5. 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
protected. Therefore avoid putting thick clothes on your child under the belt.
• Take regular breaks on long journeys in order to give your child the opportu-
nity to play around.

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, e.g. that a 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 seat belts 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 12 , nothing must come between the back-
rest 12 and the seat cushion 09 . 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,
leather, 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.

6. ADJUSTING THE HEADREST
A correctly set headrest 22 ensures that the diagonal seat belt section 16 is
optimally positioned, and gives your child optimum protection. The headrest 22
must be adjusted so that there is a space two fingers wide between the
headrest 22 and your child's shoulders.
To adjust the height of the headrest to fit your child:
1. Reach into the adjustment handle 10 on the back of
the headrest 22 and pull it towards you. This unlocks
the headrest.
2. You can now move the unlocked headrest 22
tothedesired height. As soon as you release
theadjustment handle 10 , the headrest 22 will lock
into place.
3. Place the child safety seat on the vehicle seat.
4. Have your child sit down in the child safety seat
andcheck the height. Repeat the procedure until
theheadrest 22 has the correct height.
