•
installation.
When not in use, always store the LCS
•
connectors in the storage slots. See page 33.
TIP:
Turning the back of the child seat toward you
can make routing the vehicle belt easier (Fig. D).
Push the child seat firmly into the vehicle
5
seat while removing slack from the vehicle
belt (Fig. E).
Attach the Versa-Tether
6
®
hook to the
designated tether anchor for the chosen
seating position. Remove all slack from the
tether to secure. Store excess webbing in
the tether pouch. See pages 29 – 32.
Verify that the vehicle belt is tight, locked

and the child seat is secure.
The child seat is secure when it cannot
•
be moved front-to-back or side-to-side
more than 2.5 cm (1 in.) at the belt path.
If the child seat is not secure, repeat the
installation process or use an alternate
