The UAS
The Universal Anchorage
System (UAS) is for installing
restraint systems without
using vehicle seat belts.
The UAS can ONLY be used in
vehicles that have the UAS
anchor bars installed and
designated UAS seating
Vehicle Belts
If UAS is not an option, you
must use the vehicle seat
belt system to install the
restraint system. There are
some vehicle belts that will
not work with a restraint
Not all vehicle belts will work with this restraint system. This
restraint system must be tightly locked in place at all times,
during travel. You must determine if your vehicles belts are
compatible with this restraint system.
Vehicle Belts
• Automatic/Passive vehicle seat belts
You MUST have a lap belt to install any restraint system. An
automatic (passive) shoulder belt may or may not have a
separate lap belt. Consult your vehicle owner's manual.
• Vehicle belts in center of the
door or side panel
You must move the restraint system to
another seating location. Consult your
vehicle owner's manual.
• Vehicle belts that are in front of
the seat bight
You may need to move the restraint
system to another seating location.
Consult your vehicle owner's manual.
• ELR (Emergency Locking Retractor) vehicle belts
These lap and shoulder belts only lock in a sudden stop or
crash, and do not properly secure a restraint system alone.
Consult your vehicle owner's manual.
To learn if you have this type of belt,
gently pull the belt all the way out of
the retractor (spool), let it return
several inches, then pull on it again. If
it moves freely, it is an ELR belt. If it is
locked and will not allow any more belt to come out, it is a
switchable retractor.
If you have an ELR lap and shoulder belt, review the "Vehicle
Latch Plate" section to see if you need a locking clip.
ELR lap-only belts MUST NOT be used with
this restraint system.
