• Improper installation can lead to
failure of an infant or child re-
straint. It could come loose in a
collision. The child could be badly
injured or killed. Follow the manu-
facturer's directions exactly when
installing an infant or child re-
straint.
• A rearward-facing child restraint
should only be used in a rear seat.
A rearward-facing child restraint in
the front seat may be struck by a
deploying passenger airbag which
may cause severe or fatal injury to
the infant.
Here are some tips on getting the most
out of your child restraint:
• Before buying any restraint system,
WARNING!
make sure that it has a label certifying
that it meets all applicable Safety Stan-
dards. Chrysler Group LLC also recom-
mends that you make sure that you can
install the child restraint in the vehicle
where you will use it, before you buy it.
• The restraint must be appropriate for
your child's weight and height. Check
the label on the restraint for weight and
height limits.
• Carefully follow the instructions that
come with the restraint. If you install the
restraint improperly, it may not work
when you need it.
• Buckle the child into the seat according
to the child restraint manufacturer's di-
rections.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING!
When your child restraint is not in
use, secure it in the vehicle with the
seat belt or remove it from the ve-
hicle. Do not leave it loose in the
vehicle. In a sudden stop or accident,
it could strike the occupants or seat-
backs and cause serious personal
injury.
Installing The Child Restraint System
We urge you to carefully follow the direc-
tions of the manufacturer when installing
your child restraint. Many, but not all re-
straint systems will be equipped with
separate straps on each side, with each
having a hook or connector, and a means
for adjusting the tension in the strap.
