1. Remove any toys or other objects attached to the carry handle before
installing car seat in vehicle.
2. Snap car seat into base and place car seat and
base in the rear-facing position onto the vehicle
seat in the vehicle seating location selected.
Check for the correct seat recline and adjust
recline as necessary. (See Section 11.4 Adjust

position with the anti-rebound bar contacting the
vehicle seat back.
6. Slide the UAS belt into the Vehicle Belt Path
openings on the side of the base (1) and under
the edge of the anti-rebound bar (2). (Fig 36-1)

and snap the Car Seat UAS connectors onto
the steel rod (Fig 36-2). Listen for the click and

upward on each webbing end. The webbing
will automatically lock in place. (Fig 36-3)
