AXKID ENVIROBASE adjustments
The AXKID ENVIROBASE can be adjusted to provide more leg space for the child or to provide more space for the driver or passenger seat in your vehicle. This is done by adjusting the length of the ISOFIX arms and the front brace.

The ISOFIX arms (F) are adjusted by pulling the ISOFIX knob (I) and simultaneously pushing or pulling on the ISOFIX arms (F).

F2 The front brace can be adjusted to different positions to accommodate different seating positions with more or less leg room for the child. The front brace (A) is not installed on the base at delivery and must be inserted into AXKID ENVIROBASE. Pull the front
brace release knob (B)and slide the front brace (A) into its slot. Make sure that the front brace release knob (B) clicks into position after adjusting the front brace. WARNING: The front brace is an important safety feature and must always be used when installing AXKID ENVIROBASE in a vehicle.

Note that you can only replace the battery with a CR1632 size battery.
