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).
∙ Then insert the diagonal belt into the belt guide on the headrest. The shoulder belt may only
lead backwards from the child's perspective! If necessary, only use the car seat on the vehic-
le's back seat. (fig. 10).
The optimal belt position is on the middle of the collarbone and not too close to your child's
∙
neck. (fig. 11).
∙ The belt guide should be set to slightly above the shoulder. Your child will then be properly
secured by the seat belt. (fig. 12).
Attention: Make sure that the child seat is always properly secured, even if it is not being used.
∙
In the event of emergency braking, a loose seat can injure the other occupants in the car.
5. Removing the Seatfix
To release the Seatfix-connectors pull on the loop and then push the Seatfix-connectors back
into the seat. (fig. 13).
6. Cleaning the seat cover
∙ The seat covers of the RECARO Monza Nova 2 / Seatfix, Monza Nova Evo / Seatfix can be
washed according to the instructions on the care label sewn onto the cover. Please remove
all removable foam pads from and out of the covers before washing. These pads must not be
washed. To remove the seat cover initially release all the elastic and buttonhole connections.
(fig. 14).
∙ Pull the lower plastic strip out of the relevant slit. (fig. 15).
Pull the seat cushion off towards the front. Proceed in the same manner with the backrest and
∙
headrest. To reattach the cover proceed in the reverse order. (fig. 16).
7. Child seat features / fundamentals (not included in all versions)
∙ The socket for the connection of a commercial music player is located here (fig. 17).
Attention: To prevent hearing impairment ensure that your child does not listen to music or
∙
audio media at a high level volume for extended periods. The European Toy Safety Directive and
the corresponding European Standard EN 71 / 1 stipulate the maximum volume for toys. Accor-
dingly, the maximum volume for "toys in close proximity to ears" must not exceed 80 decibels.
For your reference: this is the sound level of a busy street. This limit value applies to toys that are
mostly used close to the ear. The standard assumes a distance of 2.5 centimetres.
∙ The connection cable for the sound system is enclosed. The connection cable for the sound
system is enclosed. It can be laid underneath the upholstery before use. The pocket for the
music player is on the left hand side of the seat cushion. (fig. 18).
Attention: Avoid the formation of cable loops in the head area and area between the seat
∙
and backrest! To do this pull out the connecting cable slightly in the seat and stow the excess
length in the music player pocket.
∙ The head support is continuously variable in height providing the child with a safe sleeping
position; this means the child's head is prevented from falling forwards and therefore remains
within the protective headrest area. Adjust the inflatable air cushion to the normal state of
"full"for optimal safety (press the hand pump 15 to 20 times). (fig. 19).
∙ By pressing the air outlet valve, the resting position for the head can be easily adjusted. By
pressing the inflatable air cushion the air is released even more quickly. If a more upright
position is required, pump up the inflatable air cushion again as shown above. (fig. 20).
∙ The reinforced ribs at the sides and the cover itself serve to improve your child's safety in the
event of a side impact and enable convenient ventilation behind the entire backrest. (fig. 21).
