[MIDI_I-SIZE_010] Take care not to damage the vehi-
cle's seatbelts, or the straps of the TAKATA MIDI
I-SIZE, with knives or other sharp objects. The
TAKATA MIDI I-SIZE cannot properly protect
children from injury if the straps have been cut or in
some way damaged.
[MIDI_I-SIZE_011] Using or disassembling the
TAKATA MIDI I-SIZE 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
TAKATA AG.
[MIDI_I-SIZE_012] After an accident, replace the
TAKATA MIDI I-SIZE seat and the TAKATA I-SIZE
BASE with a new TAKATA MIDI I-SIZE seat and a
new TAKATA I-SIZE BASE. Accidents can cause
damage to the TAKATA MIDI I-SIZE seat and the
TAKATA I-SIZE BASE 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.
[MIDI_I-SIZE_013] The TAKATA MIDI I-SIZE 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.
[MIDI_I-SIZE_014] Position the TAKATA MIDI
I-SIZE so that static parts (plastic elements, etc.) do
not get stuck in vehicle doors during normal use of the
vehicle.

putting the seat down somewhere).

Never leave your child in the TAKATA MIDI I-SIZE
(whether attended or not) on a raised, slanted or
uneven surface, such as a table, a baby-changing table,
steps or a ramp.
[MIDI_I-SIZE_016] Only use the TAKATA MIDI
I-SIZE with original covers, AIRPADS and side crash
pads. These are key safety components and have been
developed specially for use in the seat.
NOTE!
Do not leave your child sitting in the TAKATA MIDI
I-SIZE for too long. We recommend a limit of one to
two hours. It is very important for muscle develop-
ment that children regularly change their position. As
such, you should also remove your child from the
TAKATA MIDI I-SIZE when taking breaks.
NOTE!
The TAKATA MIDI I-SIZE should not be used for any
more than six 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 perform-
ance of the seat.
Should you have any other queries as to the use of this
product, please contact TAKATA customer services
(see Section 8 – Service).
