2.1 FITTING THE GR. 0+ CAR SEAT IN THE
VEHICLE USING RIGID CONNECTORS
AND TOP TETHER (0-13 KG)
For the Group 0+ configuration, the car seat
must ALWAYS be rear-facing, with the airbag
deactivated.
Installation must ALWAYS be carried out using
the rigid connectors and Top Tether.
• Use the lever (M) to rotate the seat 180°, verify-
ing that it has locked in the rear-facing posi-
tion (Fig. 5).
• Use the recline lever (L), to line up the red ar-
row with position R (Fig. 6).
• Position the car seat on the seat of the vehicle
in the rear-facing direction.
• Pull the rigid connectors out completely (C),
by using the button (D) (Fig. 7).
• Fasten the connectors to the hooks present
between the backrest and the seat (Fig. 8).
Once fastening occurs, you will hear a typi-
cal "click" and the indicator will change from
red to green.
• Firmly push the car seat toward the backrest of
the vehicle seat to ensure the best fit (Fig. 9).
• Pass the Top Tether (V) through the indicated
belt guide (P) (Fig. 10).
• Check that the Top Tether belt is properly
positioned inside the indicated belt guide
(Fig. 11).
• WARNING! Pass the Top Tether between the
top of the car seat backrest and the head-
rest. Never pass the Top Tether above the car
headrest (Fig. 12).
WARNING! Refer to your car's user manual to
identify where the Top Tether of the child car
seat is attached to the car. This fastening point
is denoted with a specific label (Fig. 13) and
can be found in the positions indicated by the
figures 13A – 13B – 13C – 13D.
WARNING! Check that the Top Tether fastener
used is the one that has been specially desig-
nated. Do not confuse it with a ring used for
hanging bags.
• Once you have identified the fastening point,
connect the Top Tether hook (V) to it. Adjust
the length of the Top Tether belt by forcefully
pulling the belt until it is tight. The indicator
on the belt goes green when the tether is
suitably tight (Fig. 14). Roll up any excess belt
and tie up using the velcro. The mini reducer
cushion is to be used from birth up to 6 kg.
Once installation is complete place the baby
in the seat as follows:
• Press the belt adjustment button (O) and
hold and pull both the car seat belts toward
yourself until the maximum length is reached
(Fig. 15).
• Unbuckle the car seat belts by pressing the
button on the buckle (Fig. 16).
• Place the baby in the car seat with care, join
the two buckle tongues and fasten them
once again (Fig. 17).
• Using the appropriate lever (S), adjust the
height of the headrest, so that the belts exit
at the height of the baby's shoulders (Fig. 18).
• To adjust belt tightness, pull the adjustment
strap (N) upwards with caution until the belt
is suitably tight (Fig. 19).
To remove the car seat, unhook the car seat
belts and the rigid connectors (C) by pushing
the release buttons (D).
