Installing The Convenience Base With The Latch System - Evenflo Embrace Owner's Manual

Installing the Convenience Base
with the LATCH System
LATCH is a system for attaching the child restraint
system to your vehicle seat. It is to be used in place of
your vehicle's seat belts, and can only be used in vehicles
with LATCH anchors. Your vehicle owners manual may
refer to this system as ISOFIX.
WARNING
• This LATCH system is intended to be used
described in these instructions. Serious injury or death
may result from misuse.
• In addition to these instructions, read and follow your
vehicle owner's manual regarding installation of the
child restraint and LATCH. If there is a discrepancy,
follow your vehicle owner's manual.
• ONLY use for securing convenience base to lower
LATCH anchor points.
• NEVER attach two LATCH connectors to one vehicle
lower anchor point.
• NEVER use the vehicle seat belts when using the
LATCH system. Using both together can cause slack in
a sudden stop or crash.
• When not in use, the LATCH connectors should be
securely stored in the storage area located in the
convenience base (see page 39). Keep out of reach of
children.
• ALWAYS be sure that the LATCH connectors are fully
engaged onto the LATCH anchor points by pulling
hard on the LATCH harness. If they are not totally
engaged, the LATCH system will not secure your child
restraint. Serious injury or death may result.
• DO NOT use this child restraint if it moves more than
25 mm (1 inch) forward or side-to-side at the vehicle
belt path. Serious injury or death may result from poor
installation. If you can not tightly secure the child
restraint, try again or move it to another location.
• This child restraint MUST
ONLY as
face the rear of the vehicle.
