Dear parents

Congratulations on the purchase of your Maxi-Cosi Citi Side Protection System. Safety, comfort and
userfriendliness have at all times played an important role in the development of the Maxi-Cosi Citi Side Protection
System. This product meets the most stringent safety regulations.

Research shows that a high number of car safety seats are incorrectly installed. Therefore, please take the time to
read through the instruction manual carefully and ensure any other persons who will be using this product also do
so. The Maxi-Cosi Citi Side Protection System offers maximum safety only when it is used in accordance with the
instructions.

Continuous research by our development team, user tests and consumer reactions ensure that we are kept fully up
to date in the field of child safety. Therefore, if you have any questions concerning the use of the Maxi-Cosi Citi
Side Protection System, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Dorel (see the back of the instruction manual for address and telephone number)

Important

• Please read these user instructions carefully.

• WARNING: Keep the user instructions for future reference.

• Please look carefully at the illustrations in the manual. The Maxi-Cosi Citi Side Protection System offers
maximum protection only if it is used in accordance with the instructions.

• Correct threading of the seat belt with the lap section under the two blue hooks on the sides and the shoulder
belt section through the blue belt hook on the back, is essential to ensure the safety of your child. See figures
H1 to H5 or the sticker on the side of the Maxi-Cosi Citi Side Protection System.

• The Maxi-Cosi Citi Side Protection System is approved in accordance with the most stringent European safety
standards (ECE R44/04) and is suitable for children from 0 - 13 kg (from birth to approximately 12 months old).

• The Maxi-Cosi Citi Side Protection System may be used on the front or rear passenger seat, but always in a
rearward facing position. Do not use a child safety seat if the vehicle is equipped with a front airbag. This
can be dangerous. This does not apply to-called side airbags. When using the Maxi-Cosi Citi Side Protection
System on a collapsible rear seat, the rear seat must always be locked.

EXI0280_Citi_SPS_I_BW:- 21-07-2009 10:57 Pagina 8

• The Maxi-Cosi Citi Side Protection System must only be used on a forward facing seat fitted with an
automatic or static 3-point seat belt, which is approved according to ECE R16 or an equivalent standard.

• Before purchasing the seat we recommend you check that it is compatible for use with the seat belt system in
your car.

• A baby can be very active. Do not be caught unawares by unexpected movements, and ALWAYS secure your
baby with the harness belt, also when using the Maxi-Cosi Citi Side Protection System out of the car. Do not
allow yourself to be distracted by your child while driving.

• The safety of the seat can only be guaranteed by the manufacturer when used by the original owner.

• We strongly advise you not to use a second-hand product, as you are never sure if the seat has been involved
in an accident or whether it has been otherwise damaged.

• After an accident your Maxi-Cosi Citi Side Protection System should be replaced. Although it may appear
undamaged, if you were to have another accident it would not protect your child as well as it should.

• It is advisable not to use car safety seats longer than 5 years after the date of purchase. Due to the ageing
process of the plastic for instance, the qualities of the product may have unnoticeably deteriorated.

• Under no circumstances may the moving parts of the Maxi-Cosi Citi Side Protection System be oiled or
greased.

• Ensure that all luggage /objects, on the parcel shelf for instance, likely to cause injury in the event of an
accident are properly secured.

• WARNING: Always return the instruction manual to the storage compartment at the back of the seat for future
reference.

• WARNING: Never leave your child unattended in the seat, either in or out of the car.

• WARNING: Do not place the Maxi-Cosi Citi Side Protection System on high surfaces, such as tables,
worktops, beds, etc., due to the "risk of falling".

Other Instructions

• When using the Maxi-Cosi Citi Side Protection System on the front seat, the car seat must always be placed in
the rearmost position.

• The backrest of the car seat must be placed in an upright position. An adjustable head rest must be in the lowest
position. Return the head rest to the correct position when the seat is used by another passenger.

• The seat must always be secured with a seat belt, even when not in use. An unsecured seat may injure other
passengers in the car in the event of an accident or emergency stop.

English

• Ensure that the seat is not damaged by wedging it between or underneath heavy luggage, adjustable seats or
slamming the car door, etc.

• NEVER place a baby on your knee in the car. Due to the enormous forces released in an accident, it will be
impossible to hold on to the baby.

• Never use the same 3-point seat belt to secure yourself and the baby in the car.

• No alterations may be made to the Maxi-Cosi Citi Side Protection System (seat and harness belt) as this could
effect part or the overall safety of the seat. In such a case the manufacturer cannot guarantee the safety of your
child.

• It is advisable not to leave your child in the Maxi-Cosi Citi Side Protection System for hours at a time. To aid the
natural development of your child, it is important that the child be placed regularly flat on its back or stomach.

• The Maxi-Cosi Citi Side Protection System must not be used without the cover. Always use an ORIGINAL
Maxi-Cosi Citi Side Protection System cover, as the cover contributes to the safety of the seat. The energy
absorbing foam in the shell is essential for the safety and must not be removed.

• Everyone travelling in the car must wear a seat belt. Passengers on the back seat not wearing a seat belt could
be dangerous to the child in the front seat.

• In order to prevent damage to the cover do not remove the Maxi-Cosi logo.

Questions

If you have a warranty claim or any other questions, please contact your supplier or importer (see address list on
the back cover of this instruction manual).

Securing the baby in the Maxi-Cosi Citi Side Protection System (fig. A-D)

Never leave your child unattended in the seat. This also applies when using the seat outside the car.

• Open the belt buckle (press the red button).

• Ensure the baby is placed correctly in the seat, its back firmly against the back of the seat. The ergonomic shape
of the shell ensures the baby does not slump in the seat.

• The shoulder belts must fit correctly over the shoulders of the baby.

• Slide both plastic tongue sections together (fig. A1).

• Insert both tongue sections in the buckle, you will hear a loud click locking them in position (fig. A2).

• Pull the adjuster belt at the front of the shell tight, so that the child is firmly secured with the harness belt (the
belt system).
