Vehicle Compatibility; Using Lower Universal Anchorage System (Luas) - Britax B-SAFE User Manual

Using Lower Universal Anchorage System (LUAS)

• Verify that your vehicle is equipped with LUAS. If
LUAS is not available, you must use vehicle belt
installation methods.
• The lower connectors must be in an upright position
and the strap should be tight and not twisted to
ensure proper installation.
LUAS is a system available on this child seat that offers an alternative to vehicle seat
belt installation methods. See pages 10 and 11 for LUAS components on this child seat.
