1. Safety Notice
·Before using the RECARO Monza Nova 2/ Seatfix, RECARO Monza Nova Evo / Seatfix,
please read the instructions carefully.
·Ensure that the belt position is correct at the load-bearing points. The buckle must always
be below the belt guide (fig. 1).
·The child seat is only suitable for use in vehicles if the vehicle is authorised and fitted with three-
point seatbelts approved under UN - ECE Regulation No. 16 or other comparable standards.
·The child seat should always be fitted in accordance with the instructions, even when not in
use. In the event that the driver has to brake hard in an emergency, an unattached seat may
cause injury to other occupants in the vehicle.
·The child seat is only approved for use for weight classes II-III (15 - 36kg). The seat should
only be installed facing in the direction of travel.
·Install the child seat in the vehicle in such a way that it is not clamped by the front seats or
the vehicle door.
·The child seat must not be modified in any way, and the instructions for installation and
use must be followed carefully, otherwise your child could be put at risk while travelling.
·The belts must not be twisted or trapped and must be completely tightened.
· IMPORTANT: Ensure that the lap belt in particular is tight and fitted as low as possible
across the child‘s pelvis.
·After an accident, the child seat must be removed and tested in the factory and, if
necessary, replaced.
·Very bulky items of clothing must be removed prior to securing the child in.
·Always ensure that items of luggage and other objects are adequately secured, particu-
larly those on the parcel shelf, as these could cause injury in the event of a collision.
·Always set a good example and always use your seat belt. An adult who is not wearing a
seatbelt can also endanger your child.
· Notice: Only original accessories or replacement parts may be used.
·Never leave your child unattended.
·Always strap your child in.
·Protect the child seat from direct sunlight in order to avoid your child being burnt by it
and to preserve the color of the cover.
·The child seat must not be used without the cover. The cover must never be replaced
with a cover which has not been recommended by the manufacturer, since this cover
comprises an integral part of the seat safety system.
2. Installing the child car seat
2.1 Installing in the vehicle without the Seatfix
Place the RECARO Monza Nova 2/ Seatfix, Monza Nova Evo/ Seatfix on the intended
vehicle seat. This must be fitted with a three-point seat belt that has been tested according
to ECE-R16 or a comparable safety standard. Details on your vehicle’s suitability for child
car seats are also given in the vehicle manual. (fig. 2).
2.2 Installing in the vehicle with the Seatfix
· Attention: Always use the vehicle’s 3-point seat belt when securing your child! The Seatfix
system improves the level of protection in the event of a side impact, and secures the seat
when it is not in use. Insert the insertion aids through the upholstery slit in the back rest
and seat and attach to the Isofix attachment brackets. This is not necessary where insertion
aids are already permanently installed. Ensure that the open side is facing upwards. (fig. 3).
·To install the child car seat in the car extend the Seatfix-connctors (A). Press the locking levers at
the sides of the seat and pull back the Seatfix-connectors until the limit stop is reached. (fig. 4).
·Lock the Seatfix-connectors (A) onto the Isofix-attachment brackets, making sure the green
mark on both connectors is visible. Check that they are firmly locked by pulling both sides
of the seat. Then push the child car seat, with the locking levers pressed down, towards the
vehicle seat until the backrest is positioned up against the backrest of the vehicle seat. (fig. 5).
·After an accident at a speed exceeding 10 km/h, the child seat may have been damaged. It is
therefore imperative that the seat is checked by the manufacturer and, if necessary, replaced. The
possible release of the connectors in the event of an accident is intentional as it increases the safe-
ty of your child. Never use the child seat when the Seatfix connectors have been released! (fig. 6).
3. Adjusting the child car seat
The size of the seat can be adjusted while the lever at the back of the headrest is pulled
up. (fig. 7). Please also refer to Chapter 4. “Strapping the child in”.
4. Strapping the child in
· Attention: Never twist the belt! Place the lap belt of the 3-point seat belt in the lower
belt guides and close the lock. Ensure that it locks with an audible click. (fig. 8).
·Make sure that the seat belt lock is below the seat’s belt guide. The lap belt must be
placed as low as possible over the child’s groin. (fig. 9).
