User manual BRITAX HI-WAY

[. . . ] DO NOT use a forward facing child seat on a passenger seat fitted with an active airbag unless your vehicle manufacturer confirms that it is safe. DO NOT use the child seat on side facing or rearward facing vehicle seats. DO NOT use anything, such as a cushion or coat, to raise the child seat off the passenger seat. In an accident the child seat and your car seat belts would not be able to protect your child as well as they should. [. . . ] The crotch strap should only be extended when normal harness adjustment is not enough, i. Always return the crotch strap to its original, shorter length when using the seat with a smaller baby. Adjustment is made by feeding the crotch strap through the adjuster (dia 1f). With your other hand pull the shoulder straps forward as far as possible to loosen the harness. The adjuster at the end of the crotch strap is found under the front edge of the child seat. Installing your child seat (rearward facing) in rear side seat IMPORTANT - This child seat has been designed to perform safely and independently of further external restraint. IMPORTANT - The child seat MUST only be used with a lap and diagonal seat belt. To change the position (if required) pull the support leg clips off of either side and slide the telescopic leg in or out (dia 2b). Once satisfied with the position of the support leg, refit the clips in the holes (inset). After installation the gap between the seat in front and child seat should be a minimum of 10mm. If it does then adjust the car seat in front without making the driver or passenger sit in an uncomfortable position. Extend the footprop fully and make sure that the footprop tether brackets are facing forwards and that the straps are not twisted. Lower the footprop and adjust the height so that it is within approximately 30mm of the floor (dia 2c). Use the ruler printed on the back page of this manual to get the correct distance from the footprop to the floor. Slide the loop ends of the tether straps between the front car seat and back as shown (dia 2d & dia 2e). Bring the buckle ends of the tether straps around the outside of the car seat and feed through the loops 2 . Snap the buckles of the tether straps onto the tongues on the sides of the child seat 3 . If your car is equipped with a runner loop on the seat runners, these may be used as an alternative (see detail 2f). Feed the belt through the lock-off belt guide and seat shell slot (dia 2g), up on to the top face of the seat base, behind the crotch strap (inset) and down through the slot on the other side of the child seat. Open the other lock-off arm, feed the seat belt under the lock-off arm and attach the tongue into the buckle (dia 2h). Pull all of the seat belt slack through the child seat ensuring the seat belt is not twisted (dia 2i). When the belt is as tight as possible, close the lock-off arms on BOTH sides of the seat ensuring that they click into place. [. . . ] If the buckle now lies in the position marked as wrong with a and the seat belt cannot be correctly tightened (dia 4j), try another seating position in the car. Finally tighten the tether straps by pulling the loose ends downwards (dia 4k) until the footprop touches the floor. The footprop must rest on a solid floor - not on lids of storage boxes or similar. Once firmly strapped in, test the child seat by trying to move it back and forth and side to side. [. . . ]
