• Ensure that luggage and other objects are properly secured, in particular those on the back shelf, since
loose objects can cause injuries in the event of an impact. Set a good example and always use your
seat belt. An adult who does not use a seat belt can also put a child in danger.
• Always use the seat belt to strap in your child.
• Never leave your child unattended in the child car seat.
• Protect the child car seat from direct sunlight to prevent your child from being burnt or the cover being
bleached.
• Never use the child car seat without the cover. Never replace the seat cover with one that is not
recommended by the manufacturer, as this cover is an integral part of the safety system.
• All indicators on the front of the seat base must always be checked to confirm green status before
departing.
3. Before The First Use
• At delivery, the RECARO SALIA comes with a forward-facing seat shell. To use it for babies below the
age of 15 months and with a body height of less than 76 cm, the back of the shell must face towards
the direction of travel (Fig. 25).
• To change the configuration of the shell from forward-facing to rear-facing or vice versa, see Chapter 6
Front-facing/Rear-facing.
4. Installing The Child Car Seat
• Insert the insertion aids through the upholstery slit in the backrest and seat and attach to the ISOFIX
attachment brackets. Make sure that the open side is facing upwards (Fig. 4). This is not necessary
where insertion aids are already permanently installed in your car.
• Fold out the support leg before installing the child car seat in your vehicle (Fig. 5).
• IMPORTANT: The support leg must always be folded out before the seat is installed in the vehicle.
• To extend the ISOFIX connectors, operate the ISOFIX length adjustment lever (14) front, located above
the support leg, and pull out the ISOFIX connectors (5) all the way to the dead stop (Fig. 6).
• Next, position the RECARO SALIA on the ISOFIX attachment brackets, making sure you can audibly
hear the connectors lock into place (Fig. 7).
• IMPORTANT: When using the child car seat on the front passenger seat, the passenger seat must be
moved to its rearmost position before the child car seat is installed. Make sure that the child car seat is
not trapped by the dashboard or the vehicle door.
• IMPORTANT: Both ISOFIX indicators must turn green. Check proper locking of the child car seat by
pulling on it (Fig. 8).
• Pull the lever ISOFIX length adjustment (14) upwards and push the RECARO SALIA towards the
backrest until it is flush (Fig. 6).
• To adjust the height of the support leg, first push the support leg upwards all the way to the dead stop,
and then actuate the locking mechanism of the support leg (17) located on the front of the support leg
(Fig. 10).
• Now, pull out the support leg until it rests safely on the vehicle floor. Make sure that the support leg is
securely locked in after releasing the lock button.
• When the length has been set correctly, the support leg indicator turns green as soon as the support
leg is set down on the car floor. If this is not the case, extend the support leg a little further as
described above.
• IMPORTANT: The indicator must switch to green (Fig. 9).
• In order to increase safety in the event of an accident, activate the side impact protection of the child
car seat. To do so, lift the impact protector on the side of the child car seat facing the vehicle door.
Check proper locking of the impact protector by pushing on it (Fig. 11).
• NOTICE: Even without the side protectors, the seat provides sufficient protection against side impact.
If the vehicle has enough space available, we recommend activating the side impact protector
on the side pointing towards the vehicle door.
