Lower Universal Anchorage System (LUAS) Installation
Figure A illustrates a typical forward-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.

tight and not twisted, and that the LCS connectors
are in an upright position (Fig. B) to ensure proper
installation.
Remove the LCS connectors from storage slots 1
under the cover. See page 28. Pull both LCS
connectors completely through the child seat’s
right-side, rear-facing belt slot (Fig. C) so they
are on the outside of the shell.
NOTE : Child seat is assembled in rear-facing
mode.
Press and hold one LCS adjuster release button, 2
then pull to extend the LCS strap to full length.
