KEY 2-3 ULTRAFIX
VERY IMPORTANT! TO BE READ IMMEDIATELY
• Read these instructions carefully before fitting
and installing the product. The product must not
be used by anybody who has not read these in-
structions.
• Keep this manual for future reference.
• WARNING! According to car accident statistics,
the rear seats of a vehicle are generally safer than
the front seat: it is therefore recommended to fit
the child car seat into the rear seats of the car.
In particular, the central rear seat is the safest,
when fitted with a 3-point safety belt.
• It is recommended to ensure that all passengers
know how to release the child from the car seat
in the case of an emergency.
• If the child car seat is fitted in the front seat of
the car with the front airbag installed, in order to
ensure maximum safety, it is recommended to
push the seat back as much as possible, bearing
in mind the comfort of the passenger sitting in
the seat directly behind it.
• Only fit the child car seat onto seats which are
fastened to the car chassis and facing forwards.
Make sure that all folding or rotating car seats
are always firmly fastened in place, otherwise
they could be dangerous.
• Pay close attention on how to fit the child seat
into the vehicle, to prevent a loose seat or car
door from interfering with it.
• No child car seat can guarantee the total safety
of your child in the event of an accident, but the
use of this product reduces the risk of serious in-
juries or death.
• The risk of serious injuries to the child increa-
ses, not only in the case of accidents, but also in
other circumstances (i.e.: sudden braking etc.), if
these instructions are not followed carefully.
• If the child car seat is damaged, deformed or
worn out, it must be replaced, as its original sa-
fety features may have been compromised.
• This product must not be modified in any way,
unless the manufacturer approves the modifica-
tion.
• Do not install accessories, spare parts, or any
component not supplied by the manufacturer.
• Never leave your child unattended in the car
seat for any reason.
• Never place anything except an approved acces-
sory between the vehicle seat and the child car
seat or between the child car seat and the child:
in the event of an accident, the child car seat
may not operate correctly.
• It is highly recommended not to leave the car
and child car seat in the sun for too long. This
will prevent potential burns to the child and also
guarantee that the components and fabric co-
lours will last longer. If the vehicle has been left
in the sun, check that the different parts of the
child car seat are not too hot before seating the
child in it: in such an event, let the child car seat
cool down first before placing the child inside.
• After an accident, even a slight one, the child
seat incurs damage, even if it is not visible to the
naked eye. It must therefore be replaced.
• Never use second-hand child car seats: they may
have suffered structural damage which is not vi-
sible to the naked eye but however compromise
the safety of the product.
• The seat fabric must only be replaced with ano-
ther approved by the manufacturer as it consti-
tutes an integral part of the child car seat. To
ensure the safety of the child car seat, never use
it without its fabric cover.
• Check that the car seat belts are not twisted and
try to prevent them, or any other part of the car
seat from getting trapped in the car door or rub-
bing against sharp objects.
• The child car seat must not be used when the car
seat belts are cut or frayed.
• When the child car seat is not in use inside the
vehicle, it should be left secured to the car's seat,
or stowed in the car's boot. An unsecured child
car seat may be a source of danger for the other
passengers in the event of an accident or sudden
braking.
• Do not transport loose or unsecured objects or
baggage on the back shelf of the vehicle: in the
event, of an accident or sudden braking, they
may injure the passengers.
• Check that the car seat headrest does not inter-
fere with the child seat headrest: do not push it
forwards. If this is the case, remove the headrest
from the car seat on which the child seat is fit-
ted, without resting it on the luggage rack.
• Ensure that all the car passengers fasten their
seat belt, for their own safety and because, du-
ring the journey, they may injure the child in the
event of an accident or sudden braking of the
car.
• 0n long journeys make frequent stops. Children
tire easily. Never take your child out of the child
seat whilst the car is moving for any reason. If
your child needs attention, find a safe place and
pull over.
• This product is expressly intended to be used
only as a child car seat; it should not be used
indoors.
• ARTSANA declines all responsibility for the in-
correct use of this product.
