What is Universal Anchorage System?
UAS is a new system for attaching the child restraint
to your vehicle seat. UAS connects a child restraint
to your automobile without using a seat belt. It is called
LATCH in the United States or ISOFIX in Europe.
If your vehicle is equipped with UAS lower connector
attachment points, the lower anchor attachment points may
be visible at the seat crease. If not, the symbol below may
be affixed near the seat crease to indicate the attachment
points.
