket, if necessary.

  • Three-point safety belt. If available, it is better to secure child restraints to the ISOFIX fastener using a three-point safety belt (→ Child restraint with a safety belt).

Additional fasteners:

  • Top Tether: the upper belt is guided over the rear seat backrest and secured to the anchorage point on the rear side of the rear seats using a hook (→ Child restraint with the upper strap (top tether) ). Top tether anchorages are labeled with an anchor symbol.
  • Support base: some child restraints are supported with a support base on the vehicle floor. The support base reduces the risk of the child restraint tipping forward in the event of a collision. Only use child restraints with a support base on the front passenger seat and the outer rear positions of the bench seat → .

WARNING

Unsecured or incorrectly secured children can experience severe or fatal injuries.

WARNING

Incorrect use of the support base can cause severe or fatal injuries.

  • Make sure the support base is installed correctly and securely.

WARNING

Anchorage points for child restraint systems are designed so that they will only withstand the loads generated by correctly adjusted child restraint systems. The anchorage points must never be used for safety belts, items of equipment or other objects in or on the vehicle.
