Make sure it is fully tight, with a torque of at least 5 Nm. (5)

Repeat on the other side.
8.
Check that the brackets do not interfere / get moved or damaged by
the vehicle seat. Regularly check that the bracket still sits tight and as
positioned, or re-tighten the bolt if needed.
9.
If your vehicle does not have built-in lower tether anchorage points and
the lower tether brackets cannot be fitted either, you could use the anchor
straps accessory as an alternative. Please check the anchor strap's user
manual for how to use them.
Preparing the vehicle for installation on the
passenger seat
1.
Adjust the backrest of the front seat into an upright position.
2.
ALWAYS deactivate the front airbag. If this is not possible in your vehicle,
you cannot install this seat on the front seat.
3.
Move the front seat and/or adjust the front brace position, so that the
back of the child seat will be in contact with the dashboard. If having
contact is not possible, then you should move the front seat as far back
as possible, so that you have a preferable minimum distance of 25 cm
between child seat and dashboard. (6)
4.
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. (7)
5.
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.
6.
Locate the large-enough opening in the rails of the front seat that is
furthest to the front (nearest to the dashboard), accessible from beneath
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. (8)
7.
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.
Make sure it is fully tight, with a torque of at least 5 Nm. (8)
