Jeep 2014 Cherokee - User Guide - Manual (Page 24)

• The center seating position in this vehicle has a single dedicated anchorage. Use
anchorages 3 and 4 to install a child seat in the center position. Do not use
anchorages 2 and 3 to install a child seat. If you are installing three child
restraints, you must use the seatbelt to install the center child restraint and you
must use the LATCH anchors for the outboard position on the left side. You can use
either the LATCH anchors or the vehicle’s seat belt for installing the child seat in
the outboard position on the right side. See the vehicle owner’s manual for more
information about center LATCH.
Installing The Child Restraint Using The LATCH Lower Anchors
NOTE:
Never “share” a LATCH anchorage with two or more child restraints.
1. Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and on the tether strap of the child seat
so that you can more easily attach the hooks or connectors to the vehicle
anchorages.
2. Attach the lower hooks or connectors of the child restraint to the lower anchorages
in the selected seating position.
3. If the child restraint has a tether strap, connect it to the top tether anchorage. See
below for directions to attach a tether anchor.
4. Tighten all of the straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward
into the seat. Remove slack in the straps according to the child restraint
manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the
child seat at the belt path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any
direction.
