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

CHILD RESTRAINTS
• Children 12 years and under should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if available.
According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats rather
than in the front.
• Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in
proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
Installing The LATCH - Compatible Child Restraint System
• Your vehicle's second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraint anchorage
system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren.
• The two rear seating positions have lower anchorages that are capable of accommodating
LATCH-compatible child seats having flexible, webbing mounted lower attachments or fixed
lower attachments.
• The rear seat lower anchorages are round
bars, located at the rear of the seat cushion
where it meets the seatback. The rear seat
lower anchors can be readily identified by the
symbol
located on the seatback directly
above the anchorages and are just visible
when you lean into the rear seat to install the
child restraint.
• The top tether strap anchorages are located in the trunk behind the rear seatback. The access
ports to the top tether anchorages are directly behind the seat headrests 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.
• If lowered, raise the convertible top.
NOTE: The convertible top must be in the UP position to access the tether anchor.
• Open the access port cover behind the seat where you are placing the child restraint.
• Push the tether strap and hook through the
access port and down into the trunk.
NOTE: Route the tether strap to provide the
most direct path from the child seat to the anchor.
• From inside the trunk, open the access cover
on the carpet covering the back of the seat
and attach the tether strap hook to the
anchor.
