For proper mounting, proceed as

follows:

– remove the upper tether on the

back of the child's restraint system;

– remove the black plate on the

child's seat back and loosen the

three knob screws completely;

– check whether the release lever B

(fig. 85) is at rest position (inward);

– identify the brackets A (fig. 85)

and mount the child restraint system

with the retainers C (fig. 85) aligned

to the brackets;

– push the child restraint system

until hearing the locking clicks;

– check for proper locking by mov-

ing the child's seat with force: the

built-in safety mechanism actually

inhibit improper coupling with just

one coupling locked.

With this configuration, the child is

secured also by the car seat belts

(fig. 85).

To apply car seat belts to child's

seat, refer to the child's seat hand-

book.
