POSITIONING THE SEAT CORRECTLY IN THE VEHICLE
The CYBEX PALLAS M-fi x with retracted ISOFIX CONNECT system
can be used on all vehicle seats with automatic three-point safety belts
approved for the transport of adult persons.
WARNING! The seat is not suitable for use with a two-point or lap belt. If the
seat is secured using a two-point belt, an accident may result in severe or
even fatal injuries to the child.
A 'semi-universal' approval is provided for fi xtures using ISOFIX CONNECT
locking arms (o). For this reason, ISOFIX CONNECT can only be used in
certain vehicles. Please refer to the enclosed vehicle type list for approved
vehicles. You can obtain the most up-to-date version from
www.cybex-online.com.
In exceptional cases, the child seat may also be used on the front passenger seat.
Please note the following in this case:
• In cars with airbags, you should push the passenger seat back as far as possible.
When doing so, however, ensure that the upper pivot point of the safety belt is
behind the belt feed point of the child seat.
• Always comply with the recommendations of the vehicle manufacturer.
WARNING! The diagonal belt (f) must run back at an incline and must never
run forward to the upper belt point in your vehicle. If it is not possible to adjust
the seat in this way, e.g. by pushing the car seat forward or using it on another
seat, this child seat is not suitable for your vehicle.
Luggage or other objects present in the vehicle that may cause injury in the event of
an accident must always be fi rmly secured. Otherwise, they may be thrown, causing
fatal injuries.
WARNING! The child seat may not be used on car seats facing to the side of
the direction of travel. Use of the child seat is permitted on rear-facing seats,
e.g. in a van or minibus, provided that the seat is permitted for transporting
an adult. Please note that the vehicle head rest must not be removed when
fitting on a rear-facing seat! Even if not in use, the child seat must always be
secured with the safety belt. This applies even if the child set has already been
secured to the vehicle using the ISOFIX CONNECT system. An unsecured
child seat can injure other passengers and yourself even when just performing
an emergency brake or in the event of a minor collision.
Note! Never leave your child unattended in the vehicle.
