9. FITTING THE CHILD CAR SEAT AND
SEATING CHILDREN IN GROUP 2/3 US-
ING THE CAR’S THREE-POINT-BELT (15-
36 KG)
WARNING!
The text and figures of these in-
structions refer to the installation of the child
car seat on the right back seat. Follow the
same steps to install the car seat in other posi-
tions. The slots for the car seat belts are clearly
marked on the child car seat with red colour
guides.
1. Place the child car seat on the chosen for-
ward-facing car seat.
2. Pass the diagonal strap of the vehicle seat
belt behind the headrest and through the
specific red diagonal belt slot (C) under the
headrest (Fig. 44).
3. Carefully place your child in the seat, mak-
ing sure their back is well supported by the
backrest.
4. Fasten the car seat belt to its buckle ensur-
ing that both the waist and the diagonal
strap pass through the waist belt slots L.
Pass the waist portion of the belt in the belt
positioner (Fig. 45).
5. When adjusting the height of the headrest
check that the diagonal belt guide (C) is po-
sitioned above the shoulder at a maximum
distance of 2 cm (Fig. 46).
6. Pull the diagonal strap of the car seat belt
towards the retractor, ensuring that the belt
is tight and fits properly over your child’s
legs and chest (Fig. 47).
7. Check that the child car seat is fitted cor-
rectly.
WARNING!
• Always check that the seat belt is distributed
evenly and that it is not twisted.
• Check that the diagonal seat belt fits correct-
ly across your child’s shoulder and does not
press on their neck; if necessary, adjust the
headrest.
• Check that the car safety belt retractor is be-
hind the backrest of the car seat (Fig. 48).

car seat:
1. Release the car safety belt from its buckle.
2. Remove the car safety belt from the child’s
body.
3. Carefully remove the child from the car seat.
WARNING!
If you do not intend to remove
the child car seat, fasten the car seat belt in
its buckle so that it restrains the child car seat
even when not in use; this will avoid danger in
the event of an accident or the sudden brak-
ing of the car.
10. REFITTING THE HARNESS FOR A
GROUP 1 SEAT (9-18 KG)
Follow the instructions described in chapter 7
in reverse order.
11. ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE
HEADREST
It is possible to adjust the height of the head-
rest to the height of your child. Correct adjust-
ment of the headrest ensures that:
- the child’s head is always held in place and
well protected (Gr. 1/2/3).
- the child car seat safety harnesses are always
at the right height, i.e. shoulder height (Gr. 1)
- the diagonal car seat belts are always at the
right height with the belt slots incorporated
in the headrest C (Gr. 2-3).
Use the headrest and harness adjustment
button (A) on the top of the backrest to adjust
the child seat headrest (Fig. 28) to the desired
height.
12. RECLINING
WARNING!
The child car seat has 3 recline
positions in Gr. 1 (Fig. 49).
The child car seat must be reclined ONLY in
positions 1 and 2 in Gr. 2/3. Position 3 CANNOT
be used. (Fig. 50).
To recline the child car seat use the recline
handle (K) and set to the desired position de-
pending on the group. We recommend reclin-
ing the seat before seating your child.
WARNING:
After adjusting, make sure that
can be found in the positions indicated by the
figures 12A - 12B - 12C - 12D - 12E.
WARNING!
Check that the Top Tether fasten-
er used is the one that has been specially des-
ignated. Do not confuse it with a ring used for
hanging bags (Fig. 13).
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. 14).
7. Extend the Top Tether belt by pressing the
button. (Fig. 15)
8. Once you have identified the fastening
point, connect the Top Tether hook to it.
9. Adjust the length of the Top Tether belt by
forcefully pulling the belt until it is tight. The
indicator on the belt goes green (Z) when
the tether is suitably tight (Fig. 16).
10. Roll up any excess belt, tie it using the vel-
cro and put it back in the Top Tether system
storage compartment (V) (Fig. 17A - 17B).

11. Pass the diagonal strap of the vehicle seat
belt behind the headrest and through the

ing sure their back is well supported by the
backrest.

tioner (Fig. 45).

positioned above the shoulder at a maxi-
mum distance of 2 cm (Fig. 46).
