User manual CYBEX SOLUTION X-FIX

[. . . ] THE BEST POSITION IN THE CAR Without using the connectors the CYBEX Solution X-fix can be installed on all vehicle seats equipped with a three-point automatic retractor belt. We generally recommend, however, using the child seat in the back of the vehicle. In the front, your child is usually exposed to higher risks in case of an accident. You must not use the Solution X-fix with a two-point belt or a lap belt. [. . . ] - Release the connectors (w) by pushing the green security buttons (x) and by pulling back the orange release buttons (y). - Pull the X-fix lever located at the bottom of the child car seat and push the X-fix connectors into the child seat until completely hidden. Following these steps the vehicle`s seat pad will be protected and the Isofix connectors will be prevented from being stained or damaged. SECURING THE CHILD Place the child seat on the respective seat in the car. ­ Please make sure that the backrest (a) of the child safety seat rests flat against the backrest of the car seat so that the child seat is under no circumstances in a sleeping position. ­ When using the ISOFIX-anchorages in the car, make sure that the backrest of the Solution X-fix is perfectly aligned and in full contact with the rear vehicle seat. The position can be adjusted with the adjustment lever (v) located on the bottom of the child car seat. ­ Should the headrest of the vehicle seat interfere, please pull it out completely and turn it around or take it off entirely. The backrest of the Solution X-fix should rest flat against the upright part of the car seat. Pushing the booster rearwards the seat should be tightly pressed against the seat. For the best possible protection of your child, the seat must be in a normal upright position!To avoid this, you should put a blanket or a towel underneath the child seat. FASTENING THE SEATBELT OF YOUR CHILD Put your child in the child seat. Pull out the three-point belt and lead it in front of your child to the belt buckle (l). Now pull the lap belt (n) tight by pulling the diagonal belt (f) until there is no slack. The diagonal belt and lap belt should both be inserted in the bottom belt guide at the side of the belt buckle. The belt buckle of the car seat (l) must under no circumstances reach into the bottom belt guide (k). If the belt strap is too long, the child seat is not suitable for this vehicle. The lap belt (n) should be placed in the bottom belt guides (k) on both sides of the seat (d). Teach your child from the beginning to always pay attention to a tight belt and that it should pull the belt tight by itself if necessary. The lap belt must, on both sides, run as low across the groin of your child as possible in order to take optimal effect in case of an accident. Now lead the diagonal belt (f) through the upper red belt guide (g) in the shoulder rest (e) until it is inside the belt guide. [. . . ] In this case, the child seat must absolutely be examined by the manufacturer and replaced if necessary. DURABILITY OF THE PRODUCT The CYBEX Solution X-fix was designed to easily fulfill its purpose for the expected durability (adding up to 9 years). However, since high fluctuations of temperature might occur and since there might be unforeseeable exposures to the child seat, it is important to note the following: ­ If the car is exposed to direct sunlight for a longer period of time, the child seat must be taken out of the car or covered with a cloth. ­ Examine all plastic and metal parts of the seat for any damages or changes about their form or colour on a yearly basis.
