SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING THE INSTAL-
LATION. IF THE SEAT IS NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY, YOUR CHILD’S SAFETY MAY BE
AT RISK.
DO NOT USE THIS CHILD SEAT ON A PASSENGER SEAT FITTED WITH AN
AIR BAG!
The seat may be installed in a front-facing or rear-facing position with a 3-point safety
belt to UN/ECE No.16 standard or equivalent. Do not use it on side-facing or rear-facing
seats. Always remember to fasten and correctly adjust the child’s harness and never
start the car without first checking that the seat is properly fixed to the passenger seat as
shown in these instructions. It is important to check that the straps of the seat belt are fully
tightened and that the harness lap strap is positioned as low as possible to support your
child’s pelvis. Check that the seat belt and harness straps are not twisted. For maximum
protection, there must be no slack between the car seat and the passenger seat. Please
refer to the method recommended in these instructions. The seat must not be modified
in any way and no elements should be added. It is recommended that you replace this
car seat if it has been subjected to a severe impact following an accident or in case of
wear. You should regularly check that the harness is not showing signs of wear; check in
particular the harness points, the seams and the adjustment devices. Never leave your
child unattended in the seat. Check that no part of the seat is trapped in the door or in a
fold-down passenger seat. If your car has a fold-down rear seat, check that it is correctly
locked in the vertical position. Direct exposure to the sun increases the temperature
inside vehicles. For this reason, you are advised to cover the child’s car seat when not
in use in order to prevent the elements, in particular the fixations, from getting hot and
burning the child. Do not use your car seat without its cover and only replace it with a
cover that has been recommended by the manufacturer. In an emergency, the child must
be able to be freed quickly. The buckle, which can be easily opened, must therefore not
be covered. Teach your child not to play with the buckle. Always remember to check that
there are no scraps of food or other remains in either the harness buckle or the central
adjuster. Luggage and other heavy or sharp objects must be fixed down in the car. Ob-
jects that are not attached may injure a child in the event of an accident. In winter, make
sure that the child is not wearing over-bulky clothes.
