Dodge Charger: OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS / To Install A LATCH-Compatible Child Restraint
If the selected seating position has a Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR) seat belt, stow the seat belt, following the instructions below.
- Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and on the tether strap of the
child seat so that you can more easily attach the hooks or connectors to the
vehicle anchorages.
- Place the child seat between the lower anchorages for that 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.
- Attach the lower hooks or connectors of the child restraint to the lower
anchorages in the selected seating position.
- If the child restraint has a tether strap, connect it to the top tether
anchorage.
- 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 manufacturer’s
instructions.
- 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.
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...
When using the LATCH attaching system to install a child restraint, stow all
ALR seat belts that are not being used by other occupants or being used to secure
child restraints...

60/40 Split-Folding Rear Seat — If Equipped
The 60/40 split-folding rear seat provides cargo-carrying versatility. The seatbacks
fold down easily by pulling nylon tabs between the seatbacks and the bolsters. When
the seats are folded down, they provide a continuous, nearly-flat extension of the
trunk load floor...
Your vehicle is equipped with dual hydraulic brake systems. If either of the
two hydraulic systems loses normal capability, the remaining system will still function.
There will be some loss of overall braking effectiveness. This may be evident by
increased pedal travel during application, greater pedal force required to slow
or stop, and potential activation of the Brake Warning Light...
