Care for the harness buckle
It is vital for the safety of your child that the harness buckle works correctly. Malfunctions
of the harness buckle are usually caused by accumulations of dirt or foreign bodies.
Malfunctions include the following:
• 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 difcult 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.

child safety seat may be damaged without the damage becoming immediate-
ly visible. In this case the child safety seat must be replaced. Please dispose
of it properly.
•Have your child safety seat checked as a rule if it was damaged (e.g if it
falls to the ground).

parts, in particular, are fully functional.

as long as it is not in use.The child safety seat can become very hot under
direct sun radiation. Child skin is sensitive and could thereby be injured.
• The more snugly the harness ts over your child's body, the better your child 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 when removed from the child seat.
• Use on the rear seat: Push the front seat forwards sufciently so that the
feet of your child cannot hit the backrest of the front seat (to avoid the risk
of injury).

In the case of an emergency stop or an accident, unsecured persons or
objects may cause injury to other vehicle occupants. Please always check

and the seat base 06 . You or your child could pinch your ngers, 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 if 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

CAUTION! To protect your vehicle:
• Certain car seat covers made from more sensitive materials (e.g. velour, leath-
