Warning Notes; Basic Instructions - TAKATA MAXI Manuel D'utilisation

WARNING NOTES:

[MAXI_004] Never leave your child unattended in the
vehicle.
[MAXI_005] Always seat your child in the MAXI
before the start of your journey – never during travel.
Never remove your child from the seat while the vehicle
is in motion.
[MAXI_006 + MAXI_007] Check that the seatbelt has
not become twisted, and that it lies snug to the shoulders
and lap, when fastening your child into the seat.
[MAXI_008] Ensure that the shoulder belt does not run
directly across your child's neck, to minimize the risk of
neck injuries. Adjust the height of the shoulder belt so
that it runs between the neck and the edge of the
shoulder.
Position the lap belt over your child's thighs to protect
the lower part of the body. If the lap belt runs across
your child's stomach, there is a risk of internal injuries in
the event of a crash.
Check that the top of your child's head is lower than the
top edge of the headrest. If the headrest is too low, there
is a greater risk of injury in the case of an accident. At
the same time, the shoulder belt guide should be no
more than two Þ nger widths above the child's shoulder.
[MAXI_046] Always ensure that the side crash pads are
positioned correctly in the inner pockets of the shoulder
wing and headrest covers. Failure to observe this notice
may seriously risk your child's safety in the event of an
accident.
[MAXI_009] Secure your MAXI in place whenever it is
in the vehicle, regardless of whether a child is using it.
This prevents the seat from ß ying forwards in an
accident or when braking sharply.
[MAXI_010] Take care not to damage the vehicle's
seatbelt with knives or other sharp objects. The MAXI
cannot properly protect children from injury if the belt
has been cut or in some way compromised.
[MAXI_011] Using the MAXI in any way other than
described in these instructions can cause serious injury.
Do not remove any components or replace them with
parts that have not been approved by Joyson Safety
Systems Aschaffenburg GmbH.

[MAXI_012] After an accident, replace the MAXI with
a new seat. Accidents can cause damage to the seat that
may not be visible to the naked eye. Failure to observe
this notice may seriously risk your child's safety in the
event of an accident.
[MAXI_013] The MAXI can heat up when placed in
direct sunlight. To prevent burns, ensure that an adult
checks all plastic and metal parts of the seat before use.
[MAXI_014] Position the MAXI so that static parts
(plastic elements, etc.) do not get stuck under moving
seats or in vehicle doors during normal use of the
vehicle.
[MAXI_015] Do not leave any sharp, pointy or heavy
objects around the vehicle. In the case of an accident,
these objects may ß y around the cabin, injuring children
and adults. Luggage and other potentially dangerous
items should also be secured in place.
Never leave your child in the MAXI (whether attended
or not) on a raised, slanted or uneven surface, such as a
table, a baby-changing table, steps or a ramp.
[MAXI_016] Only use the MAXI with original covers
and original side crash pads. These are key safety
components and have been developed specially for use
in the seat.
NOTE!
The MAXI should not be used for any more than nine
years after purchase. Plastics deteriorate generally
over time, particularly when exposed to direct
sunlight. This deterioration is not always visible to the
naked eye, and can compromise the performance of
the seat.
Should you have any other queries as to the use of this
product, please contact our Customer services (see
Section 9 – Service).
