Installing the child seat into the vehicle
1.
Place the child seat onto the vehicle seat with the front brace positioned
against the backrest of the vehicle seat. (4)
2.
Remove the yellow cap from the floor support. The alarm sound will stop
when the seat is installed correctly with the floor support in contact with
the floor of the vehicle.
3.
Extend the floor support with the floor support handle, so that it is in
contact with the vehicle floor while the child seat sits flush on the vehicle
seat. This prevents the child seat from tipping backwards. (5)
4.
Pull the vehicle belt out long and combine shoulder belt and lap belt with
one hand. With the other hand, guide the belt tongue through the first belt
guider, through the tensioner-lock-off, through the second belt guider and
click it into the buckle. Make sure both belts sit underneath the ledge on
the base and fully inside the tensioner-lock-off. (6, 7)
5.
To remove slack in the belt, first pull on ONLY the shoulder belt near the
buckle. Then, pull on the shoulder belt on the door side while making sure
the child seat does not move. (8)
6.
When all slack is removed, rotate the tensioner knob clockwise at the
backside of the seat. When doing so, the tensioner-lock-off at the front
side will close. Continue rotating the knob to tension the belt. You can
rotate until the knob will click and doesn't tension any further. (9)
7.
Note: check that the vehicle belt buckle is not in conflict with the belt
guider. Should this be the case, you need to install the seat with a larger
front brace position.
8.
Check that the floor support is still in contact with the vehicle floor and
adjust if needed.
9.
The height indicator of the floor support shows green when the floor
support is in contact with the floor.
10.
The alarm sound stops when the floor support height indicators show
green and it is in contact with the floor.
11.
Push down the lower tether release button and pull out the lower tethers.
Connect the hook to the lower tether anchorages of the vehicle. Repeat
the same procedure on the other side. (10)
12.
Ensure that both lower tethers are connected and tight. By wiggling the
seat from side to side, they will become more tight.
13.
Make sure that you can still see the yellow line on each lower tether strap.
If you cannot see it, there is not enough tension on the tethers. (11, 12)
14.
If you have installed the child seat on the back seat: Move the front
vehicle seat backwards, so that it is in light contact with the child seat. If
this is not possible, then move the front seat forward to create as much
distance as possible between the child seat and front seat, preferably at
least 25 cm.
15.
Check if the installation is tight and stable: the vehicle belt should be
very tight without slack and locked by the tensioner-lock-off. Both lower
tethers should be connected and tight and have the yellow line visible,
and the floor support should be in contact with the vehicle floor. Repeat
the same installation if necessary.
16.
The seat is delivered with removable SIP+ (side impact protection +).
This extra side impact protection should be used on the doorside of the
vehicle. To connect your SIP+ version, follow the instruction drawings
on the SIP+ included with your seat. The seat already offers high level
integrated side impact protection. This extra side impact protection
improves the protection in the side impact still further. (13)
17.
Do not use the SIP+ on the seat when the space between seat and door of
the vehicle is too small, which might lead to a situation where the seat is
not positioned correctly on the vehicle seat.
18.
In case the SIP+ sits at the height of the door window and your car is
equipped with side curtain airbags, then do not use the SIP+ if there is
less than 10cm distance between the SIP+ and the window.
Removing the child seat from the vehicle
1.
To remove the seat from the vehicle, first release the lower tethers with
the release button and hook off the lower tether hooks.
2.
Release some of the tension of the tensioner by turning the tensioner
knob counter-clockwise. Then you can push the knob towards the seat to
open the lock-off. If pushing is difficult, turning the knob further counter-
clockwise releases the tension and opens the lock-off at its end position.
Make sure that the tensioner is totally back to its starting position with an
open lock-off at the front. (14)
3.
Release the vehicle belt from the buckle and guide the belt back through
the belt guiders.
4.
Bring the floor support into its shortest position while pressing the floor
support adjuster button.
5.
Take the seat out of the vehicle.
6.
If you want to store the seat, you can bring the floor support into transport
position by pulling it downwards and pushing it against the seat.
