LATCH is a system for attaching the child restraint to your
vehicle seat. It is to be used in place of your vehicle’s seat
belts and can be used in vehicles with LATCH anchors.
Your vehicle owner’s manual may refer to this system
as ISOFIX, Universal Anchorage System (UAS), or Lower
Universal Anchorage System.
• ONLY use for securing child restraint to lower anchor bars.
• ALWAYS read and follow exactly the instructions which
accompany your vehicle and child restraint.
• NEVER attach two hooks to one vehicle lower anchor bar.
• DO NOT use the vehicle seat belts to install a child
restraint when using the Lower Anchor Connector
Assembly.
• This Lower Anchor Connector Assembly is intended to be
used ONLY as described in these instructions.
Serious injury or death may result from misuse.
• ALWAYS be sure that the Lower Anchor Connector hook is
fully engaged onto the Vehicle Lower Anchor Bar by pulling
hard on the Lower Anchor Connector strap. If it is not
totally engaged, the Lower Anchor Connector Assembly
will not secure your child restraint. Serious injury or death
may result.
• To avoid a strangulation hazard, you MUST store the
unused lower anchor connector assembly, with all slack
removed, in storage area on the bottom of the seat (page
45). Roll or fold excess lower anchor connector strap and
secure with a rubber band to prevent serious injury to
vehicle occupants.
• In addition to these instructions, read and follow your
vehicle owner’s manual regarding installation of child
restraints and LATCH. If there is a discrepancy, follow your
vehicle owner’s manual.
WARNING

(page 38) and place it in your vehicle forward-facing,
