WARNING
Child restraint systems or their securing
systems that have been damaged or sub-
jected to a load in an accident cannot per-
form their intended protective function. In
the event of an accident, sharp braking or a
sudden change in direction, the child may
not be held securely. There is an increased
risk of serious or even fatal injuries.
Immediately replace child restraint sys-
tems that have been damaged or subjected
to a load in an accident. Have the child
restraint securing systems checked in a
qualified specialist workshop before fit-
ting a child restraint system again.
i Use the smart care products to clean the
child restraint systems recommended by
smart. Further information can be
obtained at a qualified specialist work-
shop.

WARNING
ISOFIX child restraint systems or i-Size
child restraint systems do not offer suffi-
cient protection for children whose weight
is greater than 22 kg, who are secured
using the safety belt integrated in the
child restraint system. The child could, for
example, not be restrained correctly in the
event of an accident. This poses an
increased risk of injury or even fatal
injury.
If the child weighs more than 22 kg, only
use ISOFIX child restraint systems or i-
Size child restraint systems with which the
child is also secured with the vehicle seat
belt. Also secure the child restraint system
with the Top Tether belt, if available.
When fitting a child restraint system, be sure
to observe the manufacturer's installation
instructions and the instructions for correct
use of the child restraint system.
ISOFIX and i‑Size are standardised securing
systems for special restraint systems. ISOFIX
child restraint systems are approved in
accordance with ECE R44, i‑Size child
restraint systems are approved in accord-
ance with ECE R129.
Only child restraint systems that comply
with the ECE R44 standard may be attached to
the ISOFIX securing rings. ISOFIX child
restraint systems approved in accordance
with ECE R44 and i-Size child restraint sys-
tems approved in accordance with ECE R129
can be attached to i-Size securing rings.
If you are using an ISOFIX or an i-Size child
restraint system on the front-passenger seat
and the child is not secured using the seat
belt of the front-passenger seat, the belt
warning may be activated (
