Securing The Child In (With Height Adjustment Of Belt) - RECARO Zero.1 Elite Instructions For Installation And Use Manual

Installation of the infant carrier into the Zero.1 Elite
· For the installation of the infant carrier it is recommended to first rotate the Zero.1 Elite seat
shell towards the door (see chapter 6).
· Important: The headrest of the seat must be positioned in the highest setting (see chapter
5.2) in order to be able to insert the infant carrier into the seat.
· Ensure before installing the infant carrier into the seat that the coloured indicators on the
infant carrier are red and that the infant carrier connecting elements (29) are opened and
without dirt.
· Now insert the infant carrier into the seat with handle in the upright position so that the infant
carrier connecting elements (29) slide into the infant carrier securement guides (27) (fig. 27).
· Now firmly push down the infant carrier into the child seat. Push until you hear it lock into
place. Ensure the correct locking of the infant carrier into the seat by pulling the infant carrier
handle.
· Important: The coloured indicators on the side of the infant carrier must switch from red to
green (fig. 28).
· Your child may already be placed and secured into the seat while doing this.
· Once the carrier is locked into place, rotate the child seat into the rearfacing position (fig. 29).
Removal of the infant carrier
· The infant carrier may be removed from the child seat whilst the child is secured in. It is easier
to remove the infant carrier if you rotate the seat toward the door (see chapter 6).
· In order to remove the infant carrier, first slide the infant carrier release buttons (23) upwards
and then push into the seat (fig. 30). The infant carrier is now unlocked and may be lifted out
of the child seat.
· Important: Always make sure the child is strapped in securely once placed into the infant
carrier. Never leave the child unattended in the infant carrier.
· NOTICE: Before your child can take a seat in the child seat without the infant carrier, you have
to reverse the steps of fig. 15 to 18:
· Remove the infant carrier securement guides (27), pull back the securing points (12) into the
seat in order that they do not stick out to the front any longer, and then fold back out the
fabric flaps upwards again in order to cover the securing points (12) (Abb. 31).

5.2 Securing the child in (with height adjustment of belt)

· The height of the shoulder belts and the headrest can be adjusted to your child. The shoul-
der belts should ideally pass over your child's shoulders at shoulder height or slightly higher
in a backward direction if the shell is used in forward-facing orientation.
· IMPORTANT: The lower edge of the headrest is ideally positioned about 2 finger breadths
above the shoulders of the child if the shell is used in forward-facing orientation (fig. 32).
· NOTICE: If the shell is used in rearward-facing orientation, the shoulder belts should be
placed at or slightly below the child's shoulders.
Height adjustment of the headrest:
· To release the locking mechanism, pull up the adjusting lever headrest (16) on the headrest
(fig. 33).
· Adjust the headrest into the required position and allow the locking mechanism to click into
place (fig. 34).
· Ensure that the locking mechanism is locked in place securely by pushing downwards on
the headrest.
· It may be necessary to loosen the harness prior to this step.
· To loosen the harness operate the seatbelt adjustment switch (19) and pull the shoulder
straps forward as pictured (fig. 35).
· Undo the buckle (8) by pressing the red button and pull out the tips in an upward direction
