1.ISOFIX INSTALLATION

STEP 1: Press the adjustment handle located under the front of the car seat and, holding it down, pull or push the seat forwards or backwards. Release the handle when the seat is in the desired position and make sure that it is locked correctly; you will hear a "click" when the seat has attached.

STEP 2: As shown in the figure, pull the ISOFIX lever to extend the ISOFIX connectors.

STEP 3: As shown in the figure, to retract the ISOFIX connectors, pull the red handle outwards, at the same time using your other hand to push the connectors towards the base, in the direction of the arrow.

STEP 4: As shown in the figure, before ISOFIX installation, open the rear compartment and remove the Top Tether belt. Temporarily place the Top Tether tightness adjuster on the headrest.

INSTALLATION IN THE VEHICLE

If your car does not have standard ISOFIX connector guides, insert those supplied with the car seat with the recess facing upwards in the two ISOFIX anchoring points in the car.

SUGGESTION: The ISOFIX anchoring points are located between the seat and the backrest of the passenger seat.

STEP 5: Align the ISOFIX connectors with the anchoring points fixed to the vehicle passenger seat and press until you hear a "click".

The indicator on both brackets will turn green, confirming that they have attached.

Check that both brackets are attached correctly. Shake the car seat to be sure it is correctly fixed in place.

To release the ISOFIX connectors, press down the red lever: the indicator on both brackets will turn red, indicating that the connectors have been released from the anchoring points.

STEP 6: Push the car seat against the passenger seat, making sure that both ISOFIX connectors are extended in the same position.

STEP 1: Extend the belt with the "Top Tether" carabiner and hook it to the anchoring point indicated in the vehicle user manual. Check for this icon inside the passenger compartment.

STEP 2: Tighten the Top Tether belt until the indicator turns green (fig. 3). This indicates that the belt is tightened correctly. The Top Tether belt must pass over the backrest of the vehicle passenger seat, it must never pass over the headrest.
