Dodge 2010 Caliber - Manual (Page 82)

First loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and on the
tether strap so that you can more easily attach the hook or
connectors to the vehicle anchorages. Next, attach the
lower hooks or connectors over the top of the seat cover
material. Then attach the tether strap to the anchorage
directly behind the seat where you are placing the child
restraint, being careful to route the tether strap to provide
the most direct path between the anchor and the child
restraint, routing it over the head restraint. Finally,
tighten all three straps as you push the child restraint
rearward and downward into the seat, removing slack in
the straps according to the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions.
NOTE:
• Ensure that the tether strap does not slip into the
opening between the seatbacks as you remove the
slack in the strap.
• When using the LATCH attaching system to install a
child restraint, please ensure that all seat belts not
being used for occupant restraints are stowed and out
of reach of children. It is recommended that before
installing the child restraint, buckle the seat belt so the
seat belt is tucked behind the child restraint. This
should stow the seat belt out of the reach of an
inquisitive child. Remind all children in the vehicle
that the seat belts are not toys and that they should not
play with them. In addition, never leave unattended
children in the vehicle.
WARNING!
Improper installation of a child restraint to the
LATCH anchorages can lead to failure of an infant or
child restraint. The child could be badly injured or
killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly
when installing an infant or child restraint.
