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 before the child’s age exceeds 15 months and before the child has reached a size of 76 cm. Do not use anymore if the maximum weight of the child of 21 kg has been exceeded.
• 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.
• Do not use any load-bearing contact points other than those described in the user guide and marked on the vehicle seat to secure the car seat.
• Before each journey, make sure that the impact shield is correctly tightened and fits tightly against the body. The belts must never be twisted!
• Only an optimally adjusted headrest can offer your child maximum protection and comfort.
• The car seat must always be correctly installed and secured in the vehicle even when not in use.
• 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 car can support the load leg.
• For the car seat to provide the best possible protection, always use the doorside Linear Side-impact Protection (L.S.P).
• The car seat has also been tested and approved for use without the Linear Side-impact Protection (L.S.P.) folded out.
• The Linear Side-impact Protection (L.S.P) facing the inside of the vehicle must be folded in if the car seat is used on the front passenger seat or another person is sitting in the rear seat of the vehicle.
• Never attempt to disassemble the seat yourself, not even for disposal. We strictly advise against removing fixed parts such as the impact shield. Please follow the disposal instructions set out in this user guide.
• Never remove individual parts of the impact shield! Only the outer cover of the impact shield may be removed.
• Do not place any objects on the impact shield. Do not use any sharp objects on or near the impact shield.
• 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 car seat cover. Ensure that only an original CYBEX car seat cover is used, as the cover constitutes an integral part of the restraint performance.
• 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. 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 10 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.
• Only the removable cover of the car seat can be machine washed.
• 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.
• The car seat is equipped with an integrated airbag system. It is also tested and approved without an active airbag system.

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 with the enclosed vehicle type list whether the use is permitted.

You can obtain the most up-to-date version of the type list from www.cybex- online.com.

For safety and comfort reasons, we recommend using the vehicle seat behind the front passenger.
