2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN fold seats

CHILD RESTRAINTS
• Children 12 years and under should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, ifavailable. 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
• Each vehicle, except commercial cargo vehicles, is equipped with the childrestraint anchorage system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and
Tether for CHildren.
• Two LATCH child restraint anchorage systems are installed on all second-row seats and in the center position on all third row fold-in-floor seats.
• Second-row seats also feature tether strap anchorages, located in the rear surface of the seatback.
• In addition, all third row fold-in-floor seats are equipped with a child restraint tether anchor at the center seating position.
Installing The Lower Attachments:
• The vehicle lower anchorages are round bars located at the rear of the seat cushion where it meets the seatback.
• Loosen the child seat adjusters on thelower child restraint attachment straps
to ease the installation.
NOTE: It is recommended to loosen the top
tether strap and route it loosely prior to
securing the lower anchors so the top tether
strap is not trapped between the vehicle
seat and child restraint.
• Attach the lower child restraint attachment straps to the vehicle’s lower anchor bars. Ensure that the lower attachment strap is firmly engaged and that the hook is
secure.
• Tighten the lower attachment strap while firmly pushing the child restraint rearward and downward into the vehicle seat. Remove all slack in the lower
attachment straps.

CAUTION!
The storage bin cover must be locked and flat to avoid damage from contact
with the front seat tracks, which have minimal clearance to the cover.
WARNING!
In a collision, serious injury could result if the seat storage bin covers are not
properly latched.
• Do not drive the vehicle with the storage bin covers open.
• Keep the storage bin covers closed and latched while the vehicle is inmotion.
• Do not use a storage bin latch as a tie down.
THIRD ROW POWER RECLINER
• The power recline feature, located on the side of the seat cushion, adjusts the seatback angle forward/rearward for occupant comfort.
Third Row Power Seat Switch
• A one-touch power folding seat switch is located in the left rear trim panel as
part of a switch bank.
• Left and right third row seats can be folded individually or together. The
third row power folding seats adjust to
multiple positions.
• The switch is only functional when the liftgate is open and the vehicle is in
PARK.
NOTE:
• Disconnect the center shoulder belt from the small buckle and lower the head restraints before attempting to fold/stow the power third row seats.
• To abort seat operation while the seat is in motion, press a different seat position selector switch to stop the seat. Once the seat stops moving, then the desired
position can be selected.
• The third row power seat system includes obstacle detection for safe operation. When the system detects an obstacle, the motors will stop and reverse the motion a short
distance to move the seat away from the obstacle. Should this occur, remove the
obstacle and press the button again for the desired position.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for manual third row seat foldinginstructions.
