6. Front-facing/Rear-facing
In order to facilitate buckling in, the seat shell of the RECARO Salia Elite can be rotated towards the door.
To unlock the seat rotation, push the button at the centre of the rotation lock release lever (13) down-
wards first, and then pull the unlocking lever (13) outwards. You can now rotate the seat shell to the side.
Once your child is buckled in, rotate the seat shell back into the starting position.
Make sure the seat shell locks into place securely.
IMPORTANT: The seat rotation indicator must switch to green.
We recommend to transport your child in the rear-facing position for as long as possible. From age
15 months and a body height of at least 76 cm on, it is also permissible transport your child in the
forward-facing position.
7. Setting Up The Resting Position
To adjust the sitting position, loosen the locking mechanism by pulling the sitting position adjustment
lever (15) on the front of the seat shell. You can now push the seat shell into the desired position.
Once the desired position is achieved, release the sitting position adjustment lever (15) and let it lock in.
Check secure locking by pushing or pulling the seat shell.
8. Removing The Child Car Seat
To remove the RECARO Salia Elite, lift the ISOFIX length adjustment lever (14) on the front of the child
car seat up, and pull the child car seat forward a little bit. Now, push the light-grey buttons on the ISOFIX
unlocking lever (18) down, and unlock the ISOFIX connectors by pulling these levers on both sides as
illustrated. You can now remove the RECARO Salia Elite from the vehicle.
The support leg can now be folded in.
9.1 Removing Of Cover And Cleaning Of The Child Car Seat
The seat and seat belt may be cleaned with lukewarm water and soap. The belt lock can be rinsed out
with water if necessary. RECARO seat covers can be machine-washed. We recommend washing the
covers at 30 °C using a delicate wash to protect the environment. Higher temperatures may cause the
colours to fade. Never spin or dry the covers in a dryer, as the fabric may come apart from the padding.
Remove the Velcro fastener as illustrated to remove the shoulder padding from the fastening belts.
As a next step, open the press studs on the pads and remove the shoulder belts.
Now, open the press studs on the back of the headrest.
You can now remove the head rest cover with a forward motion.
The back padding is attached to the headrest with press studs. After opening the press studs, you can
pull off the padding downwards.
To remove the bottom cover part, open the Velcro fasteners in the back area.
Pull the belt lock from the groin strap padding as shown in the illustration.
Loosen the cover by opening the Velcro fasteners on the outside of the seat shell. You can now remove
the cover from the seat shell.
The cover in the shoulder area can be removed once the press studs on the outside have been opened
and the cover has been detached from the hooks.
Thereafter, open the press studs in the back area.
You can now remove the shoulder cover as shown. After washing, please let the cover dry completely
before you re-install it in the reverse order.
