vehicle’s instruction manual). Secure the removed headrest
in a suitable place in the vehicle so that it will not be tossed
around.
3. Follow the steps in Section 7 “SECURING YOUR CHILD”.
A properly adjusted headrest
07
ensures optimal protection for
your child on the child seat. Regularly check that the height of
the headrest
07
is suitable for the body height of your child:
The headrest
07
must be adjusted so that the shoulder straps
08
are at the same level as your child’s shoulders, or slightly
higher.
A correctly adjusted headrest
07 ensures that the diagonal
belt
11
is optimally positioned and gives your child optimum
protection. Regularly check that the height of the headrest
07
is
suitable for the body height of your child:
The headrest
07
must be positioned so that two fingers can be
inserted between the headrest
07
and your child's shoulders.
To adjust the height of the headrest to fit your child:
1. Press and hold the adjustment handle
10
on the back ofthe
headrest
07
.
2. The headrest
07
is now unlocked and can be moved to the
desired height. When you release the adjustment handle
10
,
the headrest
07
locks into place.
3. Place the child seat on the car seat.
4. Sit your child on the child seat and check the height.
Repeat this procedure until the headrest
07
is at thecorrect
height.

as standard, clamp the two insertion aids
02
(which
are supplied along with the seat*), with recess facing
upwards, into the two ISOFIX fixing points

theseat surface and the backrest of the car seat.

3. Pull the grey handle
03
at the back of the child seat until
the ISOFIX locking arms
04
are fully extended.
4. On both sides of the ISOFIX locking arms, squeeze the
04
green locking button 05 and the red release button
06
together. This ensures that both hooks on the ISOFIX
locking arms
04
are open and ready to use.
* The insertion aids make it easier to install the child seat using the ISOFIX fixing points and they
prevent damage to the car seat covers. If they are not being used, remove them and keep them
in a safe place. For vehicles with a folding backrest, the insertion aids need to be removed before
folding the backrest.
Any problems that occur are usually caused by dirt or external objects on the insertion aids and
onthe hook. Remove the dirt or external objects to resolve such problems.
