the belt tips from the metal anchor located behind the backrest ( E-1 ). Remove the ‘reversed-letter-T-shaped’ anchor
attached to the backrest ( E-2 ) by unfastening the screw holding it in place and slide the tips of the shoulder pads
from the anchor. Pull the belts and the pads out of the belt slots ( E-3 ).
To remove the lap belts and the crotch belt with the buckle, find the metal plates under the seat. Pull the plate, rotate it

The Diablo XL car seat has the option of setting the seat tilt in one of 3 different positions (1-most upright, 3-most
reclining).
To adjust the seat tilt, pull the adjustment lever located under the seat and move the seat forwards of backwards. After
setting the desired position, release the lever to lock it (
D-1 ).
First loosen the 5-point belts by pressing and holding the button in the front of the seat, and pulling both shoulder
belts (do not pull the belt pads) (
B-1 ). Unfasten the belts by pressing the red button on the belt buckle and removing
the belt tongue ( B-2 ). Pull the shoulder belts aside and the crotch belt forwards ( B-3 ).
Place the child in the seat and put the shoulder belts on. Make sure the shoulder pads are correctly aligned. Fasten
the belts by linking both belt tongue parts and putting them into the buckle until you hear the ‘click’ (
B-4 ). Nighten
the belts by pulling the tightening strap in the front of the seat ( B-5 ). The space between the baby’s body and the
shoulder pads should be no larger than the thickness of 2 fingers of an adult. Make sure the belts are not twisted.
If you’re not able to fasten the belts, press the red button on the belt buckle and try again.
Adjust the headrest and shoulderbelts height to the child’s height. The Diablo XL car seat is equipped with a system
that allows to adjust the headrest and shoulderbelts height simultaneously. The tips of the belts should be located
just above the child’s shoulders and the child’s head should lay in the middle of the headrest. Pull the lever at the
back of the headrest (
F-1 ) and set the headrest in the desired position. Release the lever and push on the headrest
to lock it in place.
6 SECURING THE CHILD IN THE SEAT WITH THE 5-POINT BELTS
Before the installation in group II and III, remove the 5-point seat belts and all reducer cushions (see point 9 ).
Put the seat forward facing on a passenger seat and push it firmly against the backrest. Place the child in the seat.
Adjust the height of the headrest according to the child’s height (see
10 ).
Pull the car belt in front of the seat. Insert the shoulder belt into the belt guide in the headrest, on the same side as
the car belt tensioner (
C-1 ). Place the lap belt on the lower belt guides between the seat and the backrest ( C-2 ).
Insert the belt tongue into the belt buckle.
Make sure the belts are aligned correctly and are not twisted.
Tighten the belts by pulling the shoulder belt in the direction of the car belt tensioner (
C-3 ).
The shoulder belt should go through the middle of the child’s shoulder. The proper alingment should be ensured by
the proper headrest height adjustment.
If the shoulder belt is not aligned correctly (
C-4 ), start the whole procedure again until it’s done right.
If the car belt buckle is not located below the lower belt guide ( C-5 ) and it’s impossible to set it lower, try to install the
car seat in a different passenger seat in the car.
