* 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
07 for your child in the safety seat:
The headrest 07 must be adjusted so that the shoulder belts
08 are at the same level as your child's shoulders.
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:

10

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 07 must be adjusted so that there is a space
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 on the back of the
12
12 17
headrest 07 .
This unlocks the headrest.
2. You can now move the unlocked headrest
07 to the
desired 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 17
the optimal height. If in the lowest position the headrest
07 is still too high, additional adjustment can be made
