5. SAFETY NOTES
Please take the time to read these instructions carefully and keep them
to hand in the intended storage compartment
on the child safety seat
14
at all times. The instructions must be kept with the child safety seat if the
latter is passed on to a third party.
DANGER! For the protection of your child:
• In the event of an accident with a collision speed of more than 10 km/h, the
child safety seat may be damaged without the damage becoming immediately
visible. In this case the child safety seat must be replaced. Please dispose of
it properly.
• As a rule, have your child safety seat checked if it was damaged (e.g if it falls
on the ground).
• Regularly check all important parts for damage. Ensure that all mechanical
parts, in particular, are fully functional.
• Never lubricate or oil parts of the child seat.
Never leave your child unattended in the child seat in the vehicle.
• Only allow your child to enter and exit the vehicle on the pavement side.
• Protect the child safety seat from intensive direct sunlight when it is not in use.
The child safety seat can get very hot in direct sunshine. Children's skin is
sensitive and could be harmed as a result.
• The more snugly the belt fits over your child's body, the better they will be pro-
tected. Therefore, avoid putting thick clothes on your child under the belt.
• Take regular breaks on long journeys in order to give your child the opportu-
nity to run about and play.
• Use on the rear seat: Move the front seat far enough forwards to ensure that
your child's feet cannot hit the backrest of the front seat (to prevent the risk of
injury).
DANGER! For the protection of all vehicle occupants:
In the case of an emergency stop or an accident, unsecured persons or ob-
jects may cause injury to other vehicle occupants. Please always check that...
• no other load-bearing contact points are used other than those specified in
these instructions and marked out on the child safety seat.
• the backrests of the vehicle seats are locked (i.e. that a foldable rear seat
bench latch is engaged).
• all heavy or sharp-edged objects in the vehicle (e.g. on the parcel shelf) are
secured.
• all persons in the vehicle have their seatbelts fastened.
• the child safety seat is always secured when it is in the vehicle, even if no child
is being transported.
WARNING! For your protection when handling the child seat:
• Never use the child safety seat free-standing, not even for test sitting.
• To avoid damage, ensure that the child safety seat is not jammed in between
hard objects (car door, seat rails, etc.).
• Keep the child safety seat in a safe place when it is not in use. Do not place any
heavy objects on the seat and do not store it directly next to sources of heat or
in direct sunlight.
CAUTION! To protect your vehicle:
• Certain car seat covers made from more sensitive materials (e.g. velour,
leather, etc.) may sustain signs of wear and tear when using child safety seats.
For optimum protection of your car seat covers, we recommend using the
BRITAX RÖMER car seat protector from our range of accessories.
6. PREPARATORY WORK
01
02
1. If your vehicle is not fitted with ISOFIX insertion aids by standard, clamp the
two insertion aids
02
, which are included in the scope of delivery of the
seat*, with the section pointing upwards to the two ISOFIX fastening points
01
of your vehicle.
TIP: The ISOFIX fastening points are located between the surface and the
backrest of the vehicle seat.
2. Move the headrest of the vehicle seat into the top position.
* The insertion aids facilitate the installation of the child safety seat with the use of the
ISOFIX fastening points and prevent damage to the car seat covers. As long as they are
not used, remove them and keep them in a safe place. For vehicles with a foldable back-
rest, the insertion aids need to be removed before folding the backrest. Any problems
occurring usually come from soiling or external objects on the insertion aids and on the
hook. Remove soiling or external objects to rectify such problems.
