This is a new system (since 2003) that
provides anchor points specifically intended
for car seats.

your vehicle is fitted with LATCH.
The mounting points may also be identified in
your vehicle by the LATCH symbol.
VEHICLE BELTS
The car seat may also be installed using a
lap/shoulder belt or a lap only belt.

INSTALLATION USING THE BASE.
Place the vehicle on a level surface.
Decide where in the vehicle the car seat is to
be installed.
Place the car seat base onto the vehicle seat
and adjust the level of the base using the
adjustable recline foot.
Use the level indicator towards the back of the
base as a reference to achieve the correct
level.
In some vehicles it may be necessary to use a
rolled towel or pool noodle under the front of
the base to assist in getting the correct level.
To move the base foot to a new position, pull
the front panel outwards and reposition the
base foot as required.
WARNING: Read the information on page
21 about having the car seat too upright or
too reclined.
If it is not possible to install the base at the
correct angle, try a different position or do
not install in the vehicle.
