4 REMOVING THE MAXI-COSI AXISS
FROM THE CAR
(Fig. 15 - 17)
1. Simultaneously open the handle (a) and rotate the seat
shell (b) towards you.
2. (a) Push the button inwards (1) whilst simultaneously
rotating the handle of the belt guide downwards. Keep the
button pushed in (1) and pull the belt (2) to unwind it from
the guide. Remove the belt from the spindle (c).
IMPORTANT: the belt can only be released if the handle is
rotated fully downwards.
3. Release the seat belt buckle (a), and remove the seat belt
from the upper belt guide (b) and the lower belt guides on
the car seat's base.
IMPORTANT: Even when the car seat is not occupied by a
child, it should still be secured into the car according to the
instructions. Car seats that are incorrectly secured can pose
a danger to fellow passengers. In the event of collision, an
insecure car seat can pose danger to life.
5 ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE
SHOULDER BELTS
The belt system should be adjusted according to
the height of the child.
* The shoulder belts of the harness should be adjusted so that
they are level with the child's shoulders (see diagram).
(Fig. 18 - 21)
1. Tilt the headrest forwards.
2. Adjust the headrest upwards or downwards depending
on the child's body length.
3. When the headrest is in the desired position, press it back
to lock it into position.

6 PLACING THE CHILD INTO THE
CAR SEAT
(Fig. 22 - 25)
1. To make placing the child into the car seat easier, use the
handy belt hooks on the sides of the car seat (a). Before
placing the child into the seat, fix the shoulder belts to
the hooks.
2. Place the child into the car seat, then remove the belts
from the hooks.
3. Slide the buckle sections (a) + (b) together and place
them into the buckle until you hear a clear "click" sound.
4. Pull on the adjustable belt and then pull the whole belt
system tight.
- Note: Do not leave more than one finger's width of
space between the child and the belt system.
- Note: The belts should be pulled extremely tight. Slack
of just one finger's width will make it virtually impossible
for the child to free his/her arms from underneath the
shoulder belts.
7 REMOVING THE CHILD FROM THE
CAR SEAT
(Fig. 26 - 27)
1. Push the adjuster button (a) and simultaneously pull the
shoulder belts (b) to loosen the belt system (make sure to
pull the belts and not the belt pads).
2. Push the red button on the buckle and open the belt
system. Fix the shoulder belts to the hooks.
8 ADJUSTING THE SITTING AND
SLEEPING POSITION
(Fig. 28)
Adjusting the car seat
The Maxi-Cosi Axiss can be adjusted to 6 different
positions from sitting to semi-reclining
- Push the button on the front of the seat shell and
simultaneously adjust the position of the seat backwards
or forwards to the desired sitting/reclining position.
Release the button to lock the seat shell into the desired
position.
9 MAINTENANCE AND REMOVING
THE FABRIC COVER
Maintenance
Fabric cover:
• R efer to the washing label before cleaning the fabric
cover (the washing label is stitched to the cover). The
washing label displays the following information.
Washing instructions
Cleaning the cover:
• W ash the cover and belt pads by hand (maximum of
30°C). Do not use a drier. Also see the care instructions
on the cover.
Tip: It is wise to buy an extra cover when purchasing the
Maxi-Cosi Axiss so that you can continue to use it even when
the cover is being washed and dried.
Plastic base and seat shell:
- CAUTION: Perform these actions only while the Maxi-
Cosi Axiss is outside of the car. Clean all plastic parts of
the base using a cloth, soap and lukewarm water. Do not
use any aggressive cleaning agents.
- CAUTION: Never use lubricants – not even for the
moving parts of the Maxi-Cosi Axiss.
(Fig. 29 - 35)
Removing the fabric cover from the seat shell:
Tip: Prior to removing the fabric cover from the seat shell, we
suggest you carefully study how it is attached so that you
can correctly re-attach it to the car seat later on.
1. Rotate the Maxi-Cosi Axiss seat.
2. Open the belt buckle by pushing the red button, open the
buckle (a), then push on the adjustable button (b) and
simultaneously pull both shoulder belts forwards (pull the
belts, NOT the belt pads).
3. Remove the shoulder belts from the belt yoke at the rear
of the car seat, then pull the shoulder belts from the shell
and the belt pads through the front of the car seat.
4. Loosen the elastic bands from the fabric cover (a). Lift
the fabric cover over parts (b) + (c) on the seat shell
(see diagram). Lift the belt components (d) through the
opening on the seat, then carefully and slowly remove
the cover.
5. Lift the elastic bands over the top of the headrest (see
diagram). Guide the belt pads through the opening of
the headrest cover, then remove the cover. Make sure to
remove the support plate from the cover before washing.
IMPORTANT: do NOT remove other parts from the car
seat, such as the EPS/polystyrene or other foam material
from underneath the fabric cover. These materials are
necessary for the safety of the Maxi-Cosi Axiss.
* When re-attaching the cover, it is very important that the
harness belts are not twisted. These should pass through
the belt buckle flat (see diagram). The harness belts
should be placed underneath the cross beams on the rear
of the car seat. Before placing the child back into the car
seat, you should check that the belt system is working
correctly. If you have any doubt you should contact the
retailer of the car seat.
Only for removing the headrest cover
Release the iron rod from the rear of the car seat (b) and
remove it. The straps on the belt pads are then released.
Remove the belt pads from the car seat through the front. The
fabric cover from the headrest can now be removed.
Belt buckle functioning and cleaning:
The proper functioning of the belt buckle is very important
for the safety of the child. The most common reason for the
buckle not functioning properly is because it is dirty (from
dust, grime, food particles, etc.). Ensure that the belt buckle is
clean by removing dirt with a vacuum cleaner. The following
is a list of possible causes of function failure and possible
solutions.
A. Failure of the belt buckle:
• W hen opening the belt buckle, the buckle sections are
released slowly.
• T he belt buckle can only be opened with considerable
force.
• I t is difficult to click the buckle sections into the buckle
(too much resistance).
• T he buckle will no longer close, the buckle sections will
not go together.
• T here is no "click" sound when closing the buckle.
B. Solving any problems:
• C heck the buckle for any dirt and if necessary clean
by knocking the dirt out, rinsing, blasting with air or
vacuuming.
• C AUTION: Never use lubricants!
If you are unable to close the belt buckle or if you are unsure
whether you have solved the problem correctly, contact your
retailer or importer immediately (see back of instruction
manual). Under these conditions, do not use the Maxi-Cosi
Axiss.
