Group 1
As the child grows, passing to weight group 1 (9-18 kg), refit the child’s
seat facing forwards following the installation instructions.
For proper mounting proceed as follows:
❒move the seat where you want to install the child’s seat completely
backwards;
❒check whether the release lever (B) is at rest position (inward);
❒find the presetting brackets (A), then position the child restraint
system with the fastening devices (C) aligned with the brackets;
❒push the child restraint system until hearing locking clicks;
❒check proper locking by moving the child’s seat with force: the built-in
safety mechanism actually inhibits improper coupling with only one
coupling locked.
With this configuration, the child is secured also by the car seat belts and
by the upper belts. To apply car seat belts to child’s seat refer to the
child’s seat handbook.
Adjust the front seat position moving it to half forward position.
