Chrysler 2011 200 - User Guide - Manual (Page 13)

• Child seats with fixed lower attachments must be installed in the outboard positions only. Child
seats with flexible lower attachments can be used in all three seating positions.
• Never install LATCH-compatible child seats such that two seats share a common lower
anchorage. If you are installing LATCH-compatible child restraints in adjacent rear seating
positions, you can use either the lower anchors or the vehicle seat belt in the outboard seating
position, but the center seating position must use the vehicle seat belt. Always use the top
tether anchorage with a forward facing child seat.
• The rear seat lower anchorages are round
bars, located at the rear of the seat cushion
where it meets the seatback. They are just
visible when you lean into the rear seat to
install the child restraint. You will easily feel
them if you run your finger along the
intersection of the seatback and seat cushion
surfaces.
• In addition, there are tether strap anchorages
behind each rear seating position located in
the panel between the rear seatback and the
rear window. These tether strap anchorages
are under a plastic cover.
• 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 seat cover material.
• Then rotate the tether anchorage cover directly behind the seat where you are placing the child
restraint and attach the tether strap to the anchorage, being careful to route the tether strap to
provide the most direct path between the anchor and the child restraint.
• 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.
