cybex UN R129 Sirona Zi I-Size Car Seat

Thank you for deciding on the SIRONA Zi i-Size when choosing your car seat. Carefully read this User Guide before installing the car seat in your vehicle and always keep the guide to hand in the designated compartment.

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.
•  Do not use forward facing before the child’s age exceeds 15 months and before the child has reached a size of 76 cm.
•  This car seat may only be installed on vehicle seats which are approved for the use of child restraint systems according to the vehicle manual.
•  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.
•  The lap belts on the harness must run as low as possible across your child’s groin to have optimum effect in the event of an accident.
•  Before each journey make sure that the five-point harness is correctly adjusted and fits tightly to the child’s body. The belts must never be twisted!
•  Only an optimally adjusted headrest can offer your child maximum protection and comfort while ensuring that the shoulder belts can be fitted appropriately.
• 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 to ensure the floor of the vehicle can support the load leg.
•  While driving, the car seat must always be locked in the rearward or forward-facing position.
• For the car seat to provide the best possible protection, always use the linear side-impact protection (L.S.P.).
• If using the car seat on the middle seat of the vehicle’s back bench, 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. The car seat must always be correctly installed and secured in the vehicle even when not in use.
•  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.
•  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 with 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 discolouration. To prevent this, you can place a blanket, towel or similar underneath the car seat to protect the vehicle seat.
