that the waist strap of the belt passes under the arm rest and that the diagonal strap
passes above the arm rest of the car seat. Fasten the vehicle seat belt, making sure
that it is not twisted (12). Push the car seat firmly against the back seat of the vehicle
and tighten the belt as much as possible by pulling the waist strap and the diagonal
strap towards the winder (13). Open the harness buckle by pressing on the red button
in the centre of the buckle. Place your child in the car seat. The folding armrests make it
easier to install and access the car seat. Put the harness buckle ends together and close
the buckle, making sure you hear a 'click' (14). Pull on the adjusting strap of one of the
upper harness sections until it is properly tightened against your child (15). Repeat the
operation with the adjusting strap of the second upper harness section.
CAUTION: Before each journey, check that the armrests are lowered. A correctly ad-
justed harness is essential for your child's protection. There should not be more than a
finger's width between the harness and your child.
Group 2-3, from 15 to 36 kg
(from approximately 3 to 12 years)
Ensure that the harness of your car seat has been dismantled before starting to install
it in the vehicle (depending on the model).
•
Dismantling the harness: Press on the red harness button to undo the harness if
necessary. Repeat operations
(3)
and
(4)
on each upper section of the harness. Grasp a
section of the harness and thread it through the side openings of the cover and the shell
to the back (16), attach the metal anchor of the harness to the back of the seat (17).
The metal anchor must be positioned between the shell and the car seat cover. Repeat
the operation on the second section of the harness. Check that the harness connectors
have also passed behind the back rest. Remove the crotch strap by twisting the metal
keeper and by passing it through the slots in the base and the cover (18).
Your car seat is fitted with an adjustable headrest that has been designed to support
your child throughout growth by providing maximum side protection.
Raise the adjustable headrest to its highest position. Place the car seat against the back
seat of the vehicle
(19)
and feed the diagonal strap of the belt through the headrest
guide
(20)
(21). Sit your child in the car seat. The folding armrests make it easier to in-
stall and access the car seat. Make sure that the child's back is fully in contact with the
back of the car seat. Pull and fasten the vehicle seat belt. Pass the diagonal strap of the
belt under the arm rest opposite the belt guide used. The waist strap of the belt passes
under both armrests (22). Lower the adjustable headrest and adjust it to the height of
your child (23). It should be positioned so that it surrounds your child's head, providing
maximum lateral protection, whilst guiding the diagonal belt over the child's shoulder
so that it doesn't extend onto the child's neck
(24)
(25). Tighten the vehicle seat belt.
Make sure that the seat belt is properly tightened, that it is not twisted and that it is not
positioned at the level of your child's neck.
To remove your child from the car seat, simply unbuckle the seat belt and place it at the
side of the car seat. The belt will remain suspended from the headrest belt guide (26).
CAUTION: Before each journey, check that the armrests are lowered. Secure your car
seat with the vehicle seat belt at all times, even when your child is not in the car seat.
