Carefully read the instructions before installing the seat in your car and always keep these instructions to hand in the designated user guide storage compartment (a). IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Without the approval of the Type Approval Authority, the child seat may not be modied or added to in any way.

In order to keep your child properly protected, it is absolutely essential that you use the child seat as described in this manual.

This child seat may only be installed on vehicle seats which are approved for the use of child restraint systems according to the vehicle manual.

Only suitable for vehicle seats with automatic three-point belts approved in accordance with UN Regulation No. 16 or a comparable standard.

Do not use any load bearing contact points other than those described in the instructions and marked on the child restraint.

The full surface of the backrest of the child seat must make contact with the backrest of the vehicle.

The shoulder belt must run upwards and back at a recline. It must never run forward to the upper belt point in your vehicle.

The vehicle belt buckle must never cross the belt guide of the seat. If the belt whip is too long, the child seat is not suitable for use in this position in the vehicle. In case of doubt please contact the child restraint manufacturer.

The three-point vehicle belt must only be passed through the designated routings. The belt routings are described in detail in this manual and are marked in red on the child seat.

The lap belt must run as low as possible across your child’s groin to have optimum e󰀨ect in the event of an accident. Before each use make sure that the automatic three-point vehicle belt is correctly adjusted and ts tightly to the child’s body. Never twist the belt!

Only an optimally adjusted headrest can o󰀨er your child maximum protection and comfort while ensuring that the shoulder belt can be tted smoothly.

For usage in Group 1 the impact shield must be used.

The child seat must always be secured correctly with the vehicle belt in the vehicle even when not in use.

Always ensure that the child seat is never jammed when closing the car door or adjusting the back seat.

Luggage or any other objects present in the vehicle must always be rmly secured. Otherwise, they may be thrown within the car, which could cause fatal injuries.

The child seat must never be used without the seat cover. Ensure that only an original CYBEX seat cover is used, as the cover is a key element of the seat’s function.

Never leave your child unattended in the car.

The parts in the child restraint system heat up in the sun and could potentially burn your child’s skin. Protect your child and the child seat from direct sun exposure.

An accident may cause damage to the child seat that is not identiable with the naked eye. Please replace the seat after an accident. In case of doubt, please consult your dealer or the manufacturer.

Do not use this child seat for more than 11 years. The child seat is exposed to high stress during its product life span, which leads to changes in the quality of the material with increasing age.

The plastic parts can be cleaned with a mild cleaning agent and warm water. Never use harsh cleaning agents or bleaches!

Some vehicle seats are made of sensitive materials. The use of child seats may leave marks and/or cause discolouration. To prevent this, you can place a blanket or towel or similar underneath the child seat to protect the vehicle seat.6

THE CORRECT POSITION IN THE VEHICLE

The child seat with stored latch-connect-system can be used on all vehicle seats with automatic three-point safety belts approved in the vehicle manual for “universal” use. A “semi-universal” certication is given to restraint systems that are connected to the car through the latch-connect-system. For this reason, the latch-connect- system can only be used in certain vehicles. Please refer to the enclosed vehicle type list for approved vehicles. You can obtain the most up-to-date version from www.cybex-online.com. Above a child’s stature of 135 cm, the compatibility between the Pallas B-Fix and your vehicle might be reduced. Please review the vehicle type list to check whether the child seat can be used in all headrest positions without restrictions. In exceptional cases, the child car seat may also be used on the front passenger seat. Always comply with the recommendations of the vehicle manufacturer. INSTALLING THE CHILD SEAT IN THE VEHICLE
