Troubleshooting
Car seat won't click into Isofix points.
Ensure Isofix covers on the car seat are retracted and that the vehicle's Isofix points are clear of debris. Push firmly until you hear a click from both sides.

Make sure the support leg is fully extended and firmly planted on the vehicle floor. Check that it is locked in position according to the manual's instructions. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing it from reaching the floor.
360° swivel is stiff or stuck.
Check for any obstructions preventing rotation. Ensure the seat is not under heavy load or at an extreme recline angle that might impede movement. Refer to the manual for any specific release mechanisms.

Ensure the harness is not twisted. Check that the adjustment strap is not caught on anything. Follow the manual's instructions for proper harness adjustment.
