2018 JEEP COMPASS child seat

2. Route the tether strap to provide the most
direct path for the strap between the an-
chor and the child seat. If your vehicle is
equipped with adjustable rear head re-
straints, raise the head restraint, and
where possible, route the tether strap un-
der 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.
3. Attach the tether strap hook of the child
restraint to the top tether anchorage as
shown in the diagram.
4. Remove slack in the tether strap accord-
ing to the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions.
WARNING!
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap
could lead to increased head motion
and possible injury to the child. Use
only the anchorage position directly be-
hind the child seat to secure a child
restraint top tether strap.
WARNING!
• If your vehicle is equipped with a split
rear seat, make sure the tether strap
does not slip into the opening between
the seatbacks as you remove slack in
the strap.
WARNING!
The child restraint owner’s manual pro-
vides instructions for installing the child
restraint using the seat belt. Read and
follow these instructions to install the
child seat properly.
Suitability of Passenger Seats for I-Size
Child Restraint System Use
The rear outboard seats of the vehicle are
type-approved to house the state-of-the-art
i-Size child restraint systems.
These child restraint systems, built and type-
approved according to the i-Size (ECE R129)
standard, ensure better safety conditions to
carry children on board a vehicle:• The child must be transported rearward
facing until 15 months:
• Child restraint system protection is in-
creased in the event of a side collision:
• The use of the ISOFIX system is promoted
to avoid faulty installation of the child re-
straint system:
• Efficiency in the choice of the child re-
straint system, which isn't made according
to weight anymore but according to the
child's height, is increased:
• Compatibility between the vehicle seats
and the child restraint systems is better:
the i- Size child restraint systems can be
considered as "Super ISOFIX"; this means
that they can be perfectly fitted in type-
approved i-Size seats, but can also be fitted
in ISOFIX (ECE R44) type-approved seats.
NOTE:
The vehicle seats, i-Size type-approved, are
marked by the symbol shown in fig. XX.

SAFETY TIPS
Transporting Passengers
NEVER TRANSPORT PASSENGERS IN THE
CARGO AREA.
WARNING!
• Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior
heat build-up may cause serious injury
or death.
• 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 seriously
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.
Exhaust Gas
WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They con-
tain carbon monoxide (CO), which is col-
orless and odorless. Breathing it can make
you unconscious and can eventually poi-
son you. To avoid breathing (CO), follow
these safety tips:
• Do not run the engine in a closed garage
or in confined areas any longer than
needed to move your vehicle in or out of
the area.
• If you are required to drive with the
trunk/liftgate/rear doors open, make
sure that all windows are closed and the
climate control BLOWER switch is set at
high speed. DO NOT use the recircula-
tion mode.
• If it is necessary to sit in a parked
vehicle with the engine running, adjust
your heating or cooling controls to force
WARNING!
outside air into the vehicle. Set the
blower at high speed.
The best protection against carbon monoxide
entry into the vehicle body is a properly
maintained engine exhaust system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of
the exhaust system, when exhaust fumes can
be detected inside the vehicle, or when the
underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged,
have a competent mechanic inspect the com-
plete exhaust system and adjacent body ar-
eas for broken, damaged, deteriorated, or
mispositioned parts. Open seams or loose
connections could permit exhaust fumes to
seep into the passenger compartment. In
addition, inspect the exhaust system each
time the vehicle is raised for lubrication or oil
change. Replace as required.

reasons. A child or others could be seri-
ously or fatally injured. Children should

brake, brake pedal or the transmission
gear selector.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children, and do not leave the ignition of

parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior
heat build-up may cause serious injury
or death.
Start the engine with the gear selector in the
NEUTRAL or PARK position. Apply the brake

Stopping The Engine
Vehicles Equipped With A Mechanical Key Fob:
To turn off the engine, proceed as follows:
1. Park the car in a position that does not
cause a traffic hazard.
2. Place the transmission in gear (models

transmission in PARK (P) (models with
automatic transmission).
3. With the engine idling, place the ignition
in the STOP/OFF position.
4. Remove the key from the ignition when
the engine is shut off.

within a few seconds. The engine will shut
down, and the ignition will be placed in the
RUN position.Turning Off the car (placing the ignition from
the RUN position to the STOP position), the

in RUN will sound a short chime that reminds
the driver to place the ignition to STOP.
When the ignition is in the STOP/OFF posi-
tion, the window switches remains active for

fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the gear selector.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children, and do not leave the ignition of
a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-
N-Go in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A
