Child Seat Functions

Switching the Lower Connector System (LCS)

The LCS strap may need to be switched to the proper
belt path in rear-facing (Fig. A) versus forward-facing
(Fig. B) installations. If a proper connection of the LCS
connectors to the LUAS anchors cannot be achieved,
complete the following procedure to switch the
connectors.
1 Lift the front of the child seat cover to access the
LCS connectors.
2 Pass the LCS connector strap through the belt
path on the child's right side (Fig. C).
3 Pass one LCS connector through the appropriate
belt path ensuring that the larger part of the
connector is on top for the installation procedure
you wish to use (Fig D).
• Verify that the harness is not twisted.
IMPORTANT: When installing this child seat in rear-
facing mode, the LCS strap must rest behind the
child seat buckle strap.
NOTE: To ensure LCS connector is properly aligned
with vehicle's LUAS anchor, the connector's red
release button should face away from vehicle seat
back, and the larger of the two connector sections is
on top (Fig. D).
4 Replace the cover and continue with the installation
procedure.

Storing the LCS Connectors

When the LCS connectors are not in use, lift the
child seat cover to access LCS storage slots (Fig. E).
Fold each end of the LCS strap and slide each LCS
connector into the adjacent slots.
NOTE : Child seats are shipped from Britax with LCS
connectors in the storage slots.
