WARNING
• Read the instructions carefully before use and keep

Failure to closely follow the installation instructions for
the car seat will put your child at risk.
• The assembly and installation procedures for
Vito must be carried out by adults.
The assembly and installation procedures must be
carried out without the child in the car seat.
• When travelling in the vehicle, never hold the child in your
arms and never put him/her anywhere but in the seat. In
the event of sudden braking, even at low speeds, the child
would be flung forward.
• Do not insert fingers into the mechanisms.
• When travelling take particular care to make sure that
luggage or other objects are not located where they may
injure the child in the car seat in the event of an accident.
• Do not use installation methods different from those
indicated. This would result in the risk of detachment from
the vehicle’s seat.
• Ensure that the vehicle’s three-point safety belt securing the
car seat is always taut and not twisted. It should be replaced
if it undergoes significant strain due to an accident.
• Never leave the child unattended in the car seat: observe
him/her even when he/she is sleeping.
• Never remove the child from the car seat while the vehicle
is in motion.
• Make sure that the car seat is not obstructed by any
moving parts of the vehicle’s seat or by one of the doors.

Check that the harness is not twisted and that the child
does not release it.

Some parts might heat up and be harmful to the delicate

17
skin of the child – check before placing the child in the seat.
• Do not use the car seat without its fabric covering,
which cannot be replaced with one not approved by the
manufacturer since it is an integral part of the car seat and
the safety system.
• Do not use the car seat without the protective padding for
the shoulder straps as they are an integral part of the car
seat and the safety system.

mean the product is no longer compliant with standards.

or missing parts, if it is second hand, or if it has been
subjected to violent stress in an accident, because it might
have suffered extremely dangerous structural damage.

product, contact the post-sales assistance service. The relevant
information is provided on the last page of this manual.

when the child is not present. In the event of sudden
braking, it could injure the occupants of the vehicle.

with the car seat against the vehicle’s seat until they can go
no further (Arrow B).

fitted with this system).

safety belts (the term UNIVERSAL indicates compatibility of the
car seat with vehicles fitted with this type of belt).
• The top of the label displays the trademark of the
manufacturing company and the name of the product.
• The letter E in a circle indicates the European approval
mark and the number indicates the country that issued the
approval (1: Germany, 2: France, 3: Italy, 4: Netherlands, 11:
Great Britain, 24: Republic of Ireland).
• Approval number: if it starts with 04, this indicates the fourth
amendment (the one currently in force) of Regulation R44.
• Reference standard: UN/ECE R44/04.
• Production serial number: on issue of approval, each car
seat is personalized with its own number.
