LATCH (Lower Anchors and
Tethers for CHildren) and
UAS (Universal Anchorage
System) are acronyms that
refer to a pair of xed Lower
Anchors (or bars) and a Top
Tether anchor that are built
into your vehicle, in vehicles
built after September 1, 2002.
The lower LATCH/UAS
anchors are located in the
crease, or bight, between the
vehicle seat back and seat
cushion, and if not visible, will typically be indicated by
symbol. Top tether anchors are located in various places
behind the rear vehicle seat.
Center installation in a non-standard LATCH/UAS
position:
Center installation of this child restraint is permitted
using inner Lower Anchor Bars from the outside
seating positions if (1) your vehicle manual allows such
installation; and (2) the inner Lower Anchor Bars from
the outside seating positions are 28-51 cm (11-20 in.)
apart.
LATCH/UAS typically offers an easier and more
consistent installation. However, this child restraint
can be safely installed using either LATCH/UAS or
vehicle belts and meets the requirements of Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard FMVSS 213 with either
installation method. Either method is safe for your child
when installed correctly.
DO NOT install this child restraint with LATCH/UAS and
the vehicle’s seat belts at the same time. Your vehicle
owner’s manual may also refer to this system as ISOFIX
or Lower Universal Anchorage System (LUAS).
The LATCH/UAS system is intended to be used ONLY
as described in these instructions. Serious injury or
death may result from misuse. Refer to your vehicle
Owner’s Manual for lower anchor bar positions in your
vehicle.
