harness following the instructions below:
1. Release the child car seat harnesses from the buckle
(diag. 14)

of the harness through the two red diagonal belt rou-
ting slots C (diag. 23).

future use.

through the slot in the centre of the seat, so that it
all fits inside the housing on the child seat (diag. 24A,
24B and 24C).
The child car seat is now ready to be installed for Group
2 and 3 children.
8. Place the child car seat onto the chosen forward fa-
cing car seat (diag. 25)
9. Thread the diagonal car safety belt down behind the

is sitting with his back correctly placed against the
backrest of the child car seat (diag. 26)

the abdominal and the diagonal straps pass under the

WARNING!
• Always check that the seat belt is positioned correctly
and no parts are twisted.
• Check that the diagonal safety belt fits correctly
across the child's shoulder and does not press on he
childs neck; adjust the headrest accordingly.
• Check that the car safety belt retractor is behind the
backrest of the car seat (or at least aligned to it).
To remove a child from a Group 2 and 3 child car seat:
1. Release the car safety belt from its buckle.
2. Remove the car safety belt from the child's body.
3. Carefully remove the child from the car seat.
WARNING! If you do not intend to remove the child car
seat from the vehicle, slot the car safety belts back into
the buckle, so that the child car seat remains fastened sa-
fely inside the vehicle even when not used; this will avoid
danger during an accident or sudden braking of the car.

ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE HEAD REST

The height of the headrest can be adjusted to a range of
positions to adapt the child car seat to the height of the
child. When it is correctly adjusted, it ensures:
• That the child's head is always held in place and well
protected (Gr. 1-2-3).
• That the child car seat restraint harnesses are always
at the right height, that is the shoulder straps (Gr. 1).
• That the diagonal car safety belts are always at the
right height as the straps are slotted through the he-
adrest C (Gr. 2-3).
To adjust the height of the headrest, turn the knob A fit-
ted at the top of the backrest until you reach the required
height (diag. 16).

out from under the seat (diag. 31).
