RAM TRUCK 1500 2010, User Manual, Page: 12 / 96

• LATCH equipped seating positions have both lower anchor bars, located at the back of
the seat cushion, and tether strap anchorages, located behind the seat back.
Installing The Lower Attachments:
• The vehicle lower anchorages are round bars located at the rear of the seat cushion
where it meets the seatback.
• Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps
and on the tether strap so that you can more
easily attach the hooks or connectors to the
vehicle anchors.
• Attach the lower hooks or connectors over
the top of the seatcover material.
• Then tighten the straps as you push the
child restraint rearward and downward into
the seat.
Installing The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower Anchors Or Vehicle Seat
Belt) - Regular Cab - Front Seat:
• 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 to the tether anchor directly behind the
seat.
• Lift the cover (if so equipped), and attach
the hook to the square opening in the sheet
metal.
• Install the child restraint and remove the
slack in the tether strap according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
Installing The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower Anchors Or Vehicle Seat
Belt) - Quad Cab
®
/Crew Cab/Mega Cab
®
- Rear Seats:
• Obtain tether straps by raising the head restraints and reaching between the rear
glass and rear seat. The tether strap may be retained with an elastic band.
Accessibility to the tether strap is greatly improved by raising the seat cushion to the
“up” position. Remove the elastic before use.
• Place a child restraint on each outboard rear seat and adjust the tether strap so that it
will reach under the head restraint to the tether anchor directly behind the seat and
then to the anchor directly behind the center rear seat.
• Pass each tether strap hook under the head restraint and through the loop of webbing
behind the child seat.
• Route each tether strap to the anchor behind the center seat, and attach the hooks to
the metal ring.
