7. Probleemoplossing

If you encounter any issues with your Maxi-Cosi Spinel 360 Car Seat, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Het autostoeltje voelt los aan na installatie:
  Oplossing: Recheck that the ISOFIX connectors are fully engaged (green indicators visible) and pushed firmly against the vehicle seat. Ensure the support leg is extended correctly and its indicator is green.
• Het harnas is lastig strakker of losser te maken:
  Oplossing: Ensure the harness adjustment button is fully pressed when attempting to loosen. Check for any twists in the harness straps behind the seat.
• De stoel draait niet:
  Oplossing: Ensure the seat is not in a reclined position that obstructs rotation. Check that the rotation handle/button is fully engaged. The seat may need to be in a specific upright position to rotate.
• Headrest/Harness adjustment is stiff:
  Oplossing: Ensure no fabric or debris is obstructing the mechanism. Apply gentle, even pressure when adjusting.

If the problem persists, contact Maxi-Cosi customer support.
