3. RESTRICTIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
REGARDING THE USE OF THE PRODUCT
AND VEHICLE SEAT
WARNING!
Strictly complies with the following
restrictions and requirements for use concern-
ing the product and car seat: safety will not be
guaranteed otherwise.
This child car seat can be installed so that it faces
opposite of the car driving direction.
Install the AroundU so that it faces opposite
the driving direction for children with heights
ranging between 40 cm and 105 cm. The child
car seat must always be installed rear facing up
to 15 months of age of the child.
IMPORTANT,
Do not use the child car seat
installed facing forward unless the child is 15
months or older.
Chicco recommends using AroundU in rear
facing position for the longest amount of time
possible.
WARNING! Deactivate the passenger airbag
when the child is in the front seat in rear facing
direction.
WARNING! Activate the passenger airbag
when the child is in the front seat in forward
facing direction and position the seat in the
most retracted position possible.
4. INSTALLING THE CHILD CAR SEAT
Activating the Top Tether buzzer.
To activate the Top Tether buzzer, remove the
battery cover located on the back of the mirror
(see figure 34) by removing the transparent
film protruding from the cover.
The child car seat is in the facing forward po-
sition when packed.
For easy installation, we recommend position-
ing the child car seat facing rearward.
Turn the child car seat rotation knob (P) while
turning the car seat toward you (Fig. 1). Now,
using the release lever (Q), position the car
seat in forward-facing position until you hear
the CLICK when it is fastened correctly (Fig. 2).
Starting from the storage position, release Top
Tether hook (U) from its coupling position (Fig.
3). As soon as it is released, the buzzer (N) is ac-
tivated until installation is completed correctly.
Pull out both Isofix connectors by pressing the
buttons (S) (Fig. 4).
Fasten both ISOFIX connectors (R) to the corre-
sponding ISOFIX hooks on the car seat between
the backrest and the seat (Fig. 5). You will hear
a “click” when the connectors fit into place and
the relevant indicators turn green.
Push the child car seat firmly against the back-
rest of the car seat (Fig. 6).
WARNING!
Pull the car seat towards you to
make sure that the seat has been installed
correctly on both sides. Check also that the
child car seat is resting perfectly against the
backrest of the car seat.
The child car seat is completely fitted ONLY
with the installation of the Top Tether.
WARNING!
Refer to your car’s user manual
to identify where the Top Tether of the child
car seat is attached to the car. This fastening
point is denoted with a specific label (Fig. 7)
and can be found in the
positions indicated by figures 8a – 8b – 8c – 8d.
WARNING! Check that the Top Tether fastener
used is the one that has been specially desig-
nated. Do not confuse it with a ring used for
hanging bags (Fig. 9).
WARNING!
Pass the Top Tether between the
top of the car seat backrest and the headrest.
Never pass the Top Tether above the car head-
rest (Fig. 10-11).
Once you have identified the fastening point,
connect to the Top Tether hook (U).
Adjust the length of the Top Tether belt by
forcefully pulling the belt until it is tight (Fig.
12). The indicator located above the mirror
goes green (N) and the buzzer stops when
the tether is suitably tight (Fig. 13).
Roll up any excess belt and tie up using the
velcro (Fig. 14).
5. USING THE CAR SEAT FACING REAR-
WARD (40 – 105 cm)
WARNING: The only allowed position when
the vehicle is travelling is either facing forward
or rearward (Fig. 15).
WARNING:
The child car seat must always
be installed rear facing up to 15 months of
age of the child.
Turn the child car seat rotation knob (P) while
turning the car seat toward you (Fig. 16).
Before sitting your child in the child Car seat,
press the harness adjustment button (D) and,
at the same time, hold the two child Car seat
harnesses under the shoulder straps, and pull
them in your direction to slacken them (Fig. 17).
Unfasten the buckle (G) of the child car seat har-
nesses by pressing the red button (Fig. 18), and pull
