strap. If you cannot see it, there is not enough tension on the tethers. (16)
15.
If you have installed the child seat on the back seat: Move the front
vehicle seat backwards, so that it is in light contact with the child seat. If
this is not possible, then move the front seat forward to create as much
distance as possible between the child seat and front seat, preferably at
least 25 cm. (17)
16.
Check if the installation is tight and stable: the vehicle belt should be
very tight without slack and locked by the tensioner-lock-off. Both lower
tethers should be connected and tight and have the yellow line visible,
and the floor support should be in contact with the vehicle floor. Repeat
the same installation if necessary.

The seat is delivered with removable SIP+ (side impact protection +).
This extra side impact protection should be used on the doorside of the
vehicle. To connect your SIP+ version, follow the instruction drawings
on the SIP+ included with your seat. The seat already offers high level
integrated side impact protection. This extra side impact protection
improves the protection in the side impact still further. (18)
18.
Do not use the SIP+ on the seat when the space between seat and door of
the vehicle is too small, which might lead to a situation where the seat is
not positioned correctly on the vehicle seat.
19.
In case the SIP+ sits at the height of the door window and your car is
equipped with side curtain airbags, then do not use the SIP+ if there is
less than 10cm distance between the SIP+ and the window.
Removing the child seat from the vehicle
1.
To remove the seat from the vehicle, first release the lower tethers with
the release button and hook off the lower tether hooks.
2.
Release some of the tension of the tensioner by turning the tensioner
knob counter-clockwise. Then you can push the knob towards the seat to
open the lock-off. If pushing is difficult, turning the knob further counter-
clockwise releases the tension and opens the lock-off at its end position.
Make sure that the tensioner is totally back to its starting position with an
open lock-off at the front. (19)
3.
Release the vehicle belt from the buckle and guide the belt back through
the belt guiders.
4.
Bring the floor support into its shortest position while pressing the floor
support adjuster button.
5.
Take the seat out of the vehicle.
6.
If you want to store the seat, you can bring the floor support into transport
position by pulling it downwards and pushing it against the seat.
