• The Maxi-Cosi Citi Side Protection System must only be used on a forward facing seat fitted with an
automatic or static 3-point seat belt, which is approved according to ECE R16 or an equivalent standard.
• Before purchasing the seat we recommend you check that it is compatible for use with the seat belt system in
your car.
• A baby can be very active. Do not be caught unawares by unexpected movements, and ALWAYS secure your
baby with the harness belt, also when using the Maxi-Cosi Citi Side Protection System out of the car. Do not
allow yourself to be distracted by your child while driving.
• The safety of the seat can only be guaranteed by the manufacturer when used by the original owner.
• We strongly advise you not to use a second-hand product, as you are never sure if the seat has been involved
in an accident or whether it has been otherwise damaged.
• After an accident your Maxi-Cosi Citi Side Protection System should be replaced. Although it may appear
undamaged, if you were to have another accident it would not protect your child as well as it should.
• It is advisable not to use car safety seats longer than 5 years after the date of purchase. Due to the ageing
process of the plastic for instance, the qualities of the product may have unnoticeably deteriorated.
• Under no circumstances may the moving parts of the Maxi-Cosi Citi Side Protection System be oiled or
greased.
• Ensure that all luggage /objects, on the parcel shelf for instance, likely to cause injury in the event of an
accident are properly secured.
• WARNING: Always return the instruction manual to the storage compartment at the back of the seat for future
reference.
• WARNING: Never leave your child unattended in the seat, either in or out of the car.
• WARNING: Do not place the Maxi-Cosi Citi Side Protection System on high surfaces, such as tables,
worktops, beds, etc., due to the "risk of falling".
Other Instructions
• When using the Maxi-Cosi Citi Side Protection System on the front seat, the car seat must always be placed in

position. Return the head rest to the correct position when the seat is used by another passenger.
• The seat must always be secured with a seat belt, even when not in use. An unsecured seat may injure other
passengers in the car in the event of an accident or emergency stop.
