SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING THE IN­STALLATION. IF THE SEAT IS NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY, YOUR CHILD’S SAFETY
MAY BE AT RISK. DO NOT USE THIS CHILD SEAT ON A PASSENGER SEAT FIT-

TED WITH AN AIR BAG!

The seat may be installed in a front-facing or rear-facing position with a 3-point
safety belt to UN/ECE No.16 standard or equivalent. Do not use it on side-facing
or rear-facing seats. Always remember to fasten and correctly adjust the child’s
harness and never start the car without first checking that the seat is properly
fixed to the passenger seat as shown in these instructions. It is important to
check that the straps of the seat belt are fully tightened and that the harness lap
strap is positioned as low as possible to support your child’s pelvis. Check that
the seat belt and harness straps are not twisted. For maximum protection, there
must be no slack between the car seat and the passenger seat. Please refer to the
method recommended in these instructions. The seat must not be modified in
any way and no elements should be added. It is recommended that you replace
this car seat if it has been subjected to a severe impact following an accident or
in case of wear. You should regularly check that the harness is not showing signs
of wear; check in particular the harness points, the seams and the adjustment
devices. Never leave your child unattended in the seat. Check that no part of
the seat is trapped in the door or in a fold-down passenger seat. If your car has
a fold-down rear seat, check that it is correctly locked in the vertical position.
Direct exposure to the sun increases the temperature inside vehicles. For this
reason, you are advised to cover the child’s car seat when not in use in order to
prevent the elements, in particular the fixations, from getting hot and burning
the child. Do not use your car seat without its cover and only replace it with a
cover that has been recommended by the manufacturer. In an emergency, the
child must be able to be freed quickly. The buckle, which can be easily opened,
must therefore not be covered. Teach your child not to play with the buckle. Al­ways remember to check that there are no scraps of food or other remains in
either the harness buckle or the central adjuster. Luggage and other heavy or
sharp objects must be fixed down in the car. Objects that are not attached may
injure a child in the event of an accident. In winter, make sure that the child is not
wearing over-bulky clothes.

The correct type of safety belt to use with your car
seat

Your car seat must ONLY be installed on a passenger seat fitted with a 3-point
safety belt (1). NEVER install your car seat on a passenger seat fitted with a
2-point safety belt (2)!

Adjusting the harnesses

Make sure that the harness of your car seat is adapted to the height of
your child before starting to install the seat in your car. The harnesses can

be adjusted to 4 different heights and must be positioned as close as possible to
your child’s shoulders (4).

• The two lower positions are ONLY intended for use in group 0, for a child weigh-

ing from 0 to 10 kg in a rear-facing position. If your child’s shoulders are between
two levels in a rear-facing configuration, choose the lower of the two.

• The two upper positions are ONLY intended for use in group 1, for a child

weighing from 9 to 18 kg in a front-facing position. If your child’s shoulders are
between two levels in front-facing configuration, choose the higher of the two.

To adjust the height of the harnesses, remove the upper section of one of the har­ness straps by pivoting the metal anchor located behind the back rest and then
pulling it through the slots of the shell and cover (5). Repeat the operation on the
upper section of the second strap.
Feed the ends of the harness straps through the slots at identical level in both the
cover and the shell, according to the chosen configuration:

• For a rear-facing configuration (Gr. 0, from 0 to 10 kg), the harnesses are fed

through one of the two lower positions (6) and then up to the third position to
be secured inside the shell (7) (8). Make sure that the metal anchor is correctly
positioned and that the ends of the harness straps are not twisted.
IMPORTANT: Whichever of the two lower positions you have chosen, make sure
that the metal anchors of the harnesses are well secured through the slots of the
third position of the shell.

• For a front-facing position (Gr. 1, from 9 to 18 kg), the harnesses are fed

through one of the two upper positions (9) and are secured directly behind the
position chosen, at the back of the shell (10) (11). Make sure that the metal
anchor is correctly positioned and that the ends of the harness straps are not
twisted.

Installing the car seat in a rear-facing position (Gr. 0,
from 0 to 10 kg)

DANGER! DO NOT USE THIS CHILD’S CAR SEAT ON A PASSENGER SEAT FIT­TED WITH AN AIR BAG!

Fasten the vehicle seat belt (12). Place the car seat in a rear-facing position on
either the front seat or the rear seats of your vehicle (13). Feed the waist strap of
the seat belt through the guides located under the base of the car seat (14). Pull
and feed the diagonal part of the seat belt through the guides located behind the
back rest of the car seat. The diagonal strap passes through the upper guide on
the side nearest the belt winder and through the lower guide on the side nearest
the seat belt buckle (15). Place the car seat so that only the back of its base is in

contact with the seat of the vehicle (16). Make sure the belt is not twisted and
pull it as tightly as possible (17).
IMPORTANT: once the car seat has been installed, the vehicle seat buckle must
not be touching the waist strap guide located under the base of the car seat. If
it does, choose another place in the vehicle. If in doubt, please contact our cus­tomer service department.
Place your child in the car seat, following the instructions in the section entitled

‘Installing your child in the car seat with a harness’.

Installing the car seat in a front-facing position (Gr. 1,
from 9 to 18 kg)

Place the car seat in a front-facing position on the rear seat of the vehicle. Pull on
the vehicle seat belt until it is completely loose. Feed the two straps of the belt
through the opening in the shell (18), bringing them out through the opposite
opening. The belt should pass between the shell and the car seat cover. Fasten
the seatbelt (19). Place the car seat so that only the front of its base is in contact
with the seat of the vehicle (20). On the side nearest the belt winder, pull up the
diagonal belt through the slot located on the side of the shell (21). Make sure the
belt is not twisted and pull it as tightly as possible (22).
IMPORTANT: once the car seat has been installed, the vehicle seat buckle must
not touch the opening through which the belt passes on the side of the car seat.
If it does, choose another place in the vehicle. If in doubt, please contact our
customer service department.

Loosen the harnesses by pressing on the adjuster buttons positioned on the up­per section of the harnesses, grasp the lower section and pull simultaneously

(23). Press on the red button in the centre to open the harness buckle (24). Open

out the harnesses (25) and place your child in the car seat. Put the harness con­nectors together and insert them into the buckle, making sure you hear a ‘click’

(26). Pull on the adjusting strap of one of the harnesses until it is properly tight-

ened against your child (27). Repeat the operation with the adjusting strap of
the second harness.

IMPORTANT: A correctly adjusted harness is essential for your child’s protec­tion. There should not be more than finger’s width between the harness and your
child.

Removing the harness

Put the harness buckle ends together and close the buckle in order to assemble
the various parts of the harness and the crotch strap. This will enable you to
store the harness more easily for future use. Remove one of the upper sections
of the harness by pivoting the metal anchor located behind the back of the shell
and then pulling it through the slots of the back rest and cover (28). Repeat the
operation with the second upper strap section.
Remove one of the lower sections of the harness by pivoting the metal anchor
located under the base of the car seat and then pulling it through the slots of the
base and the cover (29). Repeat the operation with the second lower section. Re­move the crotch strap by pivoting the metal anchor and then feeding it through

the slots of the base and the cover (30).

Simply reverse this procedure when you wish to put back your car seat
harness.

Installing the car seat in a front-facing position (Gr. 2,
from 15 to 25 kg)

Make sure that you have removed the harness of the car seat before start­ing the installation. Follow the instructions in the section entitled ‘Removing
the harness’.

Place the car seat in a front-facing position on the rear passenger seat of your
vehicle and sit your child in the car seat. Pull on the seat belt until it is completely
loose. Thread the seat belt through the openings on the side of the shell and
cover of the car seat (31). Pull on the belt and threaded through the openings
on the opposite side of the shell and cover (32). Fasten the seatbelt (33). On the
side nearest the belt winder, pull up the diagonal belt through the slot located on
the side of the shell (34). Place the car seat so that only the front of its base is in
contact with the seat of the vehicle (35). Make sure the belt is not twisted and
pull it as tightly as possible (36). Check that the diagonal lies across your child’s
shoulder, clear of their neck.
IMPORTANT: once the car seat has been installed, the vehicle seat buckle must
not touch the opening through which the belt passes on the side of the car seat.
If it does, choose another place in the vehicle. If in doubt, please contact our
customer service department.

WARNING

• This car seat is a ‘Universal’ child restraint system. It has been approved in ac-

cordance with regulation No.44/04 and is suitable for general use in vehicles and
is compatible with the majority (some exceptions) vehicle seats.

• It is more likely that the seat is perfectly compatible if the vehicle manufacturer

states that its vehicles are suitable for ‘Universal’ child restraint systems.

• This restraint system is classified as ‘Universal’ 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 to UN/ECE No.16 or
other equivalent standards.

• If in doubt, please contact the manufacturer or retailer of the restraint sys-

tem.
