fect can be reduced. There is a risk of injury.  
Make sure that the upper retaining strap does  
not run over sharp edges and is not twisted as  
it passes the upper anchor.

If the LATCH child restraint fixing systems are  
not correctly engaged, the protective effect of  
the LATCH child restraint fixing system can be  
limited. There is a risk of injuries or danger to  
life. Make sure that the lower anchors are se‐
