11 to operate the lights
To use the lights for the first time it may be
necessary to remove the isolating strip in the
battery compartment - see instruction 12.
The lights are provided as a safety feature to
provide visibility of the stroller in the dark –
they will not light the way.
A To turn the lights ‘on’ use the on/off button
located beneath the footrest at the front of the
stroller – the lights will display as a continuous
white light.
B Pressing the “mode” button, also located on
the underside of the footrest, will change the
white light to an alternating white/red/green
flashing display.
C Pressing the mode button again will change the
display to a flashing red/green display.
D Pressing the mode button again will return to
display to a constant white light.
A remote operating unit is provided and may
be used to change sequence of the display as
described above.
NOTE The sensor for the remote beam is located
in one of the light units and it may be necessary
to angle the sensor to allow a direct line to the
sensor to give efficient operation. The remote
operating unit has a range of 6 m (10 ft). The
Remote Unit has a cord and clip attached which
may be attached, for safe keeping to the clip in
the pocket on the rear of the seat.
E To switch the lights ‘off’ either use the on/off
switch on the stroller or on the remote ‘button –
this automatically puts the lights on to a 24 hour
standby and activation by operating the on/off
button on either the footplate or the remote
during this period will resume the previous
mode. After this period the full sequence from
‘A’ above will need to be used. The mode may be
changed using either the mode button on the
footplate or the ‘+ button’ on the remote.
RECOMMENDATION When turning “off” the lights,
please make sure the “master ON/OFF” switch
beneath the footplate is used. This “powers down”
the entire electronic system so that no battery
“drainage” is incurred. The Remote Control unit
will not function when the entire system is
powered down.
If, however, this master switch is not used there is
an automatic “power down” function which kicks in
after 24 Hours of non-use.
Once the “master” ON/OFF switch beneath the
footplate is used to turn “OFF” the unit, the same
“master” ON/OFF” switch beneath the footplate
must be used to power “ON” the lights also allowing
the Remote Control unit to be used.
The normal function of the product may be
disturbed by Strong Electro Magnetic Interference.
If so, simply reset the product to resume normal
operation by following this instruction.

How to activate
All Maclaren 2008 Collection and subsequent

qualify to be registered for the Lifetime Warranty. They
must be registered online, at maclarenbaby.com within
45 days of purchase, or in the case of a gift, within 45
days of receiving the gift, in order to benefit from the
Lifetime Warranty. If you should choose not to register
your buggy for the Sovereign Lifetime Warranty™, it
remains automatically covered by the Basic Warranty.
What it covers
The Sovereign Lifetime Warranty™ covers any
manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship,
for buggies used in normal conditions and in
compliance with operating instructions.
Who can register
The original Purchaser, or in the case of a gift, the
Recipient of the buggy, can register online for the
Sovereign Lifetime Warranty™, in his or her name.
Where it applies
The Sovereign Lifetime Warranty™ is recognised
anywhere in the world where there are Maclaren
Authorised Service Centres/Service Agents. Whether
you’re at home or abroad, you can find a list of local
Authorised Service Centres/Agents by checking the
local Maclaren website. See links to country websites

What lifetime means
“Lifetime” is defined as the period of use by the
Registrant for her/his children. Lifetime does not
include hand-me-downs or secondary purchases
of the buggy.
Important Note
The Sovereign Lifetime Warranty™ is given in addition
to and does not affect your statutory (legal) rights. All
Maclaren Buggys purchased from authorised retailers
are automatically covered by the Basic 1 Year Warranty.
