Securing Your Child; Midi - TAKATA MIDI Instructions Manual

Removing the TAKATA MIDI from the TAKATA
ISOFIX BASE
Step 1 – Release the rear connection hooks
[MIDI_040] The rear hooks unlock together, so you
only need to push down one of the release elements on
the TAKATA ISOFIX BASE rear connection arms. At
the same time, tilt the TAKATA MIDI forwards (in the
direction of travel), so that the connection bolts of the
seat come out of the rear connection hooks of the base.
Step 2 – Free the seat from the front connection hooks
and remove
Free the connection rod of the TAKATA MIDI from
the front hooks of the base by sliding the TAKATA
MIDI backwards, against the direction of travel. You
should now be able to lift the seat from the base, and
remove it from your vehicle.
Removing the TAKATA ISOFIX BASE
Step 1 – Unlock the ISOFIX connectors
[MIDI_025] Separate the connectors on the TAKATA
ISOFIX BASE from the ISOFIX points in the vehicle,
by moving the release slider on each connector forwards
(in the direction of travel). The components have been
separated if a red marking can be seen on the top of
each connector.
Step 2 – Retract the ISOFIX connectors
Press the left-hand button on the ISOFIX length
adjuster as far in as possible. The button is positioned
on the inner side of the base. At the same time, push
the left-hand connector back into the TAKATA
ISOFIX BASE.
The two ISOFIX connectors must be adjusted indepen-
dently. Repeat step two for the right-hand connector.
NOTE!
The connectors have been fully retracted when all
numbers fi gure is displayed on the top of them.
Step 3 – Fold in the support leg and remove it
Fold the support leg in, as described in Section 3 –
Basic instructions (Adjusting the support leg). You
should now be able to remove the base from your
vehicle.

5. SECURING YOUR CHILD

NOTE!
For safety reasons, children should always get in and
out from the passenger side of the vehicle, or directly
onto a sidewalk.
Step 1 – Adjust and fasten the inner padding and
straps
[MIDI_018 + MIDI_019] Before sitting your child in
the TAKATA MIDI, loosen and open the straps, as
described in Section 3 – Basic instructions (Loosening
the straps and opening the buckle), and move them
out of the way.
[MIDI_006 + MIDI_007] Once your child is sat in the
seat, place the shoulder straps over the shoulders and
the lap belt over your childʼs lap, taking care not to
twist or tangle the straps.
CAUTION!
[MIDI_041] Check that the inner padding and
shoulder strap connection are correctly positioned.
The wings of the inner padding with the AIRPADS
protect the head, and should therefore be positioned
behind your childʼs head, and above the shoulders.
The shoulder strap connections are correctly
positioned for the:
P [MIDI_042] TAKATA MIDI in a backwards-
facing position
if they are a little below your childʼs shoulders.
If this is not the case, move the adjustable inner
padding up or down accordingly.
P [MIDI_043] TAKATA MIDI in a forwards-facing
position
if they are a little above your childʼs shoulders.
If this is not the case, move the adjustable inner
padding up or down accordingly.
Step 2 – Close the belt buckle
[MIDI_044 a + b] To secure the straps on the
TAKATA MIDI child car seat, bring the two magne-
tic belt tongues together again.
Push the tongues fi rmly into the buckle, until you hear
them click into place.
WARNING!
Before every journey, always ensure that the tongues
and buckle are locked together. You can check this by
pulling the tongues up, without pressing the red button
on the buckle.
