2018 Ram ProMaster City child seat

9. Test that the child restraint is installedtightly 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.
Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so
check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if
necessary.
Installing Child Restraints Using The Top
Tether Anchorage (Commercial Vehicle)
This vehicle is equipped with a tether strap
anchorage located behind the front passen-
ger seatback, near the floor. When installing a
forward-facing child restraint, always secure
the top tether strap to the tether anchorage.
1. Look behind the front passenger seat to find the tether anchorage. You may need
to move the seat forward to provide better
access to the tether anchorage. 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 head restraints,
raise the head restraint, and where pos-
sible, 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 out-
board 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.
