Thank you for deciding on the CLOUD Z2 i-Size when choosing your car seat.
Carefully read this User Guide before installing the car seat in your vehicle and always keep it to hand in the designated compartment (34).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND WARNINGS

• Without the approval of the Type Approval Authority, the car seat may not be modified or added to in any way.

• In order to keep your child properly protected, it is absolutely essential that you use the car seat as described in this User guide.

• This car seat may only be installed on vehicle seats that are approved for the use of child restraint systems according to the vehicle manual.

• The car seat can either be attached with the Base Z2 and ISOFIX or with a 3-point automatic belt that is approved according to UN regulation No. 16 or an equivalent standard.

• If the car seat is installed using a 3-point automatic belt, the vehicle belt buckle must never reach the lap belt guide of the car seat. If the belt whip is too long, the car seat is not suitable for use in this position in the vehicle.

• The installation of this car seat on the front passenger seat with the front airbag activated is NOT PERMITTED.

• Do not use any load-bearing contact points other than those described in the User guide and marked on the child restraint.

• The Newborn inlay is used to protect your child and must be used up until they have reached a height of 60 cm.

• Before each journey make sure that the car seat harness system is correctly adjusted and fits tightly to the child’s body. The belts must never be twisted!

• Always buckle up your child when it is in the car seat.

• Only an optimally adjusted headrest can offer your child maximum protection and comfort while ensuring that the belt system can be fitted appropriately.

• The car seat must always be correctly installed and secured in the vehicle even when not in use.

• If the car seat is used with the Base Z2 the load leg must always make direct contact with the floor of the vehicle. If your vehicle has storage compartments in the footwell, be sure to contact the vehicle manufacturer.

• While driving, the car seat must always be locked in the rear-facing position.

• For the car seat to provide the best possible protection, always use linear side-impact protection (L.S.P.).

• If using the car seat on the middle seat of the vehicle, the linear side-impact protection (L.S.P.) must never be folded out.

• The car seat has also been tested and approved for use without the linear side-impact protection (L.S.P.) folded out.

• Always ensure that the car seat is not jammed against any surface when closing the vehicle door or adjusting the back seat.

• Luggage or any other objects present in the vehicle must always be firmly secured. Otherwise, they may be thrown within the vehicle, which could cause fatal injuries.

• The car seat must never be used without the seat cover. Ensure that only an original CYBEX seat cover is used, as the cover is a key element allowing the seat to function correctly.

• Never leave your child unattended in the vehicle.

• It is allowed to use the intermediate lie-flat position in the car if the seat is used with Base Z2. If the car seat is installed using a 3-point automatic belt, it has to be in the most upright position.

• The full lie-flat position may only be used outside the vehicle.

• Do not place the car seats on raised surfaces, such as a table.

• Parts of this child restraint system can heat up when exposed to direct sunlight and could potentially burn your child’s skin. Protect your child and the car seat from direct sun exposure.

• An accident may cause damage to the car seat that is not identifiable to the naked eye. Please replace the car seat after an accident. In case of doubt, please consult your dealer or the manufacturer.

• Do not use this car seat for more than 8 years. The car seat is exposed to high stress during its product lifespan, which leads to changes in the quality of its materials with increasing age.

• The plastic parts can be cleaned with a mild cleaning agent and warm water.
  Never use harsh cleaning agents or bleaches!

• On some vehicle seats made of sensitive materials, the use of car seats may leave marks and/or cause discoloration. To prevent this, you can place a blanket, towel or similar underneath the car seat to protect the vehicle seat.

THE CORRECT POSITION IN THE VEHICLE
This is an i-Size Enhanced Child Restraint System. It is approved according to UN Regulation No. R129/03, for use in i-Size compatible vehicle seating positions as indicated by vehicle manufacturers in their vehicle user manuals. If your vehicle does not have an i-Size seating position, please check the enclosed vehicle Type List. You can obtain the most up-to-date version of the Type List from www.cybex-online.com.
Alternatively, the car seat may be installed on forward-facing vehicle seats equipped with a 3-point automatic belt system.

DIFFERENT USES OF THE SEAT

The Newborn inlay (4) integrated at purchase should be removed if your child is taller than 60 cm. To remove the Newborn inlay (4) open the belt buckle (25), pull off the shoulder pads, and then remove the inlay.

PREPARING TO INSTALL THE BASE Z2
Before using the base for the first time, the plastic strip must be removed from the battery compartment (1) on the Load leg (3). The Base (2) will emit an audible warning signal until it has been correctly installed. If the Load leg (3) is folded out and there is no sound, the battery must be checked. To check the battery, the battery compartment (1) on the back of the load leg can be opened with a screwdriver. The battery may only be replaced with a CR2032 size battery.

INSTALLATION IN THE VEHICLE
Always ensure that…

• the backrests in the vehicle are locked in their upright position.
• when installing the car seat on the front passenger seat, adjust the vehicle seat as far back as possible.

The infant car seat is exclusively made for forward-facing car seats, which are equipped with ISOFIX or with a 3-point belt system.

Installation of the car seat with Base Z2

1. Keep the Driving Direction Control (D.D.C.) button (30) downward and ensure the base is adjusted for rearward-facing car seats.

3. Release the ISOFIX-Release buttons (5) to extend the ISOFIX-Locking arms (6).
   The ISOFIX-Release buttons can both be released independently allowing the ISOFIX-Locking arms to be adjusted independently.

5. Place the base (2) on an appropriate seat in the vehicle.

6. Push the ISOFIX-Locking arms (6) into the ISOFIX-Anchorage points (7) until these lock into place with an audible “CLICK”. The two ISOFIX Indicators (8) will switch from RED to GREEN.

7. Ensure the base is secure by trying to pull it out of the ISOFIX-Anchorage points (7).

8. Push the Base (2) towards the backrest of the vehicle seat until it is fully aligned with the backrest.
   Moving the base from side to side will also brace it against the vehicle’s backrest.
