Frequently Asked Questions - EXO JANE

How to install the EXO seat with the ISOFIX system?

Release the ISOFIX anchors by lifting the front tab of the base. Guide the anchors toward the vehicle's anchor points and push until you hear a click. Check that the green lights on the dashboard are on. Then, take out the Top Tether strap, hook it onto the designated anchor point, and tighten it until the red tension indicator disappears.

How to adjust the harness height?

Pull the ring on the headrest to unlock the adjustment. Move the headrest to the desired height (4 positions) until you hear a locking click. The straps should be slightly above the child's shoulders.

Can I install the seat on the front passenger seat?

Yes, provided the front airbag is deactivated. It is recommended to use rear seats. Never use on a seat with an active airbag.

What to do if the ISOFIX indicator stays red after installation?

If the indicator is red, the anchors are not properly fixed. Press the TEST button to verify. Disconnect the anchors, then reinstall making sure they snap in correctly. If the problem persists, consult the manual.

How to wash the EXO seat cover?

The cover is removable. First remove the removable parts (headrest, shoulder pads). Undo the cover edges and open the central velcro to remove the cover. Hand wash at 30°C maximum. Do not use bleach or tumble dry.

What type of batteries to use for the electronic ISOFIX detector?

Use 3 AA (LR6) batteries. Insert them respecting polarity. Do not mix new and used batteries, nor different types. Remove used batteries from the compartment.

Up to what weight can my child use the EXO seat?

The seat is approved for children from 9 kg to 18 kg (Group 1, approx. 9 months to 4 years). It must be installed forward-facing.

How to use the Top Tether strap?

Take the strap out of its bag at the back of the seat. Hook it onto a vehicle anchor point (see car manual). Tighten the strap until the tension indicator turns green (no more red). To disconnect, first loosen the strap.

What to do if the seat has been subjected to a severe impact in an accident?

JANE recommends replacing the EXO seat with a new one after a severe impact, even if no damage is visible. Safety cannot be guaranteed after an accident.

Is the EXO seat compatible with all vehicles?

The seat is of 'Universal' type and adaptable to most car seats with 3-point belts or ISOFIX anchors. Check compatibility in your vehicle's manual. Do not use with a 2-point belt.

Your new EXO from JANÉ is a seat designed to protect the child in the car from approximately 9 months (from 9 Kg. in weight) up to approximately 4 years old (18 Kg. in weight).

EXO has passed the safety requirements covered by the European directive ECE 44/04 for group 1.

EXO is compatible with the majority of vehicle seats. When the vehicle manufacturer has stated that the seats are prepared for the installation of "Universal" type seats, there is complete compatibility.

It is very important to read these instructions carefully before using the EXO seat for the first time. Make sure that everyone who is going to use the seat at any time is also familiar with the instructions for correct installation and use. It has been noted that a significant percentage of safety seat users do not install the seat correctly, understanding the instruction manuals and correctly applying the information is as important for safety as the actual seat.

Keep the instructions and the quick guide in the compartment on one side of the base, consult them if you have any doubts. You can also find them on our web page: www.jane.es

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

In the aim of suitably protecting the child and, ensuring his comfort and safety in the vehicle, it is important to respect the following instructions:

• Your EXO seat can be installed on the front seat, if it does not have an Air Bag, or on the back seat of the vehicle. It is advisable to install it on the back seat. If you fit it onto the front seat of the vehicle, it must NOT be fitted with an AIR BAG or it must be disconnected.
• It is only valid for vehicles fitted with automatic 3-point seat belts, certified under regulation ECE-16 or other equivalent regulations. DO NOT use with a 2-point seat belt.
• Not all safety systems are exactly the same, therefore we recommend you test your EXO in the vehicle in which it is going to be fitted.
• It is very important not to use second-hand products, since JANÉ can only guarantee complete safety for articles used by the original buyer.
• JANÉ recommends you replace your EXO seat with a new one when it has been subjected to significant strain after an accident.
• Check that all the seat belts are in the correct position and duly fitted to your EXO. Make sure that no seat belt is twisted. The child must understand that under no circumstances is he to play with the seat belts or the fastening elements.
• This seat is designed for use in the car and must not be used out of it.

Parts of your vehicle

1 Three-point fastening seat belt. Consisting of two distinguishable parts:

1a Sub-abdominal or shoulder part, that goes from the buckle over the chest and the shoulders

1b Abdominal part, this is the part that goes over the top of the legs

1c Buckle

2 Two-point fastening seat belt. WARNING. The EXO seat can not be installed with this type of seat belt.

3 ISOfix fasteners. The fasteners are situated at the intersection between the seat and the

backrest. Not all seats or all vehicles have these fasteners, consult your vehicle manual for more information.

4 Anti-rotation strap (Top tether). The manufacturer of your vehicle should have left some rings on the rear part of the seat to fasten the ISOfix anti-rotation system. Their location varies for each make and model, consult your vehicle manual to know where to find them.

Features of your EXO seat

The EXO seat has been designed with the latest advances in safety and comfort:

1. EXO can be installed with three-point seat belts or ISOfix fasteners.
2. If you use ISOfix, EXO has a tightening strap, "Top Tether" as an anti-rotation system.
3. The ISOfix fasteners are secured to the seat by a pneumatic piston, this unique and patented system absorbs the shock of impact.

4. The height of the shoulder straps can be adjusted without having to take the straps off. This action is connected to the headrest that gives greater protection in the event of a side impact while at the same time it supports the head.

5. If the shoulder straps are adjusted upwards, the crotch strap moves outwards. Therefore, as your child grows he will also have more space in the crotch area.

6. The abdominal straps are used to tighten the harness of your EXO, while the majority of seats use the shoulder straps to do this. This improves performance in the event of a collision and also gives a longer strap to install your child.
7. EXO incorporates electronic sensors to check that the ISOfix fasteners have been correctly installed. From time to time you should check that the fasteners are secured correctly.
8. If the seat has been installed with a three-point seat belt, EXO has a tensor. With this, the
9. If the shoulder straps are adjusted upwards, the crotch strap moves outwards. Therefore, as your child grows he will also have more space in the crotch area.
10. The abdominal straps are used to tighten the harness of your EXO, while the majority of seats use the shoulder straps to do this. This improves performance in the event of a collision and also gives a longer strap to install your child.
11. EXO incorporates electronic sensors to check that the ISOfix fasteners have been correctly installed. From time to time you should check that the fasteners are secured correctly.
12. If the seat has been installed with a three-point seat belt, EXO has a tensor. With this, the

car seat is firmly fastened to the vehicle seat.

1. The inside of the seat is covered with impact absorbing material. Although this material is only required on the head area, your EXO uses it on the whole surface that comes into contact with your child, even on the foot area.

2. The seat has plenty of air vents.

Installing the seat in the vehicle

The EXO seat should be installed FACING FORWARDS. Preferably on rear seats and never on seats that are fitted with a frontal airbag. If you want to install the seat with the ISOFIX fasteners, make sure that the vehicle seat is fitted with the fasteners.

WARNING. THE FACING FORWARDS POSITION IS COMPLETELY INADVISIBLE FOR BABIES THAT WEIGH LESS THAN 9 KG.
