Dodge 2011 Challenger_SRT - User Guide - Manual (Page 17)

• Child seats with flexible or fixed rigid attachments can be installed in all rear
seating positions. Child seats can be installed using the LATCH system in either or
both outboard seating positions or the center position, but not all three at the
same time. If a child seat is installed in an outboard seating position using the
lower anchors, then the vehicle seatbelt must be used for the center position.
• Never install LATCH-compatible child seats such that two seats share a common
lower anchorage.
• 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 anchorage bars, pushing
aside the seat cover material. 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.
• Then rotate the tether anchorage cover directly behind the seat where you are
placing the child restrain 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 restrain.
• 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.
• Rotate the cover over the anchor directly behind the seat where you are placing the
child restraint. These tether strap anchorages are under a plastic cover.
