5. This car seat is fitted with an adjust-
able headrest that has been designed to
support your child throughout growth by
providing maximum side protection.
Raise
the adjustable headrest to its highest posi-
tion. Place the car seat against the back
seat of the vehicle and feed the diagonal
strap of the belt through the headrest
guide (5/a) (5/b). Sit your child in the
car seat, making 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 (5/c). Lower
the adjustable headrest and adjust it to
the height of the child (5/d). It should
be positioned so that it wraps the child’s
head, providing maximum lateral protec-
tion; the diagonal belt must pass over the
child’s shoulder so that it does not come
into contact with the child’s neck (5/e)
(5/f). 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 the
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.
WARNING: Always fix the child car seat
with the vehicle seat belt, even when
the child is not on board. An unsecured
car seat may cause injuries in case of
accident.

WARNING
•
Only install your group 1-2-3 car seat on
a forward facing seat that has a 3-point
seat belt.
•
The hard and plastic items of the child
restraint system must be positioned and
installed so that when used normally, they
do not get trapped under a movable seat
or in the vehicle door.
•
Make sure the straps to attach the restraint
system to the vehicle are kept tight and
adjust the straps that hold in the child.
The straps must not be twisted.
•
Make sure the sub-abdominal straps are
run as low as possible, to keep the pelvis
in good position.
•
Replace the restraint system if it has been
subjected to violent shocks in an accident.
•
It is dangerous to change or add elements
to the restraint system in any way with-
out the authorisation of the competent
authority, or not to carefully follow the
instructions on installation provided by the
manufacturer of the child restraint system.
•
Keep the seat out of direct sunlight so
that the child does not get burned.
•
Do not leave the child unattended in a
child restraint system.
•
Make sure that luggage and other items
that may harm the child in the seat in
the event of a shock are correctly stowed
away.
•
Do not use the child restraint system
without the cover.
•
Do not replace the seat cover with one
that has not been recommended by the
manufacturer, since it has a direct impact
on the operation of the restraint system.
•
If you have a doubt concerning the instal-
lation and correct use of
your seat, please contact the manufacturer
of the child restraint system.
•
Install your child restraint system on
seats classified as “Universal” in your car
instructions manual.
•
Do not use weight-bearing contact points
other than those described in the in-
structions and indicated on the restraint
system.
•
Always use the back seat if possible even
if the Highway Code authorises use in
the front seat.
•
Always ensure that the seat belt has been
fastened.
•
Always check that there are no bits of
food or other debris in the buckle of the
harness or in the main adjuster.
•
Do not dress the child with garments that
are too bulky in winter.
•
Do not use the child restraint system on
side facing or rear facing vehicle seats.
•
This car seat is a “Universal” child re-
straint system. It has been approved in
accordance with
regulation N°44/04, and is suitable for
general use in vehicles and is compatible
with the majority (some exceptions) of
vehicle seats.
•
It is more likely that the seat is perfectly
compatible if the vehicle manufacturer
states that its vehicles are suitable for
taking “Universal” child restraint systems.
•
This restraint system is classified as “Uni-
versal” in accordance with the strictest
approval criteria, whereas earlier models
do not correspond to these new provisions.
•
It can only be adapted to vehicles with
3-point safety belts that are either fixed
or have a roller mechanism and that have
been approved compliant with the UN/
ECE N° 16 or other equivalent standards.
•
If in doubt, contact the manufacturer or
retailer of the restraint system.
