•Restraint must be in the full upright position when installed in forward facing

mode with children over 33 pounds (15kg).

• If installing with Versa-Tether®, remove B tether from pouch and loosely attach to an approved tether anchorage point before continuing. See pages 23–25 for complete Versa-Tether instructions.

5 Verify that LATCH harness is not twisted, then loosely attach the farthest connector to LATCH anchor (Fig. B).

•A positive click confirms attachment.

•If LATCH connectors will not attach with a positive click, it may be necessary to switch the LATCH connectors as shown on page 21. C

• Installation can be improved by the use of the Versa-Tether®(see pages

23–25).

WARNING: Use vehicle belt (not LATCH connectors) for installations with children weighing more than 48 pounds (21 kg). Refer to the vehicle owner’s manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for the maximum weight rating for their LATCH anchors. Unless specified otherwise by the vehicle manufacturer, assume a 48-pound child is the vehicle LATCH anchor limit.

Removal:

Release each LATCH harness from the LATCH anchor by pressing the release button on the LATCH connector. Disconnect Versa-Tether®, if attached.

•When not in use, always store the LATCH connectors in pockets.
