Step 2 – Pull out the connection arms
Pull the connection arms all the way out, as explained
in "Extending the connection arms".
Step 3 – Secure the connection arms
[MAXI_025] Check that the connection arms are
open. This is identiÞ ed by the red markings on each of
the arms. If a green marking is visible, move the slider
on the arm towards the seat base, until the red
marking can be seen.
[MAXI_026] Position the open connection arms next
to the ISOFIX points on the vehicle (you may need to
use the feeder supplied with the seat to reach these
points [MAXI_027]).
[MAXI_028] Slide the connection arms into the
ISOFIX points, until each arm makes a clicking noise,
and the green markings are visible on the arms.
Step 4 – Push the seat base towards the vehicle seat back
[MAXI_023] Pull the central pull strap towards you
and hold it there.
[MAXI_029] At the same time, push the base of the
seat towards the vehicle's backrest, until the back of
the base sits ß ush against it. Release the pull strap.
CAUTION!
Always check that the connection arms are locked in
place, by pulling the base of the seat forward, without
pulling on the central strap.
Step 5 – Thread the shoulder belt through the guide
[MAXI_030] Thread the shoulder belt through the red
seatbelt guide, positioned between the headrest and
the side wing. Press the seatbelt against the grey clasp
into the seatbelt guide.
Step 6 – Thread the vehicle's seatbelt beneath the lap
belt guides
[MAXI_031] Thread the lap belt beneath the red lap
belt guides on the base of the seat. The bottom end of
the shoulder belt should also be fed beneath the lap
belt guide on the side of the buckle.
Step 7 – Fasten the vehicle seatbelt
Fasten the vehicle seatbelt to hold the MAXI in place,
by pressing the tongue into the buckle.
CAUTION!
[MAXI_009] Even if your child is not using it, always
secure the MAXI in place using the seatbelt. This
prevents the seat from ß ying forwards in an accident
or when braking sharply.
