Dodge 2004 DR Ram SRT-10, Owner'S Manual

Page: 54 / 302

The LATCH lower anchorage bars are located where the
seatback meets the seat cushion. If the lower anchorage
bars are not visible, identification dots are located above
the standard cab front seat lower anchorages as a guide
for locating the lower anchors.
NOTE: For children riding in the front seat of a Stan-
dard Cab model refer to the “Passenger Airbag On/Off
Switch” located in this section.
Child restraint systems having attachments designed to
connect to the lower anchorages are now available. Child
restraints having tether straps and hooks for connection
to the seatback tether anchorage have been available for
some time. In fact, many child restraint manufacturers
will provide add-on tether strap kits for some of their
older products.
Because the lower anchorages are to be introduced to
passenger carrying vehicles over a period of years, child
restraint systems having attachments for those anchor-
ages will continue to have features for installation in
vehicles using the lap or lap/shoulder belt. They will also
have tether straps, and you are urged to take advantage
of all of the available attachments provided with your
child restraint in any vehicle.
NOTE: If your child restraint seat is not LATCH com-
patible, install the restraint using the vehicle seat belting.
