Jeep 2012 Liberty - User Guide - Manual (Page 14)

• Loosen the child seat adjusters on
the lower straps and tether straps
so that you can attach the hook or
connector to the lower and tether
anchorages more easily.
• Attach the lower hooks or
connectors over the top of the
anchorage bars, pushing aside the
seat cover material. The rear seat
lower anchorages are round bars,
located at the rear of the seat
cushion where it meets the
seatback.
• The tether strap should be attached to the tether anchor on the rear of
the seatback using the most direct path. For the outboard seating
positions, route the tether underneath the head rest and attach the hook
to the tether anchor located on the back of the seat.
• Tighten all three straps as you
push the child restraint rearward
and downward into the seat.
Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
• To install a child restraint, first, pull enough of the seat belt webbing from
the retractor to route it through the belt path of the child restraint and
slide the latch plate into the buckle.
• Next, extract all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor and then allow
the belt to retract into the retractor. Finally, pull on any excess webbing
to tighten the lap portion around the child restraint. Any seat belt system
will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if
necessary.
• Once you have completed securing the child restraint with the seat belt,
secure the top tether strap. The tether strap should be attached to the
tether anchor on the rear of the seatback using the most direct path. For
the outboard seating positions, route the tether underneath the head
rest and attach the hook to the tether anchor located on the back of the
seat.
