4. INSTALLING THE CHILD CAR SEAT
Activating the Top Tether buzzer.
To activate the Top Tether buzzer, remove the
battery cover located on the back of the mirror
(see gure 34) by removing the transparent
lm protruding from the cover.
The child car seat is in the facing forward po-
sition when packed.
For easy installation, we recommend position-
ing the child car seat facing rearward.
Turn the child car seat rotation knob (P) while
turning the car seat toward you (Fig. 1). Now,
using the release lever (Q), position the car
seat in forward-facing position until you hear
the CLICK when it is fastened correctly (Fig. 2).
Starting from the storage position, release Top
Tether hook (U) from its coupling position (Fig.

tivated until installation is completed correctly.
Pull out both Isox connectors by pressing the
buttons (S) (Fig. 4).
Fasten both ISOFIX connectors (R) to the corre-
sponding ISOFIX hooks on the car seat between
the backrest and the seat (Fig. 5). You will hear
a “click” when the connectors t into place and
the relevant indicators turn green.
Push the child car seat rmly against the back-
rest of the car seat (Fig. 6).
WARNING! Pull the car seat towards you to
make sure that the seat has been installed
correctly on both sides. Check also that the
child car seat is resting perfectly against the
backrest of the car seat.
The child car seat is completely tted ONLY
with the installation of the Top Tether.
WARNING! Refer to your car’s user manual
to identify where the Top Tether of the child
car seat is attached to the car. This fastening
point is denoted with a specic label (Fig. 7)
and can be found in the
positions indicated by gures 8a – 8b – 8c – 8d.
WARNING! Check that the Top Tether fastener
used is the one that has been specially desig-
nated. Do not confuse it with a ring used for
hanging bags (Fig. 9).
WARNING! Pass the Top Tether between the
top of the car seat backrest and the headrest.
Never pass the Top Tether above the car head-
rest (Fig. 10-11).
Once you have identied the fastening point,
connect to the Top Tether hook (U).
Adjust the length of the Top Tether belt by
forcefully pulling the belt until it is tight (Fig.

goes green (N) and the buzzer stops when
the tether is suitably tight (Fig. 13).
Roll up any excess belt and tie up using the
velcro (Fig. 14).
