Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT 2018, Owner'S Manual

Page: 124 / 666

Safety experts recommend that children ride
rearward facing in the vehicle as long as pos-
sible. Infants up to 13 kg must be restrained in a
rear-facing seat like the child seat shown in fig.
A. This type of child restraint supports the child’s
head and does not induce stress on the neck in
the event of sudden decelerations or a crash.
The rear-facing child restraint is restrained by the
vehicle’s seat belts, as shown in fig. A. The child
seat restrains the child with its own harness.
WARNING!
•
Never place a rear-facing child restraint in
front of an air bag. A deploying passenger
Front Air Bag can cause death or serious
injury to a child 12 years or younger, includ-
ing a child in a rear-facing child restraint.
•
Only use a rear-facing child restraint in a
vehicle with a rear seat.
Group 1
Children who weigh between 9 kg and 18 kg
may be carried in a Group 1, forward facing seat
like the one in fig. B. This type of child restraint
is for older children who are too big for a Group
0 or 0+ child restraint.
Group 2
Children who weigh between 15 kg and 25 kg and
who are too big for the Group 1 child restraint may
use a Group 2 child restraint system.
As shown in fig. C, the Group 2 child restraint
system positions the child correctly with respect
to the seat belt so that the shoulder belt crosses
the child’s chest and not the neck, and the lap
belt is snug on the pelvis and not the abdomen.
Group 3
Children who weigh between 22 kg and 36 kg
and who are tall enough to use the adult shoul-
der belt may use a Group 3 child restraint.
Group 3 child restraints position the lap belt on
the child’s pelvis. The child must be tall enough
that the shoulder belt crosses the child’s chest
and not their neck.
Fig. D shows an example of a Group 3 child
restraint system correctly positioning the child
on the rear seat.
