RAM 2015 1500, Operating Information Manual, Page: 61 / 998

If the buckle or the cinching latch plate is too
close to the belt path opening of the child
restraint, you may have trouble tightening the
seat belt. If this happens, disconnect the latch
plate from the buckle and twist the short buckle-
end belt up to three full turns to shorten it. Insert
the latch plate into the buckle with the release
button facing out, away from the child restraint.
Repeat steps 4 to 6, above, to complete the
installation of the child restraint.
If the belt still cannot be tightened after you
shorten the buckle, disconnect the latch plate
from the buckle, turn the buckle around one half
turn, and insert the latch plate into the buckle
again. If you still cannot make the child restraint
installation tight, try a different seating position.
Installing Child Restraints Using The Top
Tether Anchorage
Regular and Mega Cab® Trucks:
In the regular cab truck, the top tether anchor-
ages are located behind the center and right
passenger seats. In the mega cab truck, the top
tether anchorages are located behind each rear
seating position. There is a plastic cover over
each anchorage. To attach the tether strap of
the child restraint:
1. Place the child restraint on the seat and
adjust the tether strap so that it will reach
over the seat back, under the head restraint
and to the tether anchor directly behind the
seat.
2. Route the tether strap to provide the most
direct path between the anchorage and the
child seat. The tether strap should go be-
tween the head restraint posts underneath
the head restraint. You may need to adjust
the head restraint to the upward position to
pass the tether strap underneath the head
restraint and between its posts.
3. Lift the cover (if so equipped), and attach the
hook to the square opening in the sheet
metal. Tighten the tether strap according to
the child seat manufacturer’s instructions.
