The Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children or LUAS, is
a system available on this child restraint that offers an
alternative to vehicle seat belt installation methods. The
figure above shows typical locations for lower anchors and
tether anchors in a vehicle. See pages 2 - 3 for LUAS
components on this child restraint.
Check your vehicle owner's manual to learn if it is equipped
with LUAS, the maximum weight rating for the lower
anchors, tether anchors capacities, and information on the
lower anchor locations and designated seating positions
available for use with this child restraint.
Tether anchor locations vary
from vehicle to vehicle. Check
your vehicle owner's manual
and look for the tether anchor
symbol shown in the diagram
to help identify where the top
tether anchor point is located in
your vehicle.
Overhang from Vehicle Seat
Harness Mode
It is important that the base of the child restraint rests
completely flat on the vehicle seat with no side overhang.
It is permissible to allow up to 7.5 cm (3 in.) of the base to
hang over the front edge of the vehicle seat. If the vehicle
seat does not allow enough of the child restraint base to
make contact, adjust the recline angle to a more upright
position. Not doing so could cause the child restraint to not
perform as intended.
IMPORTANT:
and MUST be parallel to vehicle seat.
