Instructions for use
• When using the Maxi-Cosi Rodi Side Protection System on the front passenger seat, the car seat must ALWAYS
be placed in its most UPRIGHT POSITION.
• The Maxi-Cosi Rodi 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 Regulation No. 16 or an equivalent standard. DO
NOT use a 2-point seat belt, as this could be dangerous in the event of an accident or emergency stop.
• The Maxi-Cosi Rodi Side Protection System must not be used without the cover. The seat cover should not be
replaced with any cover other than the one supplied by the manufacturer, as the cover constitutes an integral
part of the restraint performance.
• Do not remove the foam parts of the headrest.
• No alterations may be made to the seat as this could affect part or the overall safety of the seat.
• After an accident the seat may be damaged and should be replaced.
• The manufacturer only guarantees the seat 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.
• The seat must always be secured with a seat belt, even when not in use. An unsecured seat may wound other
passengers in the car in the event of an accident or emergency stop.
• Ensure that all luggage and objects likely to cause injury in the event of an accident are properly secured.
• Adults not wearing seat belts can also be dangerous to a child in a car seat.
• Always check that the belt is pulled tight and any slack in the belt removed.
• Ensure that the seat is not damaged by wedging it between or underneath heavy luggage, adjustable seats or by
slamming the car door.
• The Maxi-Cosi Rodi Side Protection System may only be used as a child’s safety seat and is not intended for use
in-house.
Tips
• In hot weather the plastic parts may become hot to the touch. Cover the Maxi-Cosi Rodi Side Protection System
when the car is parked in the sun.
• For future use it is important that the instruction manual is kept with the seat at all times. Please store it in the space
provided underneath the seat.
• To avoid damage to the cover do not remove the Maxi-Cosi Rodi Side Protection System logo.
• Always use the seat, even on short journeys, as this is when most accidents occur.
• REMOVE the headrest of the passenger seat being used if it causes an obstruction for proper installation of the Maxi-
Cosi Rodi Side Protection System, but do not forget to refit the headrest after use.
• Before purchasing the seat we recommend you check that it is compatible for use with the seat belt system in your
car.
• NEVER leave your child unattended in the car.
• Set a good example yourself and always wear your seat belt.
• Tell your child that he/she must never play with the belt buckle.
• During long journeys make the occasional stop to allow your child to stretch his/her limbs.
