A
nchorage
S ystem (UAS) in Canada. In this manual, this system will be known as LATCH/
UAS.
All 2003 and newer model year vehicles are required to have built-in LATCH/
UAS anchorage systems. Some manufacturers began including LATCH/UAS
with their 2000 model year vehicles.
For infant car seat installations, the applicable parts of the vehicle LATCH/UAS
system are the two lower anchorages (horizontal bars) located in the vehicle
seat bight between the seat back and the seat cushion. These anchorages
are normally indicated by the symbol below or the word ‘ISOFIX.’
This car seat can be installed with the car seat base using the LATCH/UAS
belt and connectors. LATCH/UAS belt and connectors are included with the
car seat base and can be found in their storage location.
The car seat cannot be installed without the car seat base using the LATCH/
UAS anchorage system.
Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual regarding requirements for using
the vehicle’s LATCH/UAS anchorages with the car seat, or contact the
vehicle manufacturer for guidance.
