Dodge Charger: OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS / Installing A Child Restraint With A Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR):
Child restraint systems are designed to be secured in vehicle seats by lap belts
or the lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt.
WARNING!
- Improper installation or failure to properly secure a child restraint
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.
- Place the child seat in the center of the seating position. If the second
row seat can be reclined, you may 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.
- Pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to pass it through
the belt path of the child restraint. Do not twist the belt webbing in the belt
path.
- Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.”
- Pull on the webbing to make the lap portion tight against the child seat.
- 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.
- 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
step 5.
- Finally, pull up on any excess webbing to tighten the lap portion around
the child restraint while you push the child restraint rearward and downward
into the vehicle seat.
- 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.
- 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.
Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally, and
pull it tight if necessary.
WARNING!
Do not attach a tether strap for a rear-facing car seat to any location
in front of the car seat, including the seat frame or a tether anchorage...
