• Open the buckle by pressing the red button.
• Place the child in the seat and adjust the height of the headrest, to fit the height of the straps to the height of the child's shoulders (fig.02).
• Fasten the buckle, by first bringing the two side parts together and then inserting them into the buckle (fig.03).
• Lastly, adjust the harness to fit the child, by pulling the harness adjustment strap (fig.04).

Adjusting the headrest

• The headrest of the MULTI FIX has 3 positions, pull the adjustment handle and move the headrest to the required position (fig.05).
• You can use the headrest to adjust the height of the harness, so that the harness is at the height of the child's shoulders.

Installing the MULTI FIX on the vehicle seat GROUP I (9 - 18 kg)

• Pull the ISOFIX connector adjustment, found under the upholstery of the seat, to take the ISOFIX connectors out as far as they will go. Make sure that the ISOFIX connector release buttons are unlocked (fig.06).

NOTE: The MULTI FIX includes a pair of guides, making it easier to fasten the ISOFIX connectors to the vehicle seat.

If your vehicle is fitted with these guides, you do not need to install the ones supplied with the MULTI FIX.

• Place the MULTI FIX on the vehicle seat, facing forwards.
• Fasten the ISOFIX connectors to the vehicle seat. They will click and a green signal will appear on each of them when they are correctly fastened (fig.07).

NOTE: Check that the safety seat is securely fastened to the vehicle seat, and that both connectors display the green signal.
