the belt guiding hook. Move the front brace inwards with the
ratchet, not further than the stop sign. The ratchet is used to

Before you can install the seat in the vehicle, you have to
mount 2 anchor belts which will be connected with the
connectors at the backside of the child seat. The anchor
belts have to be connected with the vehicle.
This can be done in 4 different ways.
Release the fixing bolts on the 2 rear/front
fixing points of the rails of the front seat of
the vehicle.
The attachment fittings have to go
underneath the rail on the vehicle seat
chassis. Reassemble the fixing bolts
and tighten firmly (3).
Thread the belt loop of the anchor belt
through the opening of the attachment
fitting. Then bring the anchor belt
locking device through the belt loop
and pull hard (4).
Secure an anchor belt round each of
the rails of the front seat of the vehicle
by bringing the locking device of the
anchor belt through the belt loop. Pull
tight (5).
Cross the anchor belts under the front
seat of the vehicle.
First alternative: using the rails
of the front seat
