2010 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE child lock

WARNING!(Continued)
• 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 manufac-
turer’s directions exactly when installing an
infant or child restraint.
• A rearward-facing infant restraint should
only be used in a rear seat. A rearward-
facing infant 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 for getting the most out of
your child restraint:
• Before buying any restraint system, make
sure that it has a label certifying that it meets
all applicable Safety Standards. Chrysler
Group LLC also recommends that you try a
child restraint in the vehicle seats 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.
• Except for the second row center seating
position, all passenger seat belts are
equipped with cinching latch plates. The
second row center position has an automatic
locking retractor. Both types of seat belts are
designed to keep the lap portion tight
around the child restraint so that it is not
necessary to use a locking clip. If the seat
belt has a cinching latch plate, pulling up on
the shoulder portion of the lap/shoulder belt
will tighten the belt (the cinching latch plate
will keep the belt tight; however, any seat belt
system will loosen with time, so check the
belt occasionally and pull it tight if neces-
sary). For the second row center seat belt
with the automatic locking retractor, pull the
belt from the retractor until there is enough
allowance to pass it through the child re-
straint and slide the latch plate into the
buckle. Then, pull the belt until it is fully extended from the retractor. Allow the belt to
return into the retractor, pulling on the excess
webbing to tighten the lap portion around the
child restraint. For additional information, re-
fer to
Automatic Locking Mode .
• In the rear seat, you may have trouble tight-
ening the lap/shoulder belt on the child re-
straint because the buckle or latch plate is
too close to the belt path opening on the
restraint. Disconnect the latch plate from the
buckle and twist the short buckle-end belt
several times to shorten it. Insert the latch
plate into the buckle with the release button
facing out.
• If the belt still cannot be tightened, or if
pulling and pushing on the restraint loosens
the belt, disconnect the latch plate from the
buckle, turn the buckle around, and insert
the latch plate into the buckle again. If you
still cannot make the child restraint secure,
try a different seating position.
• Buckle the child into the restraint exactly as
the manufacturer’s instructions tell you.
• When your child restraint is not in use, se-
cure it in the vehicle with the seat belt or

WARNING!
Do not use the cargo tie downs located on the
load floor. Improper usage of the tether can
lead to a failure of an infant or child restraint.
The child could be badly injured or killed.
Many, but not all restraint systems will be
equipped with separate straps on each side,
with each having a hook or connector for
attachment to the lower anchorage and a
means of adjusting the tension in the strap.
Forward-facing toddler restraints and some
rear-facing infant restraints will also be
equipped with a tether strap, a hook for attach-
ment to the tether strap anchorage and a
means of adjusting the tension of the strap.
First, loosen the child seat adjusters on the
lower straps and on the tether strap so that you
can more easily attach the hooks or connectors
to the vehicle anchorages. Next, attach the
lower hooks or connectors over the top of the
anchorage bars, pushing aside the seat cover
material. Then, locate the tether anchorage
directly behind the seat where you are placing
the child restraint 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 restraint.
There are
two top tether anchorages located on the
back of the seat, behind the gap panel. They
are not visible until you fold the gap panel
down. Do not use the cargo tie down hooks
located on the floor behind the seat. Finally,
tighten both straps as you push the child
restraint rearward and downward into the seat,
removing slack in the straps according to the
child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING!
Improper installation of a child restraint to the
ISOFIX anchorages can lead to failure of an
infant or child restraint. The child could be
badly injured or killed. Follow the manufactur-
er’s directions exactly when installing an in-
fant or child restraint. Installing Child Restraints Using the
Vehicle Seat Belts
The passenger seat belts are equipped with
either cinching latch plates or Automatic Lock-
ing Retractors (ALR), which are designed to
keep the lap portion tight around the child
restraint so that it is not necessary to use a
locking clip. If the seat belt has a cinching latch
plate, pulling up on the shoulder portion of the
lap/shoulder belt will tighten the belt. The
cinching latch plate will keep the belt tight;
however, any seat belt system will loosen with
time, so check the belt occasionally and pull it
tight if necessary.
For seat belts having an Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR), pull the belt from the retractor
until there is enough allowance to pass it
through the child restraint and slide the latch
plate into the buckle. Then, pull the belt until it
is fully extended from the retractor. Allow the
belt to return into the retractor, pulling on the
excess webbing to tighten the lap portion
around the child restraint. Refer to “Automatic
Locking Mode”.

WARNING!(Continued)
•Active Head Restraints may be deployed if
they are struck by an object such as a hand,
foot or loose cargo. To avoid accidental
deployment of the Active Head Restraint
ensure that all cargo is secured, as loose
cargo could contact the Active Head Re-
straint during sudden stops. Failure to fol-
low this warning could cause personal injury
if the Active Head Restraint is deployed.
Head Restraints — Rear Seats
The head restraints on the outboard seats are
not adjustable. They automatically fold forward
when the rear seat is folded to a load floor
position but do not return to their normal posi-
tion when the rear seat is raised. After returning
either seat to its upright position, raise the head
restraint until it locks in place. The outboard
headrests are not removable.
The center head restraint has limited adjust-
ment. Lift upward on the head restraint to raise
it, or push downward on the head restraint to
lower it.WARNING!
Sitting in a seat with the head restraint in its
lowered position could result in serious injury
or death in a collision. Always make sure the
outboard head restraints are in their upright
positions when the seat is to be occupied.
NOTE:
For proper routing of a Child Seat Tether
refer to “Occupant Restraints” in “Things to
Know Before Starting Your Vehicle” for fur-
ther information.
60/40 Split Rear Seat
To Lower Rear Seat
Either side of the rear seat can be lowered to
allow for extended cargo space and still main-
tain some rear seating room.
NOTE:
Be sure that the front seats are fully upright
and positioned forward. This will allow the
rear seatback to fold down easily.
1. Pull upward on the release lever to release
the seat.

NOTE:
•Do not fold the 60% rear seat down with
the left outboard or rear center seat belt
buckled.
• Do not fold the 40% rear seat down with
the right outboard seat belt buckled.
2. Fold the rear seat completely forward.
To Raise Rear Seat
Raise the rear seatback and lock it into place. If
interference from the cargo area prevents the
seatback from fully locking, you will have diffi-
culty returning the seat to its proper position.WARNING!
• Be certain that the seatback is securely
locked into position. If the seatback is not
securely locked into position the seat will
not provide the proper stability for child
seats and/or passengers. An improperly
latched seat could cause serious injury.
• The cargo area in the rear of the vehicle
(with the rear seatbacks in the locked-up or
folded down position) should not be used
as a play area by children when the vehicle
is in motion. They could be seriously in-
jured in a collision. Children should be
seated and using the proper restraint sys-
tem.
Reclining Rear SeatTo recline the seatback, lift the lever located on
the outboard side of the seat, lean back and
release the lever at the desired position. To
return the seatback, lift the lever, lean forward
and release the lever.
WARNING!
Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that
the shoulder belt is no longer resting against
your chest. In a collision you could slide under
the seat belt, which could result in serious
injury or death.

STARTING PROCEDURESBefore starting your vehicle, adjust your seat,
adjust the inside and outside mirrors, fasten
your seat belt, and if present, instruct all other
occupants to buckle their seat belts.
WARNING!
Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leav-
ing unattended children in a vehicle is danger-
ous for a number of reasons. A child or others
could be seriously or fatally injured. Do not
leave the key fob in the ignition switch. A child
could operate power windows, other controls,
or move the vehicle.
Automatic TransmissionThe shift lever must be in the NEUTRAL or
PARK position before you can start the engine.
Apply the brakes before shifting into any driv-
ing gear.
CAUTION!
Damage to the transmission may occur if the
following precautions are not observed:
•Shift into PARK only after the vehicle has
come to a complete stop.
• Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the
vehicle has come to a complete stop and
the engine is at idle speed.
• Do not shift from REVERSE, PARK, or
NEUTRAL into any forward gear when the
engine is above idle speed.
• Before shifting into any gear, make sure
your foot is firmly on the brake pedal.
Using Fob With Integrated Key (Tip Start)

•This light only shows that the parking
brake is applied. It does not show the
degree of brake application.
When parking on a hill, it is important to turn the
front wheels toward the curb on a downhill
grade and away from the curb on an uphill
grade. Apply the parking brake before placing
the shift lever in PARK, otherwise the load on
the transmission locking mechanism may make
it difficult to move the shift lever out of PARK.
The parking brake should always be applied
whenever the driver is not in the vehicle.
WARNING!
• Never use the PARK position as a substi-
tute for the parking brake. Always apply the
parking brake fully when parked to guard
against vehicle movement and possible
injury or damage.
•
Never leave children alone in a vehicle.
Leaving unattended children in a vehicle is
dangerous for a number of reasons. A child
or others could be seriously or fatally injured.

WARNING! (Continued)
• Do not leave the key fob in the ignition
switch. A child could operate power win-
dows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
• Be sure the parking brake is fully disen-
gaged before driving; failure to do so can
lead to brake failure and a collision.
• Always fully apply the parking brake when
leaving your vehicle, or it may roll and
cause damage or injury. Also be certain to
leave the transmission in PARK. Failure to
do so may allow the vehicle to roll and
cause damage or injury.
