Make sure when using the Navigator with side airbags, your child does not lean into the area immediately around the airbag. We recommend that you consult with your vehicle manufacturer for side airbag details. Please read the whole instruction guide carefully and make sure you fully understand how to install and use the Navigator correctly. Always keep the instruction guide with the Navigator in a safe place. An instruction guide holder is provided on the back of the Navigator. It is safer to use the Navigator on the rear seat of the car. Do not use the Navigator in the home it has only been designed to be used in the car. Do not place anything such as a towel or cushion under the Navigator as this could affect the performance of the seat in an accident. Never buy a second hand child car seat. Always replace the Navigator and your vehicles seat belts after an accident, they may have unseen damage and may not protect your child as well as they should. All occupants in the vehicle must be correctly restrained. When not in always secure the Navigator by the vehicle seat belt. Always secure loose items in the car when travelling. Cover the Navigator if it is left in direct sun light, plastic and metal surfaces get very hot and could burn. The seat cover is also likely to fade. The lap and diagonal seat belt must be used at all times when your child is in the Navigator. Check the seat belt is not twisted. Do not make unauthorised modifications or alterations to the Navigator. The official approval is no longer valid if modifications are made. The Navigator must never be used without the seat cover being correctly fitted. If you replace the cover, only use one recommended by the manufacturer. Do not allow children to play with or adjust the Navigator. Do not leave children alone in the car. Never leave a child unattended in the Navigator either in or outside the car. Make sure that all folding vehicle seats are securely latched. Make sure your Navigator does not become trapped in the door of the vehicle or by a folding passenger seat. Avoid storing the Navigator near a direct heat source such as a radiator. Do not place heavy objects on top of the Navigator. Always store the Navigator in a dry environment. Check your Navigator regularly for wear and tear. WARNING: Child car seats can mark vehicle seat upholstery. Silver Cross cannot be held responsible for damage or marking to vehicle seats and seat belts. 2 3

Do not install the Navigator into a seat where the vehicle upper seat belt anchorage point is either level or forward of the Navigator s red upper seat belt guide. Seat belt buckle position 10 When you have fitted the Navigator it is important to check the position of the seat belt buckle. No part of the seat belt buckle should rest on the red lower belt guide. 11 If any part of the seat belt buckle has been pulled around the seat shell into the red lower belt guide the seat is not suitable and must not be used. Try another seating position in the car. Releasing your child from the Navigator To release your child from the Navigator, carefully undo the seat belt.
