tensioner spindle. IMPORTANT: Ensure that the lap
section of the seat belt is tight. There should be NO slack
in the lap section of the belt (this can be checked by
gently pulling the lap section of the belt).
6. Move the handle on the seat belt tensioner backwards
and forwards a few times until the belt is fully tightened
(do not push the button on the tensioner). IMPORTANT:
if the belt is tight, the handle should be closed
again. (*see diagram).
7. Rotate the seat shell to face the direction of travel. The
green indicator will be visible on the upper side of the
base. The green indicator shows that the seat shell is
safely locked into position in the direction of travel.
IMPORTANT: even when travelling with the car seat
unoccupied, it should always be locked into position in
the direction of travel.
Check that the car seat is installed correctly (according
to the diagrams). Proper threading of the seat belt is
essential to ensure the safety of your child. To fasten the
car seat into the car, the seat belt should pass along the red
markings on the Maxi-Cosi Axiss. You should also refer to the
instruction sticker on the side of the Maxi-Cosi Axiss. Never
fit the seat belt in a way other than that described! Any other
way of installing this seat is unsafe.

Maxi-Cosi Axiss, check the following points and correct
your installation if necessary:
IMPORTANT: When the child is seated in the Maxi-Cosi
Axiss, the seat shell should be locked into position facing the
direction of travel. Only then should the car be driven.
IMPORTANT:

- Ensure that the seat belt is fastened properly.
IMPORTANT: in some cars it may be necessary to push the
upper side of the seat shell downwards to lock the shell in
place (green indicator).

The car seat is not stable
• R aise the headrest to a higher position. The headrest
should NOT come into contact with the Maxi-Cosi Axiss.
• W henever possible and whenever necessary, adjust
the angle of the backseat's backrest so that it is in full
contact with the base of the car seat.
The seat shell is difficult to rotate and/or locking the
seat shell into position in the direction of travel (green
indicator) is difficult.
Check the installation:
• T he seat belt must pass through all belt guides.
• T he lap section of the belt must TIGHTLY pass through
the belt guides, with no slack.
• T he seat belt should not affect the seat part of the car
seat.
• T he seat belt has possibly been fastened too tight.
• T he position of the backrest and back seat could be the
cause of the problem – adjust the angle between the seat
and the backrest.
• I f possible, adjust the backrest so that it is completely in
contact with the base of the car seat.
• C heck that nothing is impeding or obstructing the car
seat.
If you are still unable to rectify the problem, we
suggest you contact the retailer from which you have
purchased the car seat.
