Usage Features:

Installation in Vehicle:
- Rear-facing (40-105 cm):
  1. Ensure the car seat is in the rear-facing position.
  2. Extend the ISOFIX connectors and attach them to the vehicle's ISOFIX anchors until you hear a "click" and the indicators turn green.
  3. Adjust the support leg to the floor of the vehicle until it is stable.
  4. Attach the top tether to the designated anchor point in the vehicle and tighten it securely.
  5. Ensure all indicators are green and the seat is firmly installed.
- Forward-facing (100-150 cm):
  1. Remove the 5-point harness system and store it according to the instructions.
  2. Position the child in the car seat.
  3. Route the vehicle's 3-point seat belt through the designated guides on the car seat and buckle it.
  4. Ensure the lap belt is low over the child's hips and the shoulder belt rests across the child's shoulder, not their neck.
Child Placement and Securing:
- For children 40-105 cm, place the child in the seat, ensuring their back is flat against the backrest. Fasten the 5-point harness, making sure it is snug but not too tight. The harness straps should be at or slightly below the child's shoulders.
- For children 100-150 cm, ensure the vehicle's 3-point seat belt is correctly positioned across the child's body.
Recline Adjustment: The recline handle is located under the seat shell. Pull it to adjust the backrest angle.
Headrest Adjustment: The headrest can be adjusted by squeezing the handle at the top of the headrest and moving it up or down.
