INTRODUCTION

Thank you for deciding on the SIRONA Zi 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 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 vehicle can support the load leg.
•  While driving, the car seat must always be locked in the rearward or forwardfacing 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.
•  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 directsunlight and could potentially burn your child’s skin. Protect your child and thecar seat from direct sun exposure.
•  An accident may cause damage to the car seat that is not identifiable withthe 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.

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

INSTALLATION IN THE VEHICLE

Always ensure that…

• the backrests in the vehicle are locked in their upright position.

•  Fold out the Load leg (4) until it locks into its foremost position.
•  Release the ISOFIX-Release buttons (5) to extend the ISOFIX-Locking arms
• The ISOFIX-Release buttons can both be released independently allowing the ISOFIX-Locking arms to be adjusted independently.

•  Place the car seat on an appropriate seat in the vehicle.
•  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.
•  Ensure the car seat is secure by trying to pull it out of the ISOFIX-Anchorage points (7).
•  Push the car seat towards the backrest of the vehicle seat until it is fully aligned with the backrest.

•  Pull the Load leg (4) out to the next locking position to ensure optimal force transmission.
•  The Load leg indicator (10) switches to GREEN when the load leg is correctly positioned on the vehicle floor.11

ADJUSTING THE HEADREST
The adjustable Headrest (14) can be adjusted by using the Headrest adjustment handle (15) at the back of the Headrest (14). When adjusting the headrest ensure that no more than 2 cm (approx. 2 finger’s width) remain between the child’s shoulders and the headrest.

•  If you are using a seat with a SensorSafe Clip, push the clip closed until you hear an audible “CLICK” and slide the closed clip down towards the Belt buckle (19).
•  Tighten the Lap belts (21) and then pull on the Central adjustment belt (22) to tighten the Shoulder belts (18) until they rest snug against your child’s body.
• The harness should be fitted tight enough so that it is not possible to put a fold in any of the straps.
•  When using the SensorSafe clip, position the clip directly below the shoulder pads.

REMOVING AND REATTACHING THE SEAT COVER

The car seat cover consists of 6 parts. These are fastened to the car seat at several places. Once unfastened, the individual parts of the cover can be removed. To reattach the cover, follow the removal instructions in the reverse order. Before you wash the Newborn inlay (1) or the Comfort insert (2), all foam parts must be removed. There are openings in the fabric for this purpose.
