• After having lifted the fabric from the seat,
position the buckle in the appropriate com-
partment located near the feet (Fig. 51).
• Roll up the belts and place them in the com-
partments present to the sides of the seat
(Fig. 52).

2.5 INSTALLING THE CAR SEAT IN THE
CAR AND PLACING THE CHILD IN THE
GROUP 2/3 CONFIGURATION (15-36
KG) WITH RIGID CONNECTORS AND
THE CAR'S THREE-POINT SEAT BELT.
WARNING! Use the reclined car seat in posi-
tions 1 and 2. NEVER use positions R and 3.
The installation must ALWAYS make use of the
rigid connectors and the car's 3-point seat belt.
• Position the car seat on the seat of the vehicle
in the front-facing direction.
• Pull the rigid connectors out completely (C),
by using the button (D) (Fig. 55).
• Fasten the connectors to the hooks present
between the backrest and the seat (Fig. 56).
Once fastening occurs, you will hear a typical
"click" and the indicator will change from red
to green.
• Run the diagonal segment of the vehicle seat
belt behind the headrest and through the red
belt guide on the headrest (Q) (Fig. 57).
• Place the child in the car seat, verifying that
the child's back rests firmly against the back-
rest of the car seat.
• Hook the vehicle seat belt to the buckle (Fig. 58).
• When adjusting the headrest check that the
diagonal belt guide (Q) is located above the
shoulder at a maximum distance of 2 cm (Fig.
59).
• Pull the diagonal portion of the belt toward
the retractor, so that the belt is tight and fits
snugly against the chest and legs of the child
(Fig. 60).
WARNING!
• Always check that the seat belt is distributed
evenly in all points and that it is not twisted.
• Check that the diagonal seat belt fits correctly
across the child's shoulder and does not press
on the child's neck; If necessary, adjust the
headrest.
• Check that the car safety belt retractor is be-
hind the backrest of the car seat (Fig. 61).

in chapter 2.3.

3. OTHER OPERATIONS

3.1 ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE
HEADREST
The height of the headrest can be adjusted to
better adapt the child car seat to the height
of the child. When it is correctly adjusted, it
ensures:
• That the head is always well positioned and
protected (Group 1/2/3).
• That the vehicle seat belts of the car seat are
always at the correct height, in other words at
the shoulders (Group 0+ and Group 1).
• That the car's diagonal belt is always at the
right height thanks to the guides built into
the headrest (Q) (Group 2/3).
To adjust the height of the headrest, use the
headrest adjustment lever (S), until the desired
height is reached (Fig. 62).

3.2 RECLINING THE SEAT

The recline lever (L) located under the seat
must be unlocked using the second safety
catch to bring the incline of the seat to the
desired position.
When the car seat is installed in the Group 0+
configuration (0-13 kg) it must be set to posi-
tion R.
In the Group 1 configuration (9-18 kg) the car
seat can be set to positions 1, 2 and 3.
In the Group 2/3 configuration (15-36 kg) the
car seat can only be used in positions 1 and 2.

3.3 SIDE SAFETY SYSTEM

The car seat is equipped with a Side Safety Sys-
tem (F) to guarantee greater protection in the
event of impact from the side.
Should the device interfere with vehicle com-
ponents it can be removed, by unhooking it
(Fig. 63).
