There are different sizes and types of restraints for

children from newborn size to the child almost

large enough for an adult safety belt. Always check

the child seat Owner’s Manual to make sure you

have the correct seat for your child. Carefully read

and follow all the instructions and warnings in the

child restraint Owner’s Manual and on all the

labels attached to the child restraint.

Before buying any restraint system, make sure that

it has a label certifying that it meets all applicable

Safety Standards. You should also make sure that

you can install it in the vehicle where you will use it.

SAFETY

(Continued)

Infant And Child Restraints

Safety experts recommend that children ride

rear-facing in the vehicle until they are two years

old or until they reach either the height or weight

limit of their rear-facing child restraint. Two types of

child restraints can be used rear-facing: infant

carriers and convertible child seats.
The infant carrier is only used rear-facing in the

vehicle. It is recommended for children from birth

until they reach the weight or height limit of the

infant carrier. Convertible child seats can be used

either rear-facing or forward-facing in the vehicle.

Convertible child seats often have a higher weight

limit in the rear-facing direction than infant carriers

do, so they can be used rear-facing by children who

have outgrown their infant carrier but are still less

than at least two years old. Children should remain

rear-facing until they reach the highest weight or

height allowed by their convertible child seat.

Older Children And Child Restraints

Children who are two years old or who have

outgrown their rear-facing convertible child seat

can ride forward-facing in the vehicle.

Forward-facing child seats and convertible child

seats used in the forward-facing direction are for

children who are over two years old or who have

outgrown the rear-facing weight or height limit of

their rear-facing convertible child seat. Children

should remain in a forward-facing child seat with a

harness for as long as possible, up to the highest

weight or height allowed by the child seat.
All children whose weight or height is above the

forward-facing limit for the child seat should use a

belt-positioning booster seat until the vehicle’s

seat belts fit properly. If the child cannot sit with

knees bent over the vehicle’s seat cushion while

the child’s back is against the seatback, they

should use a belt-positioning booster seat. The

child and belt-positioning booster seat are held in

the vehicle by the seat belt.

WARNING!



Never place a rear-facing child restraint in

front of an air bag. A deploying passenger

front air bag can cause death or serious injury

to a child 12 years or younger, including a

child in a rear-facing child restraint.



Never install a rear-facing child restraint in the

front seat of a vehicle. Only use a rear-facing

child restraint in the rear seat. If the vehicle

does not have a rear seat, do not transport a

rear-facing child restraint in that vehicle.

WARNING!



Improper installation can lead to failure of an

infant or child restraint. It could come loose in

a collision. The child could be badly injured or

killed. Follow the child restraint manufac

turer’s directions exactly when installing an

infant or child restraint.



After a child restraint is installed in the

vehicle, do not move the vehicle seat forward

or rearward because it can loosen the child

restraint attachments. Remove the child

restraint before adjusting the vehicle seat

position. When the vehicle seat has been

adjusted, reinstall the child restraint.



When your child restraint is not in use, secure

it in the vehicle with the seat belt or LATCH

anchorages, or remove it from the vehicle. Do

not leave it loose in the vehicle. In a sudden

stop or accident, it could strike the occupants

or seatbacks and cause serious personal

injury.

SAFETY

317

Children Too Large For Booster Seats

Children who are large enough to wear the

shoulder belt comfortably, and whose legs are long

enough to bend over the front of the seat when

their back is against the seatback, should use the

seat belt in a rear seat. Use this simple 5-step test

to decide whether the child can use the vehicle’s

seat belt alone:
1. Can the child sit all the way back against the

back of the vehicle seat?

2. Do the child’s knees bend comfortably over

the front of the vehicle seat while the child is

still sitting all the way back?

3. Does the shoulder belt cross the child’s

shoulder between the neck and arm?

4. Is the lap part of the belt as low as possible,

touching the child’s thighs and not the

stomach?

5. Can the child stay seated like this for the whole

trip?

If the answer to any of these questions was “no”,

then the child still needs to use a booster seat in

this vehicle. If the child is using the lap/shoulder

belt, check seat belt fit periodically and make sure

the seat belt buckle is latched. A child’s squirming

or slouching can move the belt out of position. If

the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move

the child closer to the center of the vehicle, or use

a booster seat to position the seat belt on the child

correctly.

Recommendations For Attaching Child Restraints

WARNING!

Never allow a child to put the shoulder belt

under an arm or behind their back. In a crash,

the shoulder belt will not protect a child properly,

which may result in serious injury or death. A

child must always wear both the lap and

shoulder portions of the seat belt correctly.

Lower Anchors And Tethers For CHildren

(LATCH) Restraint System

LATCH Label

Your vehicle is equipped with the child restraint

anchorage system called LATCH, which stands for

Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren. The

LATCH system has three vehicle anchor points for

installing LATCH-equipped child seats. There are

two lower anchorages located at the back of the

seat cushion where it meets the seatback and one

top tether anchorage located behind the seating

position. These anchorages are used to install

LATCH-equipped child seats without using the

vehicle’s seat belts. Some seating positions may

have a top tether anchorage but no lower

anchorages. In these seating positions, the seat

belt must be used with the top tether anchorage to

install the child restraint. Please see the following

table for more information.

Frequently Asked Questions About Installing Child Restraints With LATCH

What is the weight limit (child’s weight + weight of the child

restraint) for using the LATCH anchorage system to attach the

child restraint?

65 lbs (29.5 kg)

Use the LATCH anchorage system until the combined weight of

the child and the child restraint is 65 lbs (29.5 kg). Use the

seat belt and tether anchor instead of the LATCH system once

the combined weight is more than 65 lbs (29.5 kg).

Can the LATCH anchorages and the seat belt be used together

to attach a rear-facing or forward-facing child restraint?

Do not use the seat belt when you use the LATCH anchorage

system to attach a rear-facing or forward-facing child restraint.
Booster seats may be attached to the LATCH anchorages if

allowed by the booster seat manufacturer. See your booster

seat owner’s manual for more information.

Can a child seat be installed in the center position using the

inner LATCH lower anchorages from the outboard seating

positions?

Two Door Models – No

Center Seating Position

Four Door Models – Yes

Four Door Only: You can install child restraints with flexible

lower anchors in the center position. The inner anchorages are

18.5 inches (484 mm) apart. Do not install child restraints

with rigid lower anchors in the center position.

Can two child restraints be attached using a common lower

LATCH anchorage?

Never “share” a LATCH anchorage with two or more child

restraints. If the center position does not have dedicated

LATCH lower anchorages, use the seat belt to install a child

seat in the center position next to a child seat using the LATCH

anchorages in an outboard position.

Can the rear-facing child restraint touch the back of the front

passenger seat?

Yes

The child seat may touch the back of the front passenger seat

if the child restraint manufacturer also allows contact. See

your child restraint owner’s manual for more information.

Can the rear head restraints be removed?

Two Door Models – No

Four Door Models – Yes

Two Door Models — None
Four Door — The center head restraint can be removed if it

interferes with the installation of the child restraint.

Tether Strap Anchorages (Four-Door Models)

LATCH-compatible child restraint systems will be

equipped with a rigid bar or a flexible strap on each

side. Each will have a hook or connector to attach

to the lower anchorage and a way to tighten the

connection to the anchorage. Forward-facing child

restraints and some rear-facing child restraints will

also be equipped with a tether strap. The tether

strap will have a hook at the end to attach to the

top tether anchorage and a way to tighten the strap

after it is attached to the anchorage.

Center Seat LATCH

Two-Door Models:

Four-Door Models:
Do not install child restraints with rigid lower

attachments in the center seating position. Only

install this type of child restraint in the outboard

seating positions. Child restraints with flexible,

webbing mounted lower attachments can be

installed in any rear seating position.

Always follow the directions of the child restraint

manufacturer when installing your child restraint.

Not all child restraint systems will be installed as

described here.

To Install A LATCH-Compatible Child

Restraint

If the selected seating position has a Switchable

Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) seat belt, stow

the seat belt, following the instructions below. See

page 322 to check what type of seat belt each

seating position has.
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. Place the child seat between the lower

anchorages for that seating position. If the

second row seat can be reclined, you may

recline the seat and/or raise the head restraint

(if adjustable) to get a better fit. If the rear seat

can be moved forward and rearward in the

vehicle, you may wish to move it to its

rear-most position to make room for the child

seat. You may also move the front seat forward

to allow more room for the child seat.

WARNING!

This vehicle does not have a center seating

position. Do not use the center lower LATCH

anchorages to install a child seat in the center of

the back seat.

WARNING!

Never use the same lower anchorage to attach

more than one child restraint. If you are

installing LATCH-compatible child restraints next

to each other, you must use the seat belt for the

center position. You can then use either the

LATCH anchors or the vehicle’s seat belt for

installing child seats in the outboard positions.
Please see

page 321 for typical installation

instructions.

322

SAFETY

3. Attach the lower hooks or connectors of the

child restraint to the lower anchorages in the

selected seating position.

4. If the child restraint has a tether strap, connect

it to the top tether anchorage. See

page 325 for directions to attach a tether

anchor.

5. 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.

6. 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.

How To Stow An Unused Switchable-ALR

(ALR) Seat Belt:

When using the LATCH attaching system to install

a child restraint, stow all ALR seat belts that are not

being used by other occupants or being used to

secure child restraints. An unused belt could injure

a child if they play with it and accidentally lock the

seat belt retractor. Before installing a child

restraint using the LATCH system, buckle the seat

belt behind the child restraint and out of the child’s

reach. If the buckled seat belt interferes with the

child restraint installation, instead of buckling it

behind the child restraint, route the seat belt

through the child restraint belt path and then

buckle it. Do not lock the seat belt. Remind all

children in the vehicle that the seat belts are not

toys and that they should not play with them.

Installing Child Restraints Using The

Vehicle Seat Belt

Child restraint systems are designed to be secured

in vehicle seats by lap belts or the lap belt portion

of a lap/shoulder belt.

The seat belts in the passenger seating positions

are equipped with a Switchable Automatic Locking

Retractor (ALR) that is designed to keep the lap

portion of the seat belt tight around the child

restraint so that it is not necessary to use a locking

clip. The ALR retractor can be “switched” into a

locked mode by pulling all of the webbing out of the

retractor and then letting the webbing retract back

into the retractor. If it is locked, the ALR will make

a clicking noise while the webbing is pulled back

into the retractor.
Refer to the “Automatic Locking Mode” description

in “Switchable Automatic Locking Retractors

(ALR)”

page 300 for additional information on

ALR.
Please see the table below and the following

sections for more information.

WARNING!



Improper installation of a child restraint to the

LATCH anchorages can lead to failure of the

restraint. The child could be badly injured or

killed. Follow the child restraint manufac

turer’s directions exactly when installing an

infant or child restraint.



Child restraint anchorages are designed to

withstand only those loads imposed by

correctly-fitted child restraints. Under no

circumstances are they to be used for adult

seat belts, harnesses, or for attaching other

items or equipment to the vehicle.

SAFETY

325

1. Place the child seat in the center of the

seating position. If the second row seat can

be reclined, you may recline the seat and/or

raise the head restraint (if adjustable) to get a

better fit. If the rear seat can be moved

forward and rearward in the vehicle, you may

wish to move it to its rear-most position to

make room for the child seat. You may also

move the front seat forward to allow more

room for the child seat.

2. Pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the

retractor to pass it through the belt path of the

child restraint. Do not twist the belt webbing in

the belt path.

3. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you

hear a “click.”

4. Pull on the webbing to make the lap portion

tight against the child seat.

5. To lock the seat belt, pull down on the shoulder

part of the belt until you have pulled all the

seat belt webbing out of the retractor. Then,

allow the webbing to retract back into the

retractor. As the webbing retracts, you will hear

a clicking sound. This means the seat belt is

now in the Automatic Locking mode.

6. Try to pull the webbing out of the retractor. If it

is locked, you should not be able to pull out any

webbing. If the retractor is not locked, repeat

step 5.

7. Finally, pull up on any excess webbing to

tighten the lap portion around the child

restraint while you push the child restraint

rearward and downward into the vehicle seat.

8. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and

the seating position has a top tether

anchorage, connect the tether strap to the

anchorage and tighten the tether strap. See

page 325 for directions to attach a tether

anchor.

9. 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.

Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check

the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.

Installing Child Restraints Using The Top

Tether Anchorage



Follow the child restraint manufacturer’s

directions exactly when installing an infant or

child restraint.

WARNING!

Do not attach a tether strap for a rear-facing car

seat to any location in front of the car seat,

including the seat frame or a tether anchorage.

Only attach the tether strap of a rear-facing car

seat to the tether anchorage that is approved for

that seating position, located behind the top of

the vehicle seat. For the location of approved

tether anchorages in your vehicle, see

page 318.

326

SAFETY

1. Look behind the seating position where you

plan to install the child restraint to find the

tether anchorage. If the seat can be moved,

you may need to move the seat forward to

provide better access to the tether

anchorage. If there is no top tether anchorage

for that seating position, move the child

restraint to another position in the vehicle if

one is available.

2. Route the tether strap to provide the most

direct path for the strap between the anchor

and the child seat. If your vehicle is equipped

with adjustable rear head restraints, raise the

head restraint, and where possible, route the

tether strap under the head restraint and

between the two posts. If not possible, lower

the head restraint and pass the tether strap

around the outboard side of the head restraint.

Floor Mat Safety Information

Always use floor mats designed to fit your vehicle.

Only use a floor mat that does not interfere with the

operation of the pedal assemblies. Only use a floor

mat that is securely attached using the floor mat

fasteners so it cannot slip out of position and

interfere with the pedal assemblies or impair safe

operation of your vehicle in other ways.

WARNING!

An improperly attached, damaged, folded, or

stacked floor mat, or damaged floor mat

fasteners may cause your floor mat to interfere

with the accelerator, brake, or clutch pedals and

cause a loss of vehicle control. To prevent

SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:



ALWAYS securely attach your floor

mat using the floor mat fasteners. DO

NOT install your floor mat upside down

or turn your floor mat over. Lightly pull

to confirm mat is secured using the floor mat

fasteners on a regular basis.



ALWAYS REMOVE THE EXISTING

FLOOR MAT FROM THE VEHICLE before

installing any other floor mat. NEVER

install or stack an additional floor mat

on top of an existing floor mat.



ONLY install floor mats designed to fit your

vehicle. NEVER install a floor mat that cannot

be properly attached and secured to your

vehicle. If a floor mat needs to be replaced,

only use a FCA approved floor mat for the

specific make, model, and year of your

vehicle.



ONLY use the driver’s side floor mat on the

driver’s side floor area. To check for interfer

ence, with the vehicle properly parked with the

engine off, fully depress the accelerator, the

brake, and the clutch pedal (if present) to

check for interference. If your floor mat inter

feres with the operation of any pedal, or is not

secure to the floor, remove the floor mat from

the vehicle and place the floor mat in your

trunk.



ONLY use the passenger’s side floor mat on

the passenger’s side floor area.



ALWAYS make sure objects cannot fall or slide

into the driver’s side floor area when the

vehicle is moving. Objects can become

trapped under accelerator, brake, or clutch

pedals and could cause a loss of vehicle

control.

WARNING!



NEVER place any objects under the floor mat

(e.g., towels, keys, etc.). These objects could

change the position of the floor mat and may

cause interference with the accelerator,

into the vehicle body is a properly maintained

engine exhaust system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of the

exhaust system, when exhaust fumes can be

detected inside the vehicle, or when the underside

or rear of the vehicle is damaged, have an

authorized dealer inspect the complete exhaust

system and adjacent body areas for broken,

damaged, deteriorated, or mispositioned parts.

Open seams or loose connections could permit

exhaust fumes to seep into the passenger

compartment. In addition, inspect the exhaust

system each time the vehicle is raised for

lubrication or oil change. Replace as required.

WARNING!

Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain

carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and

odorless. Breathing it can make you

unconscious and can eventually poison you. To

avoid breathing (CO), follow these safety tips:



Do not run the engine in a closed garage or in

confined areas any longer than needed to

move your vehicle in or out of the area.



If you are required to drive with the trunk/lift

gate/rear doors open, make sure that all

windows are closed and the climate control

BLOWER switch is set at high speed. DO NOT

use the recirculation mode.



If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle with

the engine running, adjust your heating or

cooling controls to force outside air into the

vehicle. Set the blower at high speed.

WARNING!

Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is deadly.

Follow the precautions below to prevent carbon

monoxide poisoning:



Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain

carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas,

which can kill. Never run the engine in a closed

area, such as a garage, and never sit in a parked

vehicle with the engine running for an extended

period. If the vehicle is stopped in an open area

with the engine running for more than a short

period, adjust the ventilation system to force

fresh, outside air into the vehicle.



Guard against carbon monoxide with proper

maintenance. Have the exhaust system

inspected every time the vehicle is raised. Have

any abnormal conditions repaired promptly.

Until repaired, drive with all side windows fully

open.
