buttons (Fig. 8).
6. Position the child car seat on the car seat
where you intend to install it (Fig. 9).

waist belt (Fig. 11). At the end of the opera-
tion, check that the waist belt is always in the
relevant blue belt guides.
9. Always keeping the chest belt tensioned,
pass it through the blue guides on the back
of the backrest (Fig. 12). Pull the belt as tight-
ly as possible without leaving any slack and
making sure it is not twisted.
WARNING! After installing the child car seat,
always check that the vehicle safety belt is
tightened and that the buckle does not force
the belt to come out of the relevant slot. Also
check that the buckle of the car belt is not in
contact with the point of passage of the belt
on the child car seat. These situations may
compromise the effectiveness of the child car
seat in the event of an accident.

not mentioned in this instruction booklet, as it
would compromise the child's safety!
