child; this will avoid danger during an acci-
dent or sudden braking of the car.
7. REFITTING THE HARNESS FOR
SEATING IN GROUP 1 (9-18 KG)
Follow the instructions illustrated in sec-
tions 5 and 6 in the opposite order.
8. ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE
HEADREST
The height of the headrest can be adjust-
ed to better adapt the child car seat to the
height of the child. When it is correctly ad-
justed, it ensures:
- That the child's head is always held in place
and well protected (Gr. 1-2-3).
- That the child car seat safety harnesses are
always at the right height, that is the shoul-
der height (Gr. 1)
- That the diagonal car seat belts are always
at the right height with the belt routings
incorporated in the headrest C (Gr. 2-3).
To adjust the height of the headrest, turn
the knob A fitted at the top of the backrest
until you reach the required height (Fig. 16).
9. RECLINING
The child car seat has just one reclinable
position.
To recline the child car seat, use the handle
and slightly lift the child car seat to change
to reclined position (Fig. 36).
We recommend reclining the seat before
seating the child.
WARNING: Make sure that the reclining
system locks in place by checking that the
handle K returns back to place.
WARNING: After making the adjustments, make
sure that the harnesses are well tensioned.
