The purpose of this instruction sheet is to illustrate the manufacturer's recommended method
of installation of the 2006 and newer Chevy Impala vehicle base.

•You must read and follow all of the installation instructions. Failure to follow all of the installation
instructions may result in serious bodily injury or death.

•Do not install or use the vehicle base in the area in which the airbag on the vehicle may be
deployed if it is acivated. The installer and user of the Chevy Impala Vehicle Base are responsible
for installing and using the mounting system ouside the area in which an airbag may be deployed
if activated. (See Product Mounting Disclaimer Below)

•Keep these installation instructions with the product and readily available in the vehicle for future
reference of other users of the product.

•Additional copies of the installation instructions can be obtainned from Gamber-Johnson. If you
need assistance or have any questions, call Gamber-Johnson at 1-800-456-6868.

•Do not remove warning label from product under any circumstances.

1. To begin, the front passenger's seat must be
removed from the vehicle floor. Slide the seat
all the way forward to access and remove the
two seat bolts found at the rear of the seat
frame.

2. After removing the seat bolts, slide the seat
all the way back. Tilt the back rest all the way
back. Remove the seat by lifting the back of the
seat first and sliding it towards the back of the
vehicle. Tilt the entire seat back and away from
the mounting area. Remove the two plastic seat
frame covers. They will interfere if left in place.
NOTE: The "hooks" on the front of the seat rails
(see FIG 1). There are two "hooks" for each seat
rail. The space in between the hooks will be
important later in STEP 6.

3. Place the base in the vehicle, with the rectangular cut-outs over the "hook" slots in the floor. Tilt the
seat forward and insert the "hooks" through the rectangular cut-outs in the base and into the mounting
slots on the floor of the vehicle. (see FIG.2)

4. At this point, make sure that there is clearance around the seat "hooks". The base should not be
pinched under the seat frame. With the seat "hooks" properly engaged the base should be able to move
slightly. If it is pinched, it will not move at all and it will be necessary to re-align the seat. Once the base
is aligned properly, replace the seat bolts at the rear of the seat frame.

5. Once the seat bolts are securely fastened, ensure that the base is as close to the seat frame and
mounting surface as possible.

6.With each of the two T-Brackets included, insert the small tab into the space between the "hooks."
(see note from STEP 2) It will be necessary to insert the T-brackets at an angle, for there will be very
little clearance between the seat frame and the threaded studs of the base. Use the included 1/4-20
Nylok nut (4X) and the 1/4 inch inner diameter flat washers (4X) to secure the T-brackets as shown in
FIG 3.

7. With the 1/4-20 hardware fastened, the installation of the base is complete. If installing p/n
7160-0055, add the off-set mounting step (p/n: 7110-0553) to the base as shown in FIG.4 You can
then add the desired mounting system (lower pole, upper pole, motion device and computer
solution) as needed.

8. For further stability, it is highly recommended that a support brace (p/n: LAC-02 W/U DS), which
is not included, is used once the desired height DS-POLE is installed.
