The reclining headrest helps to prevent the child’s head from dangerously tipping forward
during sleep. In the event of a collision, the headrest will follow the movement of your
child’s head forwards, lock into place and absorb the subsequent backwards motion of
your child’s head.
The recline angle of the headrest can be set to one of three positions. It can be moved
forward without moving the lever to the second or third position until the rest locks into
position. To return it to the original position, the lever must be operated and the headrest
pulled back.
NOTE!
Ensure that your child’s head is always in contact with the reclining headrest
(19)
,
as this is the only way that the headrest can provide optimum protection in case of side
collisions.
RECLINING HEADREST
To ensure that your child seat provides maximum protection, it is imperative that you note
the following:
CARE & MAINTENANCE
• All major parts of the child seat should be checked regularly for damage. The
mechanical components must be free of defects.
• It is absolutely necessary to ensure that the child seat is not jammed between hard
elements such as the vehicle door or seat rail, which could potentially damage it.
• When exposed to extreme shock, e.g. after a crash, the child seat must be checked by
the manufacturer.
Ensure that only an original CYBEX seat cover is used, as the cover is a key element of the
seat’s function. Spare covers can be obtained from a specialist retailer.
WARNING!
Never block the locking mechanism
(20)
! In the event of an accident,
the recline adjustment mechanism must move smoothly, or else your child may be
injured!
