Preparing the child seat for installation
1.
The front brace is delivered as a separate part and must be mounted to
the seat before using the seat in a vehicle. Once installed, the front brace
can only be taken off with the correct tools.
2.
To mount the front brace: Keep the front brace handle pushed in while
sliding both tubes into the openings in the seat base on both sides. Slide
them all the way in. (2)
3.
Decide with how much leg space you want to install the seat by adjusting
the position of the front brace. To do so, push the front brace handle in
and slide the front brace in or out and let it click into place. (2)
4.
Tip: It's easiest to adjust the front brace position already outside the
vehicle.
5.
Move the floor support away from the seat and upwards until it locks into
the usage position and does not dangle anymore. (10)
6.
For an easier installation once in the car, bring the seat into the most
upright position with the recline handle, and keep the floor support in the
shortest position.
Preparing the vehicle for installation on the back seat
1.
Bring the backrest of the back seat into upright position (if applicable to
your car).
2.
To give yourself space for the installation, move the front seat forward as
far as possible and put it into upright position if needed.
3.
If your vehicle is equipped with lower tether anchorage points, you don't
need further preparations and can start with installing the child seat.
Check your vehicle manual to ensure that the anchorages are allowed to
be used with lower tethers. (3, 4)
4.
If your vehicle is not equipped with built-in lower tether anchorage points,
you can use the lower tether brackets provided with the seat or available
as a service part to create an anchorage point. This should be done by
qualified persons.
5.
Locate the opening in the rails of the front seat that is furthest to the back
(nearest to the back seat), accessible from beneath, large enough and
symmetric on both rails. From the inside of the rail, slide the lower tether
bracket underneath the rail, so that the holes of the bracket and rail align.
You can choose to have the angled part of the bracket point upwards or
downwards. (5)
6.
Put the washer over the hole on top of the rail and put the bolt through
from above. For a hole with a diameter of 6 mm, you can use the M6
washer. For a hole with a diameter of 8 mm or more, you can use the
shoulder washer. Use a Hex key (Allen key) size 4 to tighten the screw.
