Tightening the belts

- For tightening the belt, pull the tension belts [S.20] straight to the front away
from the child safety seat.
CAUTION!
The basic principle is as follows: The more snugly the safety belt fits
the child's body, the greater the degree of safety offered.
The shoulder belts of the child safety seat should not be twisted or
swapped over.
The lap belt on both sides must sit tightly and as low as possible over
the child's hips.

-correctly securing the child-
CAUTION!
Incorrect securing of the child's safety seat can endanger the health, or
put at risk, the lives, of all occupants of the vehicle. For this reason,
carry out the following checks for your child's safety and that of the
other occupants of the vehicle carefully.
To ensure your child's safety, check that
- the belts of the child safety seat have a snug fit,
- the shoulder belts are properly fitted (see 5.1),
- the belts are not twisted,
- the locking pieces have engaged in the buckle.
CAUTION!
Take breaks on long journeys, so that your child can be relieved of the
constraints on his/her movement.
Always ensure that the car seat backrests are properly secured (for
example, fold down rear seats) and that there are no heavy or sharp-
edged objects in the vehicle (e.g. on the parcel shelf).
Never leave your child unattended when sat in the child safety seat or
in the back of the car.
