pull each LATCH adjuster strap to full length.

Thread the LATCH connectors through

It may be necessary to switch LATCH connectors as

shown on page 29 if ANY of the following conditions exist:

LATCH connector is not in an upright position as

shown in figure D.

LATCH strap is twisted.

A positive click is NOT heard when LATCH connector

and LATCH anchor are connected.

NOTE:

If a positive click is not heard, but the LATCH connector is in an

upright position, you should not switch the LATCH connector. The strap may

be too tight or twisted, or there may be debris in the LATCH connector.

LATCH Installation

Figure A illustrates a typical forward-facing LATCH

installation.

Verify that your vehicle is equipped with LATCH

anchors. If LATCH anchors are not available, you must

use vehicle belt installation methods.

Place the child seat sideways on the vehicle

seat, with the back facing you.

Child seat may be in upright or recline position. See

Recline Adjustment on page 30.

Remove the Versa-Tether

®

from pouch and

place up and over the child seat back.

Verify that the LATCH strap is not twisted and

attach the closest LATCH connector to the vehicle

seat back to the farthest LATCH anchor (Fig. E).

A positive click confirms attachment.

Rotate the child seat into the forward-facing

position.

Verify that the LATCH strap is not twisted and

attach the remaining LATCH connector to the

adjacent LATCH anchor (Fig. F).

A positive click confirms attachment.

Push the child seat into the vehicle seat while

pulling each LATCH adjuster strap tight (Fig. G).

Attach the Versa-Tether

®

hook to an approved

tether anchor. Remove all slack from the tether

to secure. Store excess webbing in the tether

pouch. See pages 25 – 28.

Verify all connections are secure and that the child seat is secure.

The child seat is secure when it cannot be moved front-to-back or side-to-

side more than 1 inch (2.5 cm.) at the belt path.

Removal

Disconnect the Versa-Tether

®

from the tether anchor.

Release each LATCH harness from the LATCH anchor by pressing

the red release button on the LATCH connector.

When not in use, always store the LATCH connectors in storage

slots. See page 30.
