Lower Universal Anchorage System
(LUAS) Installation
• Figure A illustrates a rear-facing LUAS
installation.
• Verify that your vehicle is equipped with LUAS
anchors. If LUAS anchors are not available,
you must use the vehicle belt installation
methods.
1 If stored, remove the LCS connectors from
the storage slots under the cover (see page
33), open the rear-facing lock-offs, and route
through their adjacent rear-facing belt slots.
NOTE: Close lock-offs before continuing with
installation.
2 Press and hold the first LCS adjuster release
button, then pull the LCS strap to full length.
Repeat for the remaining LCS connector.
3 Recline the child seat and place rear-facing on
the vehicle seat. This child seat must be in the
recline position when installed rear-facing. See
Recline Adjustment on page 33.
4 Attach one LCS connector to its adjacent
vehicle LUAS anchor (Fig. B) in the upright
position (Fig. C).
• An audible click confirms attachment.
• Ensure that the LCS strap is not twisted.
You may need to turn the front of the child

seat toward you for easier access to the
vehicle LCS anchor.
5 Attach the remaining LCS connector to its
adjacent vehicle LUAS anchor (Fig. D) in the
upright position (Fig. B).
• An audible click confirms attachment.
• Ensure that the LCS strap is not twisted.
If an audible click is not heard when

may be twisted, or there may be debris in the
LCS connector. Correct either situation before
continuing with the installation process.
6 Align each LCS strap on the LCS bar with the
"LUAS Strap Here Rear-Facing" label on each
side of the child seat. (Figs. E and F).
7 Push the child seat firmly into the vehicle seat
while pulling each LCS strap tight (Fig. G).
IMPORTANT: Ensure the LCS strap does not fold
into the LCS adjuster while tightening.
8 Verify that all connections are secure, the LCS
strap is aligned to the "LUAS Strap Here Rear-
Facing" label on each side of the child seat,
and that the child seat is stable.
• The child seat is secure when it cannot be
moved more than 2.5 cm (1 in.) front-to-back
or side-to-side at the belt path. If the child seat
is not secure, repeat the installation process
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. H).
• If necessary, the proper recline angle can be
achieved by placing a rolled towel or pool
noodle in the vehicle seat bight to level the
child seat's base.
WARNING! Do not raise the child
seat off the front edge of the vehicle seat.
This could cause your child seat not to
perform as intended.
• Rear-facing installation can be improved by
the use of the Versa-Tether. See pages 29 – 32.
