CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY 2014 5.G Warranty Booklet

To Secure The Child:
1. Before placing the child in the seat, add slack to the
shoulder belts. Release the seat belts by pulling up on the
shoulder belt adjustment strap located at the top of the
seat, then pull on the seat belts (Figure 5).
WARNING!
Whenever a child is using the integrated child seat, be
sure that the head restraint is installed in the fully
lowered position or personal injury may result in the
event of an accident.
2. Place the child into the child seat and put a shoulder belt
over each shoulder. Insert both seat belt latch plates into
the buckle and pull up on them to make sure they are
firmly latched (Figure 6).
NOTE:Be sure that the seat belt buckle is free of foreign
objects that may prevent you from properly latching the
latch plates. If an object is in the opening, and cannot be
removed, see your dealer for service immediately.
3. Fasten the two halves of the shoulder belt clip together
and put it 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) below the child’s chin. The
purpose of the clip is to keep the shoulder belts posi-
tioned correctly on the shoulders (Figure 7).4. Pull the shoulder belt adjustment strap firmly until the
shoulder belts are tight against the child’s shoulders. You
should not be able to put more than two fingers between
the shoulder belts and the child’s chest (Figure 8).
A ratcheting sound should be heard as the excess belt
material returns to the retractor and belts become secure
around the child.
NOTE:Once properly adjusted there is no need to release
the seat belts until a change in clothing or height or weight
occurs.
WARNING!
•A frayed or torn child restraint belt could rip apart in
a collision and leave your child with no protection.
Inspect the belt system periodically, checking for cuts,
frays, or loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced
immediately.
•Do not disassemble or modify the system.
•Child restraint belt systems must be replaced after a
collision if they have been damaged (bent buckle or
5-point connector, torn webbing, etc.). Similarly, the
child restraint-equipped bench or bucket seat must be
replaced after a collision if it is damaged (bent or
broken seat frame, etc.).

To Remove The Child:
1. To release the child from the seat belts, separate the
halves of the shoulder belt clip. Then push the red release
button in the buckle. Move the shoulder belts to the side
and remove the child from the seat.
2. Return the buckle assembly to its lowered position for
stowage after each use (Figure 9). This will allow the
child seat to be neatly folded when not in use.
To Clean The Removable Pad:
The cloth pad is attached to the seat frame with a fastener
strip and can be easily removed (Figure 10) and machine
washed according to directions on the pad.To replace the removable pad, align the opening in the pad
with the crotch belt and buckle and press the pad into place
(Figure 11).
CAUTION!
Failure to follow the washing instructions on the remov-
able pad may result in premature wear.
To Recline The Child Seat:
1. Unlatch the recliner by lifting the release handle (Figure
12).
2. Recline the seat by pushing rearward on the seat back
(Figure 13).

NOTE:The seat is equipped with an interlock mechanism
to prevent the seat back from being folded while the child
seat is open (Figure 14). Returning the child seat(s) to their
stowed position(s) will allow the seat back to be folded.Rear Bucket Seats Equipped With Child Restraint
WARNING!
The rear bucket seats can be tilted forward for easy
access to the third seat or rear cargo area. Do not tilt the
seat forward when a child is using the child restraint
equipped seat or personal injury may result.

Frequently Asked Questions About LATCH
What is the weight limit (child’s weight + weight of
the child restraint) for using the LATCH anchorage
system to attach the child restraint?65
poundsUse the LATCH anchorage system until the com-
bined weight of the child and the child restraint is
65 lbs (29.5 kg). Use the seat belt and tether anchor
instead of the LATCH system once the combined
weight is more than 65 lbs (29.5 kg).
Can the LATCH anchorages and the seat belt be
used together to attach a rear-facing or forward-
facing child restraint?No Do not use the seat belt when you use the LATCH
anchorage system to attach a rear-facing or forward-
facing child restraint.
Can two child restraints be attached using a common
lower LATCH anchorage?No Never “share” a LATCH anchorage with two or
more child restraints. If the center position does not
have dedicated LATCH lower anchorages, use the
seat belt to install a child seat in the center position
next to a child seat using the LATCH anchorages in
an outboard position.
Can the rear-facing child restraint touch the back of
the front passenger seat?Yes The child seat may touch the back of the front pas-
senger seat if the child restraint manufacturer also
allows contact. See your child restraint Owner ’s
Manual for more information.
Can the head restraints be removed? Yes All adjustable head restraints may be removed.
Center Seat LATCH
To install a child restraint in the center position using the
LATCH anchorages, attach the lower hooks or connectors
on the child restraint to the two inner bars in the row. If
LATCH is used for the center seating position, do not use
the lower anchorages in the outboard positions.
If a child restraint installed in the center position blocks the
seat belt webbing or buckle for the outboard position, do not
use that outboard position. If a child seat in the center
position blocks the outboard LATCH anchors or seat belt, do
not install a child seat in that outboard position.
WARNING!
Never use the same lower anchorage to attach more than
one child restraint. Please refer to “Installing The
LATCH-Compatible Child Restraint System” for typical
installation instructions.
Connecting 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.
1. Look behind the seating position where you 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.
4. Remove slack in the tether strap according 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 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.
