5. PREPARATORY WORK
Please read the chapter with your desired installation method in chapter 6 first.
5.1 Prepare ISOFIX
1. If your vehicle is not equipped with the ISOFIX insert guides
as standard, clip the two insert guides 02 which are inclu-
02
01
ded with the seat* with the cut-out facing upwards onto
the two ISOFIX attachment points 01 of your vehicle.
TIP: The ISOFIX attachment points are located between the
surface and the backrest of the vehicle seat.
2. Move the head restraint on the vehicle seat to the upper
position.
3. Pull the grey fabric loop 03 to pull out both locking arms
03
15 until you hear a click sound which indicates they are
fully engaged.

the connector protection 06 .

* The insert guides make it easier to install the child safety seat with the aid of the ISOFIX
attachment points and prevent damage to the seat covering. When not in use, they should
be removed and stored in a safe place. On vehicles with a folding backrest the insert guides
must be removed before the backrest is folded.
Any problems which occur are usually caused by dirt or foreign objects on the insert guides
and on the hooks. Clean off any dirt or foreign objects to remedy this type of problem.
5.2 Adjusting the headrest in 5-point harness installation
A correctly adjusted headrest 07 ensures optimal protection
for your child in the safety seat:
07
The headrest 07 must be adjusted so that the shoulder belts
are at the same level as your child's shoulders.
08
CAUTION! The shoulder belts 08 must not run behind the
08
back of the child or at ear height or above the ears.
The shoulder belts are adjusted as follows:
1. Loosen the 5-point harness 38 of the child seat as much
as possible.
Back side of the child seat:
38 2. Press the button of the shoulder belt height adjuster at
10
the rear of the seat shell and tilt the shoulder belt height
adjuster towards you.
10
3. Slide the shoulder belt height adjuster 10 to select the
correct height of the shoulder belts 08 and engage it in the
10
positon that fits for your child by releasing the button.
5.3. Adjusting the headrest in Vehicle belt installation
A correctly adjusted headrest 07 ensures that the diagonal
07
seat belt section is optimally positioned, and gives your
11
child the optimal protection.
The headrest must be adjusted so that there is a space
07
two fingers wide between the headrest 07 and your child's
11
shoulders.
To adjust the height of the headrest to fit your child:
1. Squeeze the adjustment handle 12 on the back of the
12
headrest .
07
This unlocks the headrest.
2. You can now move the unlocked headrest to the desired
07
height. As soon as you release the adjustment handle 12
the headrest 07 will lock into place.
3. Place the child seat on the vehicle seat.
4. Have your child sit down in the child seat and check the
height. Repeat this process until the headrest 07 is at
the optimal height. If in the lowest position the headrest
07 is still too high, additional adjustment can be made
through the shoulder belt height adjuster 10 , as explanied
in section 5.2
