Jeep Grand Cherokee Operating Information Manual page 61

Always follow the directions of the child
restraint manufacturer when installing your
child restraint. Not all child restraint sys-
tems will be installed as described here.
When using a Universal ISOFIX child re-
straint system, you can only use approved
child restraint systems with the marking
ECE R44 (release R44/03 or superior) "Uni-
versal ISOFIX".
To Install An ISOFIX 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 the section "Installing Child Re-
straints Using the Vehicle Seat Belt" to check
what type of seat belt each seating position has.
1. Loosen the adjusters on the lower connec-
tors and on the tether strap of the child seat
so that you can more easily attach the
connectors to the vehicle anchorages.
2. Place the child seat between the lower an-
chorages for that seating position. For some
second row seats, you may need to recline
the seat and / or raise the head restraint 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.
3. Attach the connectors of the child restraint to
the lower anchorages in the selected seating
position.
4. If the child restraint has a tether strap, con-
nect it to the top tether anchorage. See the
section "Installing Child Restraints Using the
Top Tether Anchorage" for directions to at-
tach 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 instruc-
tions.
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
25 mm in any direction.
WARNING!
• Improper installation of a child restraint to
the ISOFIX anchorages can lead to failure
of the restraint. The child could be badly
injured or killed. Follow the child restraint
manufacturer's directions exactly when in-
stalling 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 attach-
ing other items or equipment to the ve-
hicle.
• Install the child restraint system when the
vehicle is stationary. The ISOFIX child
restraint system is correctly fixed to the
brackets when you hear the click.
