7. SAFETY NOTES
Please take the time to read these instructions carefully and keep
them to hand in the intended storage compartment
13
on the child
safety seat at all times! The instructions must be with the child safety
seat if the latter is passed on to a third party.
DANGER! For the protection of your child:
• In the event of an accident with a collision speed of more than 10 km/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.
•
As a rule, have your child safety seat checked if it was 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 exit the vehicle on the pavement side.
• Protect the child safety seat from intensive direct sunlight when it is not in
use. The child safety seat can get very hot in direct sunshine. Child skin is
sensitive and could thereby be harmed.
•
The more snugly the belt fits over your child's body, the better they will be pro
-
tected. Therefore avoid putting thick clothes on your child under the belt.
• Take regular breaks on long journeys in order to give your child the oppor-
tunity to play around.
• Use on the rear seat: Move the front seat forward far enough that you
child's feet cannot hit the backrest of the front seat (to prevent risk of
injury).
DANGER! For the protection of all vehicle occupants:
In the case of an emergency stop or an accident, unsecured persons or
objects may cause injury to other vehicle occupants. Please always check
that...
• the backrests of the vehicle seats are locked (i.e. that any foldable rear
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 seatbelts fastened.
• the child safety seat is always secured when it is in the vehicle, even if no
child is being transported.
WARNING! For your protection when handling the child seat:
• Never use the child safety seat free-standing, not even for test sitting.
• When swivelling up the backrest 16 , nothing must come between the
backrest 16 and the seat cushion 10 . You or your child could pinch your
fingers, injuring them.
• To 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 next to sources of
heat or in direct sunlight.
CAUTION!
To protect your vehicle:
• Certain car seat covers made from more sensitive materials (e.g. velour, leath-
er, etc.) may sustain signs of wear and tear when using child safety seats. For
optimum protection of your car seat covers, we recommend using the BRITAX
RÖMER car seat protector from our range of accessories.

A correctly set headrest 14 ensures that the diagonal seat belt section 18 is
optimally positioned, and gives your child optimum protection.
