9 to 36 kg
*ECE = European Standard for Child Safety Equipment
The child seat has been designed, tested and approved according to the require-
ments of the European Standard for Child Safety Equipment (ECE R 44/04).
The E certification mark (in a circle) and approval number can be found
on the orange approval label (sticker on the child seat).
DANGER!
The certification is invalidated if you make any modifications to the
child seat. Only the manufacturer is permitted to make modifications to the child seat.
DANGER!
Never secure your child or the child seat with a 2-point belt. If you
secure your child in the child seat with a 2-point belt only, this may cause serious
injuries to your child in the event of an accident and could even cause death.
WARNING!
The
ADVANSAFIX IV R
must be used exclusively for securing your
child in the vehicle. It is in no way suitable for use as a seat or toy in the home.
Please take the time to read these instructions carefully and always keep
them in the storage pouch provided
14
on the child seat for later reference.
The instructions must accompany the child seat if it is later passed on to a third
party.
DANGER! For the protection of your child:
• Before closing the vehicle door, check that neither your child nor any parts
of the child seat can get jammed in the door.
• In the event of an accident at a collision velocity greater than 10 km/h, it is pos-
sible that the child seat may be damaged without the damage being immediately
visible. In this case the child seat must be replaced. Please dispose of it properly.
• Always have the child seat examined if it has been damaged (e.g. if it falls to the
ground).
• Regularly check all important parts for damage. In particular, ensure that
all the mechanical parts are fully functional.
• Never lubricate any parts of the child seat with grease or oil.
• Never leave your child unattended in the child seat in the vehicle.
• Have your child enter and exit the vehicle on the pavement side only.
• When not in use, protect the child seat from direct exposure to sunlight.
The child seat can become very hot in direct sunshine. Children's skin is sensi-
tive and could be harmed as a result.
•

-
fore, avoid having your child wear thick clothes under the belt.
• On long journeys, take regular breaks in order to give your child a chance to run
about and play.
• If using on the rear seat: Move the front seat far enough forward to ensure that
your child's feet will not knock against the backrest of the front seat (to prevent
the risk of injury).
DANGER! For the protection of all vehicle occupants:
In the case of an emergency stop or accident, unsecured objects or people may
cause injury to other occupants in the vehicle. Therefore, please always ensure
that ...
QRORDGEHDULQJFRQWDFWSRLQWVDUHXVHGRWKHUWKDQWKRVHVSHFL¿HGLQWKHVH
instructions and those marked on the child seat.
• the backrests of the car seats are secured (for example, check that any fold-
down rear seat bench has snapped into place).
• all heavy or sharp-edged objects present in the vehicle (e.g. on the parcel shelf)
are held securely.
• all persons in the vehicle have their seatbelts fastened.
• the child seat is secured whenever it is in the vehicle, even if it is not carrying
a child.
WARNING! For your protection when handling the child seat:
• Never use the child seat in a free-standing position, not even for testing.
• To avoid damage, ensure that the child seat is not jammed in between hard ob-
jects (car door, seat rails, etc.).
• Keep the child seat in a safe place when not in use. Do not place heavy objects
on the seat and do not store directly next to heat sources or in direct sunlight.
CAUTION! To protect your vehicle:
• Certain car seat covers made from more sensitive materials (e.g. velour, leather,
etc.) may show wear marks after a child seat has been used. For optimum
protection of your car seat covers, we recommend using the BRITAX RÖMER
car seat protector from our range of accessories.

TAKING CARE OF THE HARNESS BUCKLE
To ensure the safety of your child, it is essential that the harness buckle continues
to function correctly. Harness buckle malfunctions are usually caused by dirt accumu-
lation or by external objects. Such malfunctions may be:
•
When you press the red release button, the buckle clips are ejected only slowly.
•
The buckle clips no longer engage (i.e. they pop out again when you try to push
them in).
•
The buckle clips do not engage without an audible click.
•
The buckle clips are difficult to push in (you feel a certain amount of resistance).
•
It takes a lot of force to open the harness buckle.
Remedy
Rinse out the harness buckle so that it works perfectly again:
CLEANING THE HARNESS BUCKLE
1.
Open the Velcro fastener on the crotch cushion 31 and remove it.
2.
