3.0 Safety instructions
WARNINGS
Please take a few minutes to read this instruction manual in order to ensure the proper security of your
child. Many injuries that are easy to avoid are caused by reckless and improper usage of the car seat.
• The car seat is designed to be mounted only on forward facing car seats. The car seat must not be
installed on rearward facing or side facing seats. The car seat must always be attached to the base or
secured with the three-point car seat belt (fig. A.4).
• A car seat MUST NOT be placed on seats with an active front air-bag as this could be dangerous. This
does not apply to the side air-bags (fig. A.5).
• If the car seat is installed in the front seat, the front air-bag must be deactivated. It is recommended
to install the car seat only on the back seats of the car. Please refer to your vehicle operating manual
for information on the suitability of the seat for use with a car seat.
• Remember that the internal safety harness holding the child should be adapted to the child's body
shape and not twisted. For this reason, child should not wear thick clothes under the safety harness.
• The car seat should be replaced when it has been subjected to violent stresses during a traffic
accident.
• The car seat may not be modified in any way without the approval of the relevant approval authority.
Failure to install the car seat in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions may pose a threat to
life and health.
• Protect the car seat from direct sunlight, otherwise your child may be burnt by heated parts. Protect
your child and car seat from sunlight.
• Never leave your child unattended in the car seat.
• Make sure that luggage and other objects are adequately secured, in particular on the shelf under
the rear window, as they can cause injuries in the event of a collision.

• The car seat cannot be used without the cover.
• Do not use replacement covers, other than those recommended by the manufacturer, as the
cover is an integral part of the safety system of the car seat.
• Do not use any other attachment points than those described in the instruction manual and
marked on the car seat.
• All hard parts and plastic parts of a car seat must be positioned and installed in a way that
prevents them from being trapped by a sliding seat or vehicle door under normal vehicle operating
conditions.
• Regularly check the technical condition of the car seat, pay special attention to the fixing points,
seams and adjusting elements. It is important to ensure that all mechanical elements are fully
operational. Never grease or oil parts of the car seat.
• Do not use the car seat if its parts are damaged or loose.
• In the event of an emergency, it is important to quickly unfasten the seat belts. This means that
the release button of the safety harness is not fully secured; make sure your child does not play
with the safety harness.
• Set a good example for your child and wear your seat belt at all times. An adult who is not
fastened with seat belts can also pose a threat to a child.
• Make sure that the car seat is correctly fastened before each journey in the car.
• The car seat must be secured at all times, even when not in use. The car seat that is not fastened
can injure the passengers even during emergency braking.
• The car seats may leave marks and/or discolouration on some vehicle seats made of delicate
materials. To prevent this from happening, you can place a blanket, towel or similar product under
the car seat.
IMPORTANT! READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
