This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in your
vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two
latches which are secured on the two rings A.
Some seats also have an upper strap , which is
attached to ring B .
To secure the child seat to the Top Tether:
-

r
emove and stow the head restraint before
installing the child seat on the seat (refit it
once the child seat has been removed),
-

p
ass the strap of the child seat behind
the top of the backrest, centring the holes
between the head restraint rods,
-

f
ix the hook of the upper strap to ring B ,
-

t
ighten the upper strap.
When installing an ISOFIX child seat on the
right-hand rear seat, before securing the seat,
first move the centre rear seat belt towards the
middle of the vehicle, so as to not inter fere with
the operation of the seat belt.
For information on installing ISOFIX child seats
in your vehicle, refer to the summary table.Recommended ISOFIX child
seats
Also consult the installation notes of the
child seat's manufacturer to find out how
to install and remove the seat. "
RÖMER Duo Plus ISOFIX "
(size category: B1 )
Group 1: from 9 to 18 kg
Is installed only in the forward facing position. Is attached to the rings A and the
ring B , referred to as the TOP TETHER,
using an upper strap.
Three seat body angles: sitting, reclining, lying down.
This child seat can also be used on seats not equipped with ISOFIX mountings. In
this case, it must be secured to the vehicle's seat by the three-point seat belt. Adjust the
position of the vehicle's front seat so that the child's feet are not touching the backrest.

Advice
The incorrect installation of a child seat in
a vehicle compromises the child's protection
in the event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat, as this could
destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a
minimum,
even for short journeys.
When installing a


child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it secures
the child seat firmly on the seat of your
vehicle. If your passenger seat is adjustable,
move it for wards if necessary.
At rear seating positions, always leave
sufficient space between the front seat and:
-

a r
ear ward facing child seat,
-

t
he child's feet for a child seat fitted
forward facing.
To do this, move the front seat for wards
and, if necessary, move its backrest into the
upright position.
For optimal installation of the "forward facing"
child seat, verify that its backrest is as close
as possible to the backrest of the vehicle
seat, if possible in contact with it. The head restraint must be removed
before installing a
child seat with
a
backrest on a passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event of
sharp braking. Refit the head restraint when
the child seat is removed.
Children at the front
The legislation on carrying children on the
front passenger seat is specific to each
country. Refer to the legislation in force in
your country.
Deactivate the passenger's front airbag when
a
rear ward facing child seat is installed on the
front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child risks being seriously
injured or killed if the airbag is deployed.
Installing a


booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs. We recommend using a
booster seat with
a backrest equipped with a belt guide at
shoulder level.
As a
safety precaution, do not leave:
-

a c
hild or children alone and unattended in
a


vehicle,
-

a c
hild or an animal in a vehicle under the
sun, with the windows closed,
-

t
he keys within the reach of children inside
the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the doors
and rear windows, use the child lock.
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays of the
sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
