2016 JEEP WRANGLER belt

Tether Anchorage Weight Limit
Always use the tether anchor when using the seat belt to install a forward facing child
restraint, up to the recommended weight limit of the child restraint.
To Install A Child Seat Using An ALR:
1. Pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to pass it through the beltpath of the child restraint. Do not twist the belt webbing in the belt path.
2. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.”
3. Pull on the webbing to make the lap portion tight against the child seat.
4. To lock the seat belt, pull down on the shoulder part of the belt until you have pulled all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor. Then, allow the webbing to
retract back into the retractor. As the webbing retracts, you will hear a clicking
sound. This means the seat belt is now in the Automatic Locking mode.
5. Try to pull the webbing out of the retractor. If it is locked, you should not be able to pull out any webbing. If the retractor is not locked, repeat the last step.
6. Finally, pull up on any extra webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child restraint while you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the
vehicle seat.
7. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the seating position has a top tether anchorage, connect the tether strap to the anchorage and tighten the tether strap.
See below for directions to attach a tether anchor.
8. 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 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any
direction.
Installing The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower Anchors Or Vehicle Seat
Belt):
When installing a forward-facing child restraint, always secure the top tether strap,
up to the tether anchor weight limit, whether the child restraint is installed with the
lower anchors or the vehicle seat belt.
Tether Strap Installation
1. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between theanchor and the child seat.
2. If your vehicle is equipped with adjustable rear head restraints, raise the head restraint, and where possible, route the tether strap under the head restraint and
between the two posts. If not possible, lower the head restraint and pass the
tether strap around the outboard side of the head restraint.

WARNING!
•Adjusting a seat while driving may be dangerous. Moving a seat while driving could
result in loss of control which could cause a collision and serious injury or death.
• Seats should be adjusted before fastening the seat belts and while the vehicleis parked. Serious injury or death could result from a poorly adjusted seat belt.
Manual Seat Height Adjustment — If Equipped
The driver's seat height can be raised or lowered by using the ratcheting handle,
located on the outboard side of the seat. Pull upward on the handle to raise the seat,
push downward on the handle to lower the seat.
Front Seatback Recline
Lean forward before lifting the handle,
then lean back to the desired position
and release the handle. Lift the handle to
return the seatback to an upright
position.
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.

WARNING!
• It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle.In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be severely injured
or killed. Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and using a seat belt properly.
• 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 you
or others to be severely injured or killed.
TILT STEERING COLUMN
This feature allows you to tilt the steering column upward or downward. The tilt lever
is located on the steering column, below the turn signal lever.
Push down on the lever to unlock the steering column. With one hand firmly on the
steering wheel, move the steering column up or down, as desired. Pull upwards on
the lever to lock the column firmly in place.
WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering column while driving. Adjusting the steering column
while driving or driving with the steering column unlocked, could cause the driver
to lose control of the vehicle. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious
injury or death.

7. Open the swing gate and lower the top.
NOTE:
Ensure the fabric does not overhang the
sides of the vehicle.
• To raise the soft top, perform theabove steps in the opposite order.
CAUTION!
• Do not run a fabric top through an automatic car wash. Window scratches and
wax buildup may result.
• Do not lower the top when the temperature is below 41°F (5°C). Damage to the
top may result.
• Do not lower the top when the windows are dirty. Grit may scratch the window.
• Do not move your vehicle until the top has been either fully attached to the
windshield frame, or fully lowered.
• The soft top is not designed to carry any additional loads such as roof racks,
spare tires, building, hunting, or camping supplies, and/or luggage, etc. Also,
it was not designed as a structural member of the vehicle and, thus, cannot
properly carry any additional loads other than environmental (rain, snow, etc.).
WARNING!
• Do not drive the vehicle with the rear window curtain up unless the sidecurtains are also open. Dangerous exhaust gases which can kill could enter the
vehicle.
• The fabric upper doors and fabric top are designed only for protection against
the elements. Do not rely on them to contain occupants within the vehicle or to
protect against injury during an accident. Remember, always wear seat belts.
