11. USING THE BAB Y INSERT
6. SAFETY NO TES
Please take the time to r ead these instructions carefully and keep them
to hand in the intended oper ating instructions compar tment
17 on the
child safety seat at all times. The instructions must be kept with the child
safety seat if the latter is passed on to a third party .
In order for the DUALFIX i-SIZE to pr otect your child correctly, it must al-
ways be installed and used exactly as described in these instructions. It is
possible that some of the child safety seat settings will lead to restrictions
when used in "i-Size" vehicle seat positions.
DANGER! F or the protection of your child:
• In the event of an accident with a collision speed of more than 10km/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 has been 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 safety seat.
•
Never leave your child unattended in the child safety seat in the vehicle.
• Only allow your child to enter and e xit the vehicle on the pavement side.
• Pr otect 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. Children's skin is
sensitive and could be harmed as a result.
•
The more snugly the belt fi ts over your child's body, the better they will be pro-
tected. Ther efore, avoid putting thick clothes on your child under the belt.
• T ake regular breaks on long journeys in order t o give your child the opportu-
nity to run about and play .
• Use on the rear seat: Move the front seat far enough forwards t o ensure that
your child's feet cannot hit the backrest of the front seat (t o prevent the risk of
injury).
DANGER! F or the protection of all vehicle occupants:
In the case of an emergency stop or an accident, unsecur ed persons or objects
may cause injury to other vehicle occupants. Please always check that ...
• no other load-bearing contact points are used other than those specifi ed in
these instructions and marked out on the child safety seat.
• the backrests of the vehicle seats are locked (e.g. that a folding r ear 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 seatbelts fastened.
• the child safety seat is always secured when it is in the vehicle, even if no child
is being transport ed.
WARNING! F or your protection when handling the child seat:
• Never use the child safety seat free-standing, not even for test sitting.
•
T o avoid damage, ensure that the child safety seat is not jammed in between
hard objects (vehicle 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 dir ectly next to sources of heat or
in direct sunlight.
CAUTION! F or the prot ection of your vehicle:
• Certain vehicle seat covers made from more sensitive mat erials (e.g. velour,
leather) may sustain signs of wear and tear when using child safety seats. F or
optimum protection of your vehicle seat covers, we r ecommend using the
BRIT AX RÖMER vehicle seat prot ector from our range of accessories.
P A GE II
1. If your vehicle is not fi tted with ISOFIX insertion aids as standard, clamp
the two insertion aids 02 , which are included in the scope of delivery of
the seat*, with the opening pointing upwards, to the two ISOFIX fast ening
points 01 of your vehicle.
TIP! The ISOFIX fastening points are locat ed between the surface and the
backrest of the vehicle seat.
2. Move the headrest of the vehicle seat into the t op position.
* The insertion aids facilitate the installation of the child safety seat with the use of the
ISOFIX fastening points and prevent damage t o the vehicle seat covers. As long as they
are not used, remove them and keep them in a safe place. F or vehicles with a folding
backrest, the insertion aids need to be r emoved before folding the backrest. Any prob-
lems occurring usually come from soiling or ext ernal objects on the insertion aids and
on the hook. Remove soiling or external objects t o rectify such problems.
