restraint manufacturer when installing your
child restraint. Not all child restraint systems
will be installed as described here. When using
a Universal ISOFIX child restraint system, you
can only use approved child restraint systems
with the marking ECE R44 (release R44/03 or
superior) “Universal ISOFIX”.
To Install An ISOFIX Child Restraint
1. Loosen the adjusters on the lower
connectors and on the tether strap of the
child seat so that you can more easily
attach the connectors to the vehicle
anchorages.
2. Place the child seat between the lower anchorages for that seating position. For
some second row seats, you may need to
recline the seat and / or raise the head
restraint (if adjustable) to get a better fit.
If the rear seat can be moved forward and rearward in the vehicle, you may wish to
move it to its rear-most position to make
room for the child seat. You may also
move the front seat forward to allow more
room for the child seat.
3. Attach the connectors of the child restraint to the lower anchorages in the
selected seating position.
4. If the child restraint has a tether strap, connect it to the top tether anchorage.
Refer to the section “Installing Child
Restraints Using the Top Tether
Anchorage” for directions to attach a
tether anchor.
5. Tighten all of the straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward
into the seat. Remove slack in the straps
according to the child restraint manufac -
turer’s instructions.

6. 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 25 mm in any direction.Installing Child Restraints Using The Top
Tether Anchorage:
1. Look behind the seating position whereyou plan to install the child restraint to
find the tether anchorage. You may need
to move the seat forward to provide better
access to the tether anchorage. If there is
no top tether anchorage for that seating
position, move the child restraint to
another position in the vehicle if one is
available.
2. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between
the anchor and the child seat. 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.
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
according to the child restraint manufac -
turer’s instructions.

WARNING!
Improper installation of a child restraint
to the ISOFIX anchorages can lead to
failure of the restraint. The child could
be badly injured or killed. Follow the
child restraint manufacturer’s directions
exactly when installing an infant or child
restraint.
Child restraint anchorages are designed
to withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly-fitted child restraints. Under
no circumstances are they to be used for
adult seat belts, harnesses, or for
attaching other items or equipment to
the vehicle.
Install the child restraint system when
the vehicle is stationary. The ISOFIX
child restraint system is correctly fixed to
the brackets when you hear the click.
WARNING!
An incorrectly anchored tether strap
could lead to increased head motion and
possible injury to the child. Use only the
anchorage position directly behind the
child seat to secure a child restraint top
tether strap.
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.

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 condi-
tions to carry children on board a vehicle:
The child must be transported rearward
facing until 15 months:
Child restraint system protection is
increased in the event of a side collision:
The use of the ISOFIX system is promoted
to avoid faulty installation of the child
restraint system:
Efficiency in the choice of the child
restraint 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 Figure XX.
The following table, according to European
standard ECE 129, indicates the possibility
of i-Size child restraint system installation. Key of letters used in the table above:
i-U = Suitable for Universal i-Size child
restraint systems, both rearward facing
and forward facing.
X = Seat not suitable for Universal i-Size
child restraint systems.
Child Restraint Systems Recommended By
FCA For Your Vehicle
MOPAR Accessories Line includes a
complete range of child restraint systems to
be fixed using the seat belt with three
anchorage points or the ISOFIX anchorages.
WARNING!
The child restraint owner’s manual
provides instructions for installing the

SAFETY TIPS
Transporting Passengers
NEVER TRANSPORT PASSENGERS IN THE
CARGO AREA.
Exhaust Gas
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
complete exhaust system and adjacent body
areas 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.
Safety Checks You Should Make Inside
The Vehicle
Seat Belts
Inspect the seat belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, and loose parts.
Damaged parts must be replaced immedi
-
ately. Do not disassemble or modify the
system.
Front seat belt assemblies must be replaced
after a collision. Rear seat belt assemblies
must be replaced after a collision if they
have been damaged (i.e., bent retractor, torn
webbing, etc.). If there is any question
regarding seat belt or retractor condition,
replace the seat belt.
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.
WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They
contain carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colorless and odorless. Breathing it can
make you unconscious and can eventually
poison 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
outside air into the vehicle. Set the
blower at high speed.
