3. SAFETY NO TES
DANGER! F or the protection of your child:
In the event of an accident at a collision speed of more than 10km/h, the child
safety seat may be damaged without the damage becoming immediately visible. In
this case, the child safety seat must be replaced. Please dispose of it properly .
• Always have your child safety seat checked if you suspect it may have been
damaged (e.g if it falls on the ground).
• Regularly check all important parts for damage. Ensure that all mechanical parts,
in particular , are fully functional.
• Never lubricate or oil parts of the child seat.
• Never leave your child unattended in the child seat in the vehicle.
• Only allow your child to enter and e xit the vehicle on the pavement side.
• Prot ect the child safety seat from int ensive direct sunlight when it is not in use.
The child safety seat can get very hot in direct sunshine. Children's skin is sensi-
tive and could be harmed as a result.
• The more snugly the belt fits over your child's body, the better they will be pr otected.
Avoid putting thick clothes on your child under the belt.
• T ake regular br eaks on long journeys in order to give your child the opportunity t o
run about and play .
• Use on the rear seat: Move the front seat far enough forwards t o ensure that your
child's feet cannot hit the backrest of the front seat (t o prevent risk of injury).
• If your child tries to open
the red ISOFIT safety button
06
or a buckle, stop the
vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. Check whether the child safety seat is correctly
fastened and ensure that your child is corr ectly secured. Explain to your child the
dangers associated with their actions.
DANGER! F or the protection of all vehicle occupants:
In the case of an emergency stop or an accident, unsecur ed persons or objects may
cause injury to other vehicle occupants. Please always check that:
• the backrests of the vehicle seats are locked, e.g. that a foldable r ear seat bench
latch is engaged.
• all heavy or sharp-edged objects in the vehicle (e.g. on the parcel shelf ) are
secured.
• all persons in the vehicle have their seat belts fastened.
• the child safety seat is always secured when it is in the vehicle, even if no child is
being transport ed.
WARNING! F or your protection when handling the child seat:
• Never use the child safety seat free standing, not even for test sitting.
• T o avoid damage, ensure that the child safety seat is not jammed in between
hard objects (car door , seat rails, etc.).
• Keep the child safety seat in a safe place when it is not in use. Do not place any
heavy objects on the seat and do not store it directly ne xt to sour ces of heat or in
direct sunlight.
