To reduce the risk of serious or even fatal
injury to the child in the event of a sudden
change in direction, braking or an accident:
R The shoulder belt section of the seat belt
must be routed across the middle of the
child's shoulder – never across the
child's neck – and be pulled tight against
the child's chest. The lap section of the
seat belt must be routed across the
child's pelvis – not across the abdomen
– and be pulled tight against the child's
body; retighten the belt strap if neces-
sary.
R Never secure more than one child at a
time in the child restraint system.
R The belt must be routed through the
hook.

twisted, nor rub against any sharp edges. Also observe the assembly instructions for
the padded table and the additional warn-
ings and information about risk of injury.
X Pull the belt smoothly from the belt reel.
X Guide the lower lap section of the belt
through hook 2.
X Engage the belt tongue in the buckle.
X If the integrated child seat is being used
without the padded table, make sure that
the belt:
R is routed as low as possible across the pel-
vic area, in front of the hips
R is tightened across the lap by pulling
upwards on the child's shoulder belt
R is tight and is routed across the middle of
the child's shoulder
R is not twisted and does not pass across the
