CHILD CAR SEAT FOR GROUPS 2/3
(3-12 YEARS, APPROXIMATELY)
IN-CAR INSTALLATION
GROUP 2-3, FROM 15 TO 36 KG (FROM
APPROXIMATELY 3 TO 12 YEARS)
1. This car seat is fitted with an adjust-
able headrest that has been designed
to support the child throughout growth
by providing maximum lateral protec-
tion.
Raise the adjustable headrest to
its highest position. Place the car seat
against the back seat of the vehicle (1/a)
and feed the diagonal strap of the belt
through the headrest guide (1/b) (1/c).
2.
Sit the child in the car seat. Make sure
that the child’s back is fully in contact
with the back of the child 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 must pass under
both armrests. Lower the adjustable
headrest and adjust it to the height of
the child (2/a). It should be positioned so
that it wraps the child’s head, providing
maximum lateral protection; the diagonal
belt must be over the child’s shoulder so
that it does not come into contact with
the child’s neck (2/b) (2/c). Tighten the
vehicle seat belt (2/d).
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.
3.
To remove the child from the car seat,
simply unbuckle the car seat belt on the
child car seat side. The belt will remain
suspended from the headrest belt guide.
WARNING: always secure your car seat
with the vehicle seat belt, even when the
child is not on board. An unsecured car
seat may cause injuries in the event of
a collision.

WARNING
•
Only install the group 2-3 booster 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 they do not get trapped
under a movable seat or in the vehicle
door when used normally.
•
Make sure all the straps needed to fix
the restraint system to the vehicle are
well tensioned and adjust the straps that
restrain 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-
13
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 the seat, please
contact the manufacturer of the child
restraint system.
•
Install your child restraint system on
seats categorised as “Universal” in the
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 allows the use in the
front seat.
•
Always ensure that the seat belt has been
fastened.
•
Do not dress the child in garments that
are too bulky in winter.
•
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
fitting “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 provi-
sions.
•
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.
