How to avoid damaging the vehicle
►
The vehicle’s sensitive seat covers may be damaged.
►
Use BRITAX RÖMER vehicle seat protectors. These are available
separately.
Risk of injury due to over-long belt lock
The position of the belt lock affects the protective function of the child
seat.
► Select a different vehicle seat if the seat belt lock is in or in front of
the dark-green belt guide.
► If in doubt contact your retailer.
Use in the vehicle
Risk of injury during use
The temperature in a vehicle can rise to dangerous levels quickly. In
addition, it is dangerous to step out of the vehicle from the side facing
the street.
►
Never leave a child unsupervised in the vehicle.
►
Only allow the child to board and disembark on the footpath-side.
►
On long journeys, take regular breaks in order to give your child
chance to move and play.
Risk of injury from slack straps
Slack straps are areas of the seat belt that lie loosely against the child’s
body. Slack straps have a negative impact on the protective function.
►
Check straps are tight and not twisted.
► Avoid thick clothing under the belt.
►
For seat belt with low retraction force: Do not use XP-PAD.

In the case of an emergency stop or accident, unsecured objects or
people may cause injury to other occupants in the vehicle.
►
Never secure your child by holding them tightly on your lap.

parcel shelf).

even if no child is being transported.
Risk of injury from unsecured child

diagonal belt into the SecureGuard, in the event of an emergency stop or
an accident there is a risk of serious or even fatal injuries.

Stop the vehicle safely as soon as this is possible.
► Ensure that the child seat is correctly fastened.
