• No alterations may be made to the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System as this could affect part or the overall
safety of the seat.
• In hot weather the plastic and metal parts of the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System may feel hot to the touch.
You should therefore cover the seat if the car is parked in the sun.
• In order to prevent damage to the cover, do not remove the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System logo.
• Use the seat even on short journeys as this is when most accidents occur.
• Prior to purchase check that the seat fits properly in your car.
• Take short breaks on longer journeys so that your child has some freedom of movement.
• Set a good example yourself and always wear your seat belt.
• Tell your child that he/she should never play with the belt buckle.
Questions
Contact your supplier or importer if you wish to make a warranty claim or have any other questions (see address list
on the back of the instruction manual).
The seat belt
The Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System should be used with an automatic 3-point safety belt provided that this
has been approved according to ECE R16 or an equivalent standard. Do not use with a 2-point safety belt.
• Your Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System can be fitted safely on almost all the seats in the car with the existing
seat belts. However, on some seats the belts are fitted so far forward that proper installation is not possible. If this is
the case, try another seat.
• In some cases the buckle of the car belt may be too long and therefore sits too high against the base of the Maxi-Cosi
Priori Side Protection System. Thus, the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System cannot be fitted securely. If this is
the case, choose another position in the car.
Four positions of the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System (A)
The Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System may be used in four positions: Lift the handle under the front of the seat
up and pull or push the shell forwards or backwards. Release the handle in the required position and push until you
hear a distinct click.
Installing the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System with a 3-point safety belt (A-B)
• When installing the car seat follow the installation instructions for the 3-point safety belt described above (under
section "the seat belt").
• A 3-point safety belt is shown in figure B.
• Place the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System in the sleeping position (A) on the car seat.
• Thread the seat belt between the shell and base (B1).
• Fasten the seat belt in the belt buckle (B1).
• The lap belt now fits under the red hooks and the shoulder belt runs from the belt buckle directly diagonally
upwards. Place the shoulder belt in the belt clamp on one side only (B2) and fasten it (B3-1). Note! The shoulder
belt is now only attached on the side of the roll-up mechanism.
• Push the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System firmly into the car seat and pull the shoulder belt tight (B3-2) so
that there is no play between the car seat and the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System. Check this!
Placing your child in the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System (C)
• Loosen the shoulder belts by pressing the release button and pulling the shoulder belts towards you (C1).
•
Note! Do not pull on the belt pads.
• Open the belt buckle (C2) and drape the belts over the hooks on the shell (C3).
• Position your child comfortably with his/her back against the shell (C4) and make sure that there are no toys or
