the two insertion aids 02 (which are included in the scope of delivery of
the seat*) onto the two ISOFIX fast ening points 01 of your vehicle with the
opening pointing upwards.
Tip! The ISOFIX fast ening points are located between the surface and the
backrest of the vehicle seat.
* The insertion aids make it easier to install the child safety seat when using the ISOFIX
fastening points and they prevent damage t o the car seat covers. If you do not need them,
they must be removed from the child safety seat and kept somewher e safe. On vehicles
with a fold-down backrest, the insertion aids must be removed before folding down the
backrest. Pr oblems are typically caused by soiling or ext ernal objects in the insertion aids
and on the hook. Remove soiling or external objects t o rectify such problems.
