Child Restraints - Jeep Wrangler 2012 User Manual

• Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags need room to inflate. Do not lean
against the door or window. Sit upright in the center of the seat.
• Being too close to the Seat-Mounted Side Air Bag during deployment could
cause you to be severely injured or killed.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved in
another collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer
immediately.

CHILD RESTRAINTS

• Children 12 years and under should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if
available. According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in
the rear seats rather than in the front.
• Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small
children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted
for ignoring it.
Installing The LATCH - Compatible Child Restraint System
• Your vehicle's second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraint
anchorage system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for
CHildren.
• Four-Door models: The rear outboard seating positions have lower anchors, and all
three rear seating positions have top tether anchors. Child seats with fixed lower
attachments must be installed in the outboard positions only. Child seats with flexible
lower attachments can be used in all three seating positions. Never install
LATCH-compatible child seats such that two seats share a common lower
anchorage.

WARNING!

• Two-door models can accommodate
flexible LATCH-compatible child seats
in the two outboard seating positions
only. Both rear seating positions have
lower anchors and top tether anchors.
Child seats with fixed or flexible
LATCH-compatible attachments can be
installed in either outboard seating
position.
