Instructions for use | Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System

•Ensure that the seat is not damaged by wedging it between or underneath heavy luggage, adjustable seats or slamming the car door etc.

•No alterations may be made to the Maxi-Cosi Priori as this could affect part or the overall safety of the seat.

•In hot weather the plastic and metal parts of the Maxi-Cosi Priori may feel hot to the touch. You should therefore cover the seat if the car is parked in the sun.

•In order to prevent damage to the cover, do not remove the Maxi-Cosi Priori logo.

•Use the seat even on short journeys as this is when most accidents occur.

GB • Prior to purchase check that the seat fits properly in your car.

•Take short breaks on longer journeys so that your child has some freedom of movement.

•Set a good example yourself and always wear your seat belt.

•Tell your child that he/she should never play with the belt buckle.

Questions

Contact your supplier or importer if you wish to make a warranty claim or have any other questions (see address list on the back of the instruction manual).

The seat belt

The Maxi-Cosi Priori should be used with an automatic 3-point safety belt provided that this has been approved according to ECE R16 or an equivalent standard.

Do not use with a 2-point safety belt.

•Your Maxi-Cosi Priori can be fitted safely on almost all the seats in the car with the existing seat belts. However, on some seats the belts are fitted so far forward that proper installation is not possible. If this is the case, try another seat.

•In some cases the buckle of the car belt may be too long and therefore sits too high against the base of the Maxi-Cosi Priori. Thus, the Maxi-Cosi Priori cannot be fitted securely. If this is the case, choose another position in the car.

Four positions of the Maxi-Cosi Priori (A)

The Maxi-Cosi Priori may be used in four positions: Lift the handle under the front of the seat up and pull or push the shell forwards or backwards. Release the handle in the required position and push until you hear a distinct click.

Installing the Maxi-Cosi Priori with a 3-point safety belt (A-B)

When installing the car seat follow the installation instructions for the 3-point safety belt described above (under section "the seat belt").

A 3-point safety belt is shown in figure B.

Place the Maxi-Cosi Priori in the sleeping position (A) on the car seat. Thread the seat belt between the shell and base (B1).

Fasten the seat belt in the belt buckle (B1).

The lap belt now fits under the red hooks and the shoulder belt runs from the belt buckle directly diagonally upwards. Place the shoulder belt in the belt clamp on one side only (B2) and fasten it (B3-1). Note! The shoulder belt is now only attached on the side of the roll-up mechanism.

Push the Maxi-Cosi Priori firmly into the car seat and pull the shoulder belt tight (B3-2) so that there is no play between the car seat and the Maxi-Cosi Priori. Check this!

Placing your child in the Maxi-Cosi Priori (C)

Loosen the shoulder belts by pressing the release button and pulling the shoulder belts towards you (C1). Note! Do not pull on the belt pads.

Open the belt buckle (C2) and drape the belts over the hooks on the shell (C3).
