Can I install a rear-facing seat on the front passenger seat?
Rear-facing car seats must only be installed on the passenger seat if the front airbag has been deactivated. Placing your child on a passenger seat with an activated airbag poses an enormous risk of injury, and we at CYBEX strictly advise against this. For other types of car seats check the user manuals of both your car seat and your vehicle to find out if you should deactivate the airbag. Statistics show that the safest place for a car seat is on the rear seat behind the front passenger seat. Side airbags do not put your child’s safety at risk. If you have no choice other than to use the front passenger seat, please ensure that the seat is pushed back as far as possible and that the airbag is deactivated.
How should the headrest be adjusted?
Only a headrest adjusted to the optimum height will give your child the best possible protection and comfort. The height can be adjusted to various positions. The headrest must be adjusted so there is no more than 2 cm between the child’s shoulders and the bottom of the headrest.
Can I use the car seat on laterally-facing vehicle seats?
It is not permitted to use the car seat on laterally-facing vehicle seats.
Can I use the car seat on rear-facing vehicle benches (e.g. in vans or minibuses)?
No. This car seat cannot be used on rear-facing vehicle benches.
What do I have to bear in mind when installing the Sirona in my vehicle?
First, select an appropriate vehicle seat. Unfold the load leg until it locks with an audible CLICK. Release the buttons of the ISOFIX locking arms and push them out of the base to their furthest extent. Insert the arms into the ISOFIX anchorage points (make sure they lock with an audible CLICK and that the safety indicators show green). Push the base towards the backrest of the vehicle seat until it is fully aligned with the backrest. Moving the whole car seat back and forth, and from side to side will further brace it against the backrest. Always make sure that the load leg is extended completely (pull out the load leg by pushing the adjustment button until it touches the vehicle floor). Pull the leg out and into the next locking position (make sure the load leg indicator on the base shows green).
Can I also use this seat in a car without ISOFIX anchorage points?
No, this seat can only be installed in vehicles with ISOFIX anchorage points, due to the fact that it must be installed with ISOFIX in every position.
