Verify that the LCS strap is not twisted and 7
attach the remaining LCS connector to the
adjacent LUAS anchor (Fig. E).
NOTE : It may be necessary to switch the LCS
connectors as shown on page 28 if ANY of the
following conditions exist :
LCS connector is not in an upright position (Fig. C). •
LCS strap is twisted. •
A positive click is NOT heard when the LCS connector •
connects to the LUAS anchor.
NOTE : If a positive click is not heard, but the LCS
connector is in an upright position, you should not
switch the LCS connectors. The strap may be too
tight or twisted, or there may be debris in the LCS
connector.
Push the child seat firmly into the vehicle 8
seat while pulling the LCS adjuster strap tight
(Fig. F).
Verify all connections are secure and that the 9
child seat is stable.
The child seat is secure when it cannot be moved •
more than 2.5 cm (1 inch) front-to-back or side-to-
side at the belt path. If the child seat is not secure,
repeat the procedure or use an alternate seating location.
When properly installed in the rear-facing position, the back angle of the child •
seat should be 30º – 45º from vertical (not to exceed 45º) when the car is parked
on a level surface (Fig. G).
If necessary, the proper recline angle can be achieved by placing a rolled towel •
or pool noodle in the crease of the vehicle seat to level the child seat’s base.
Rear-facing installation can be improved by the use of the Versa-Tether. • See
pages 25 – 27.
Lower Universal Anchorage System (LUAS) Installation
Figure A illustrates a typical rear-facing LUAS •
installation.
Verify that your vehicle is equipped with LUAS anchors. •
If LUAS anchors are not available, you must use vehicle
belt installation methods.
If stored, remove the LCS strap and connectors 1
from the storage slots under the cover. See
page 28.
Press and hold one LCS adjuster release button, 2
then pull to extend LCS strap to full length.
Repeat on the other end of the strap
IMPORTANT:
Check that the LCS connector strap is tight and not •
twisted, and that the LCS connectors are in an upright
position (Fig. C) to ensure proper installation.
The LCS strap must rest behind the child seat buckle •
strap.
Thread each LCS connector through the 3
adjacent rear-facing belt slot (Fig. B).
Fully recline the child seat and place it sideways 4
on the vehicle seat with the front facing toward
you.
Verify that the LCS straps are not twisted and 5
attach the closest LCS connector to the vehicle
seat to the farthest LUAS anchor (Fig. D).
Rotate the child seat into the rear-facing 6
position.
