Instructions for use

The seat belt

The Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System should be used with an automatic 3-point safety belt provided that this has been approved according to ECE R16 or an equivalent standard. Do not use with a 2-point safety belt.

• Your Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System can be fitted safely on almost all the seats in the car with the existing seat belts. However, on some seats the belts are fitted so far forward that proper installation is not possible. If this is the case, try another seat.
• In some cases the buckle of the car belt may be too long and therefore sits too high against the base of the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System. Thus, the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System cannot be fitted securely. If this is the case, choose another position in the car.

Four positions of the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System

The Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System may be used in four positions: Lift the handle under the front of the seat up and pull or push the shell forwards or backwards. Release the handle in the required position and push until you hear a distinct click.

Installing the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System with a 3-point safety belt

(A-B)
When installing the car seat follow the installation instructions for the 3-point safety belt described above (under section "the seat belt").
A 3-point safety belt is shown in figure B.

Place the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System in the sleeping position (A) on the car seat. Thread the seat belt between the shell and base (B1).

Fasten the seat belt in the belt buckle (B1).

The lap belt now fits under the red hooks and the shoulder belt runs from the belt buckle directly diagonally upwards. Place the shoulder belt in the belt clamp on one side only (B2) and fasten it (B3-1). Note! The shoulder belt is now only attached on the side of the roll-up mechanism.

Push the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System firmly into the car seat and pull the shoulder belt tight (B3-2) so that there is no play between the car seat and the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System. Check this!

Placing your child in the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System

Loosen the shoulder belts by pressing the release button and pulling the shoulder belts towards you (C1).

Note! Do not pull on the belt pads.

Open the belt buckle (C2) and drape the belts over the hooks on the shell (C3).

Position your child comfortably with his/her back against the shell (C4) and make sure that there are no toys or other hard objects in the shell.

Slide buckle tongue sections together and insert them in the buckle (C5).

Pull the shoulder belts tight (C6), pull the remaining slack out of the belt system by pulling the belts tight with the adjuster belt (C7).

Note!

• The tighter the belts are around the child, the better the protection.
• Check that the textured side of the belt pads is on the shoulders of your child
• The belts should never be twisted.
• If you are unable to click the tongue sections in the buckle, unblock the buckle by pressing the red button and try again.
• If you are not able to fasten the harness belt properly or pull it tight, contact your supplier immediately. Under no circumstances use the product!

Adjusting the height of the shoulder belts

(C-E)
The correct belt height of the shoulder belts is attained when the belt disappears into the shell slightly above the shoulder of the child. Make sure that the shoulder belts fit properly over the shoulders of the child (C8).

Loosen the shoulder belts by pressing the release button and pulling the shoulder belts towards you as far as possible (C1).
Note! Do not pull the belt pads.

Place the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System in the sleeping position (A) and open the belt guard door (D1). Remove the shoulder belts from the belt yoke (D2).

Pull the shoulder belts through the shell and the cover out of the belt pads, but make sure that the buckle remains fixed to prevent the belts twisting (D3).

If you wish to alter the belts from or to the lowest position, place the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System in the sleeping position (A).
If you wish to alter the belts from or to the middle or highest position, place the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System in the sitting position (A).

Loosen the top part of the cover (D4) and thread the belt pads through the cover and the shell (D5).

From the front thread one belt pad through the correct slot in the cover and shell (D6).

Thread this belt pad via the back through the adjacent hole (D7).

Thread the shoulder belts through the adjusted belt pads, the cover and the shell (D8-D9).

Refit the shoulder belts to the belt yoke and check that the red stitching (x3) on the belt ends and the belt yoke are facing the shell (D10) – if this is not the case your belts are twisted – then close the belt guard door (D1).

Fasten the cover all around, behind the pins (E4). Check that it works!

Maintenance, removing the cover and the belt pads

(D-E)

• The seat may be cleaned with luke-warm water and a gentle soap. Do not use any abrasive detergents.
• The cover must be washed by hand at a maximum temperature of 30°C. Do not use a dryer (see also washing instructions).
• The buckle may be cleaned with warm water.
• It is advisable to buy an extra cover when you purchase the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System enabling the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System to be used at all times also when the cover has to be cleaned (or dried).

Loosen the belts and the belt pads, see fig. D1-D5 under the section "adjusting the height of the shoulder belts".
Loosen the cover all around and also at the release button positioning handle (E1).

Pull the belts, buckle tongue sections and buckle through the cover.

Then remove the cover by pulling it carefully behind the release mechanism (E2).

After washing attach the belt pads (D6-D9) and place the cover on the shell.

Thread the buckle and buckle sections back through the cover and fasten the cover at the release button positioning handle (E3).

Secure the cover on pins (E4).

Close the buckle (C5) and thread the belts through the belt pads, the cover and the shell (D9).
Attach the shoulder belts to the belt yoke and make sure that the red stitching (x3) on the belt ends and the belt yoke are facing the shell (D10) – if this is not the case, your belts are twisted – then close the belt guard door (D1).
Fasten the cover all around, behind the pins (E4). Check that it works!

Checklist

For safety's sake read through this checklist before you set off.

• Check that the harness belt system fits properly and tightly around your child and that the shoulder belts are at the correct height.
• Check regularly that the belt in the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System is not damaged. If it is damaged do not use your product in any circumstances and contact your supplier or importer (see address list on the back of the instruction manual).
• Check that you have secured your Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System properly with the seat belt.
• If you have any questions, please contact your supplier. Make sure that you have the following details to hand:
  • serial number underneath on the orange sticker
  • make and type of vehicle and seat on which the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System is used
  • age and weight of your child.

• 
  Read this instruction manual carefully.
• 
  The correct fitting of the seat belt, along the red marking between the shell and the base of the seat, is of vital importance for the safety of your child. See figure B2 or the sticker on the side of the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System.
• 
  For the future use of the seat, it is important that you store the instruction manual in the space provided on the back of the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System.
• 
  Never leave your child unattended in the car.
• 
  Do not use a child safety seat if the vehicle is equipped with a front airbag. This can be dangerous. This does not apply to so-called side airbags.
• Before use study the illustrations in this instruction manual carefully; the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System is a safety product and is only safe when used in accordance with the instruction manual.
• The Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System must only be used on a forward facing seat that is fitted with an automatic 3-point safety belt (see figure B), which is approved according to ECE R16 or an equivalent standard.
• The Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System may be used on either the front or the back seat. However, we recommend that it is fitted on the back seat.
• The Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System has been approved according to the strictest European safety standards (ECE R44/04) and is suitable for children weighing 9 to 18 kg (approx. age 9 months to 3,5 years).
• After an accident the seat may become unsafe due to damage that is not immediately noticeable. It should therefore be replaced.
• The safety of the seat can only be guaranteed by the manufacturer if it is used by the original owner.
• We strongly advise you not to use a second-hand product, as you can never be sure what has happened to it.
• The belt pads are important for the safety of your child, therefore use them at all times.
• Ensure that all luggage and objects likely to cause injury in the event of an accident are properly secured.
• It is recommended that the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System should not be used longer than 5 years after the date of purchase. The properties of the product may deteriorate due to, for example, ageing of the plastic and this may not be visible.
• The moving parts of the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System should not be lubricated in any way.

Other instructions

• The Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System must not be used without the cover. Always use an original Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System cover, as the cover contributes to the safety of the seat.
• The seat must always be secured with a seat belt, even when not in use. An unsecured seat may injure other passengers in the car in the event of an emergency stop.
• Ensure that the seat is not damaged by wedging it between or underneath heavy luggage, adjustable seats or slamming the car door etc.
• No alterations may be made to the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System as this could affect part or the overall safety of the seat.
• In hot weather the plastic and metal parts of the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System may feel hot to the touch. You should therefore cover the seat if the car is parked in the sun.
• In order to prevent damage to the cover, do not remove the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System logo.
• Use the seat even on short journeys as this is when most accidents occur.
• Prior to purchase check that the seat fits properly in your car.
• Take short breaks on longer journeys so that your child has some freedom of movement.
• Set a good example yourself and always wear your seat belt.
• Tell your child that he/she should never play with the belt buckle.
