INSTALLATION IN THE VEHICLE
4.9 USING THE NEWBORN REDUCER
The seat reducer is designed for use with newborns, to ensure greater comfort and
stability and provide a more reclined position, preventing their head from falling
forwards.
The complete reducer must be used until the child reaches 75 cm (fig. 42a).
5.1 PLACING THE CAR SEAT IN THE REAR-FACING POSITION
(Children between 40 and 105 cm in height, ISOFIX + Top Tether + harness)
WARNING! The child car seat must be installed in the rear facing position until the
child is older than 15 months. The rear-facing position remains the safest, even after
exceeding this limit, and it is therefore advisable to use the car seat facing backwards
for as long as possible.
DO NOT install the car seat on the passenger seat with an active airbag: this
can cause SERIOUS, OR EVEN FATAL, INJURY.
Make sure the seat is fully reclined before rotating to rear facing position.
Rotate the car seat until it is in the rear-facing position, then tilt the seat into the most
horizontal position. Place the car seat so that it is in the rear-facing position.
Use the reducer until the child reaches 75 cm.
Attach the ISOFIX connectors (cfr. par. 4.6) (fig. 46).
Check that the ISOFIX attachment indicators are green on both sides.
Push the car seat against the passengerseat, making sure that both ISOFIX connectors
are extended in the same position. Shake the car seat to be sure it is correctly fixed in
place and check again that the ISOFIX safety buttons are green.
Grasp the Top Tether belt and, if necessary, lengthen the strap by pressing the
appropriate locking button, extending it to the desired length (cfr. par. 4.7).
Insert the Top Tether strap into one of the guide slots "A" at the shoulders (fig. 47).
Attach the Top Tether to the appropriate anchoring point on the vehicle indicated by
the symbol:
Tighten the Top Tether belt until the indicator turns green. The Top Tether belt must
pass over the backrest of the vehicle passenger seat, it must never pass over the
headrest. If necessary, lift up or remove the headrest from the passenger seat.
☞ NOTE: before use, check that the ISOFIX connectors are correctly attached on both
sides, when pulling the car seat, they must not detach.
CAUTION: Before every journey, make sure that the rotating part of child seat is fully
engaged by trying to turn the seat around in both directions.
