Frequently Asked Questions - Transformer iTech JANE

How to install the Transformer iTech seat with the TWINFIX system?

Place the seat forward-facing on the vehicle seat equipped with ISOFIX anchors. Pull the TWINFIX adapters forward and click them into the anchors until you hear a click (green indicators). Pull the tension strap to stabilize the seat. Important: TWINFIX is a supplement; the seat must always be secured with the vehicle's three-point belt.

How to adjust the headrest height?

Press the size adjustment button (04) located at the back of the backrest while holding it down, then raise or lower the headrest (01) to the desired position. Release the button to lock. The shoulder belt guide must be slightly above the child's shoulder.

How to wash the seat cover?

Remove the cover starting with the headrest, then the backrest, and finally the shoulder pads. Before washing, take out the polystyrene foam from the pockets. Hand wash the cover without solvent and air dry. Never put the cover in the dryer.

What is the recommended child height range?

This seat is designed for children measuring 100 to 150 cm, i.e., approximately 3 to 12 years old. It is an enhanced i-Size booster seat with backrest.

Can I use the seat without the cover?

No, the cover is an integral part of the safety system. The seat must always be used with its original cover. Never replace the cover with one not approved by JANE.

What to do after an accident involving the seat?

After an accident, the seat must be replaced as it may have suffered invisible stress. Send it to the manufacturer with an accident report. Never reuse a seat that has been involved in an accident.

Can I use non-original accessories on the seat?

Use of accessories or parts other than original JANE parts is not permitted. This voids the warranty and compromises safety. Only special JANE accessories are allowed.

How to properly secure my child with the three-point belt?

Place the child well seated in the seat. Route the three-point belt in front of the child and buckle it. Thread the lap and diagonal belt through the belt guides (03) and the shoulder belt through the guide (06). Tighten the belt so it is snug and without twists. The belt should sit as low as possible on the hips.

What types of vehicles are compatible with the TWINFIX system?

The TWINFIX system is compatible with vehicles equipped with ISOFIX anchors and listed in the 'Car Fitting List' brochure supplied with the seat. For an updated list, visit www.janeworld.com. Always check compatibility before installation.

How to remove the seat from the vehicle?

Press the button (09) to release the TWINFIX strap, then pull the seat forward. Press the safety buttons of the TWINFIX adapters (10) until the indicators turn red, then disengage the seat from the ISOFIX anchors. Then store the adapters by pulling on the TWINFIX strap.

We are delighted that you have chosen a quality JANÉ-CONCORD product. You are sure to be convinced by this product's versatility and safety. We hope you enjoy using your new TRANSFORMER.

\_INFORMATION

ATTENTION!

• Please read the instructions for use thoroughly before using the
  TRANSFORMER and keep them carefully for later reference.
  If you do not follow the instructions listed in this manual the child's safety may be at risk!
  Please also note the instructions in the car's operating manual for transporting children in a car.

WARNING!

• Do not leave your child unattended.
• Children sometimes have items in their jacket or trouser pockets (e.g. toy) or wear hard items that are attached to their clothes (e.g. belt buckle).
  Make sure that these items do not get between the child and the safety belt – they could cause unnecessary injuries in the event of an accident.
  These hazards also apply to adults!

- Naturally children can often be very lively. You should therefore explain to children how important it is to always be safely fastened in. Children must understand that they should never change the way the belts are positioned, and never open the buckle.

- Only if safety equipment is correctly installed and used can your child enjoy maximum safety.

- Not all child restraint system are exactly the same, therefore we advise you to test your TRANSFORMER in the vehicle in which it is going to be installed.

- Any alteration or addition made to the device without explicit authorisation from JANÉ-CONCORD may seriously affect the safety of the restraint system.

- Read these instructions carefully before use and keep them for future reference. The child's safety may be affected if you do not follow these instructions. For the child to travel safely in the car you also need to check the relevant points of the vehicle instruction manual.

- This safety device must not be used without its cover, and the cover must not be

replaced with one that is not the original, as it is an integral part of the system's safety features.

• Never add a mattress, pillow or extra padding to make the child more comfortable as this would alter the safety features of the system.
• The system straps must be fitted tautly and without twists and must be protected against damage.
• Protect those parts of the TRANSFORMER that are not covered in fabric from direct sunlight to avoid your child being burned.
• It is very important not to use second hand products, because JANÉ-CONCORD can only guarantee complete safety for articles used by the original buyer.
• These instructions must be followed carefully for the correct use of the restraint system; failure to do so may put the child's safety at risk.
• The child restraint system must not be damaged or trapped by moving parts in the car or by doors.
• Never modify the TRANSFORMER in any way – this will endanger your child’s safety.
• After an accident the TRANSFORMER must be replaced or returned to the manufacturer for testing, along with a report of the accident.
• You should also tell your passenger how to remove the child in the event of an accident or danger.
• Do not leave your child in the child car seat unsupervised whether strapped in or

not.

• Secure any luggage or other objects to reduce the risk of injuries in the event of an accident.
• The instruction manual should always be kept with the safety seat.
• The use of accessories and replacement parts is not permissible and shall lead, in the event of contravention, to the expiry of all claims under the warranty and of all liability claims. Only special JANÉ-CONCORD original accessories are excluded.
• Suitable for cars with three-point (lap and diagonal) seat belts tested in accordance with ECE Regulation 16 or a comparable standard.
• WARNING: Make sure you are aware of the road traffic legislation of the country in which you are driving. The use of your child restraint system may be restricted.

The buckle of the vehicle safety belt must not come above the edge of the lap belt guide. If in doubt or if you are still uncertain, please contact JANÉ-CONCORD. The belts may only be routed via the points of contact and the positions on the seat stated in the user instructions. Belts must not be routed in any other way.

If the car seat used has a front airbag, we recommend positioning the car seat as far back as possible. For cars with front and side airbags, the instructions in the car's operating manual must also be observed. The car's shoulder/diagonal belt must pass forwards from the vehicle bracket to the shoulder belt guide (06). Adjust the car seat position if necessary.

\_ USING THE TRANSFORMER

You have decided to purchase our TRANSFORMER seat for the safety of your child.

This product is manufactured under strict quality controls. It can only effectuate its maximum safety properties if it is used properly.

The upholstery is an important part and it affects the seat as a whole, therefore the car seat must only be used with the original cover!

You should therefore ensure that you follow the instructions for fitting and use carefully.

The seat may be used on any seat in your car that is fitted with a three-point seat belt.

Statistics suggest that the place behind the passenger seat is the safest in the car.

\_ INSTALLING THE TRANSFORMER

Place the TRANSFORMER on the car seat or bench seat, facing in the direction of travel.

The TRANSFORMER should lie flush with the seat. In cars with standard headrests, these may be adjusted or removed to make it easier to install the child car seat. 1.a

Please note that the car headrests must be replaced and re-positioned correctly when an adult is travelling in the car. 1.b

Pull the belt taut so that the lap belt and diagonal belt are well positioned and ensure that the belts are not twisted. The lap belt should be in the lowest possible position. If your vehicle is fitted with a seat belt height adjuster, adjust its height accordingly.
