5. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Care for the harness buckle
It is vital for the safety of your child that the harness buckle works correctly. Malfun-
ctions of the harness buckle are usually caused by accumulations of dirt or foreign
bodies. Malfunctions are as follows:
• The buckle latches are ejected only slowly when the red release button is pressed.
• The buckle latches will no longer lock home (i.e. they are ejected again if you try to
push them in).
• The buckle latches engage without an audible „click“.
• The buckle latches are difficult to insert (you feel resistance).
• The buckle only opens if extreme force is applied.
Remedy
wash out the harness buckle so that it functions properly once again:
Cleaning the harness buckle
1.
Open the harness buckle 21 (press the red button).
2.
Open the Velcro fastener on the crotch pad 32 and take off the crotch pad from the
cover.
3.
Put the seat shell into the recline position
4.
Grasp the metal plate 33 from underneath and turn it into a vertical position
5.
Slide the metal plate 33 through the slot 34
6.
Remove the harness buckle 21
7.
Soak the harness buckle 21 in warm water with dishwashing liquid for at least an
hour. Then rinse and dry it thoroughly.
Cleaning
Please be sure to use only genuine Britax/RÖMER replacement seat covers, as the
seat cover is an integral part of the child safety seat which plays an important role in
ensuring that the system works properly. Replacement seat covers are available from
your retailer.

in your vehicle owner’s manual.

1. GENERAL SAFETY NOTES
Take the time to carefully read through these instructions, and always
keep them ready to hand in the designated pocket on the child seat.
For the protection of all vehicle occupants
In the case of an emergency stop or an accident, persons or objects which
are not properly secured in the car can cause injury to other vehicle occu-
pants. For this reason, please always check that...
• the backrests of the vehicle seats are locked (e.g. that the latch on a fol-
ding rear seat bench 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 in the car via the ISOFIX anchoring
and the Top Tether or the 3-point belt (vehicle belt), even when there is no
child in the seat
.
For the protection of your child
• The more snugly the harness fits over your child‘s body, the safer your
child will be.
• Please do not ever leave your child unattended in the child safety seat in
the vehicle.
• 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).
• The child safety seat can get hot in direct sunshine. Caution: Children‘s
skin is delicate and could be injured as a result. Protect the child
seat against intensive direct sunlight when it is not currently in use.
• Only allow your child to enter and exit the vehicle on the pavement side.
• Make stops during longer journeys to give your child an opportunity to run
about and play.
To protect your vehicle
Some vehicle seat coverings made of more delicate materials (e.g. velour,
leather, etc.) may develop wear marks when child seats are used. For opti-
mum protection of your seat covers, we recommend using the BRITAX RÖ-
MER Car Seat Protector, which is available from our range of accessories.
