A correctly adjusted headrest
07
ensures optimal protection
for your child in the safety seat:
The headrest
07
must be adjusted so that the shoulder belts
08
are at the same level as your child’s shoulders.
CAUTION! The shoulder belts
08
must not run behind the
back of the child or at ear height or above the ears.
The shoulder belts are adjusted as follows:
1. Loosen the 5-point harness
38
of the child seat as much
as possible.
Back side of the child seat:
2. Press the button of the shoulder belt height adjuster
10
at
the rear of the seat shell and tilt the shoulder belt height
adjuster
10
towards you.
3. Slide the shoulder belt height adjuster
10
to select the
correct height of the shoulder belts
08
and engage it in the
positon that fits for your child by releasing the button.
A correctly adjusted headrest
07
ensures that the diagonal
seat belt section
11
is optimally positioned, and gives your
child the optimal protection.
The headrest
07
must be adjusted so that there is a space
two fingers wide between the headrest
07
and your child‘s
shoulders.
To adjust the height of the headrest to fit your child:
1. Squeeze the adjustment handle
12
on the back of the
headrest
07
.
This unlocks the headrest.
2. You can now move the unlocked headrest
07
to the
desired height. As soon as you release the adjustment
handle
12
the headrest
07
will lock into place.
3. Place the child seat on the vehicle seat.
4. Have your child sit down in the child seat and check the
height. Repeat this process until the headrest
07 is at
the optimal height. If in the lowest position the headrest
07
is still too high, additional adjustment can be made
through the shoulder belt height adjuster
10
, as explained
in section 5.2
5.3. Adjusting the headrest in vehicle belt installation
1. If your vehicle is not equipped with the ISOFIX insert guides
as standard, clip the two insert guides
02
which are included with the seat* with the cut-out facing upwards onto
the two ISOFIX attachment points
01
of your vehicle.
TIP: The ISOFIX attachment points are located between the
surface and the backrest of the vehicle seat.
2. Move the head restraint on the vehicle seat to the upper
position.
3. Pull the grey fabric loop
03

15
until you hear a click sound which indicates they are

4. On both sides of the seat squeeze the green safety button
04
and the red release button 05 together and remove
the connector protection
06
.
* The insert guides make it easier to install the child safety seat with the aid of the ISOFIX
attachment points and prevent damage to the seat covering. When not in use, they should
be removed and stored in a safe place. On vehicles with a folding backrest the insert guides
must be removed before the backrest is folded.
Any problems which occur are usually caused by dirt or foreign objects on the insert guides
and on the hooks. Clean o any dirt or foreign objects to remedy this type of problem.
