WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supplemental restraint system before attempting
any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or
service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge
before performing further diagnosis or service. On vehicles equipped with the optional Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system, a
technician trained in proper HEV service safety procedures must also remove the high voltage service disconnect from the high
voltage battery pack. This is the only sure way to disable the supplemental restraint system. Failure to take the proper precautions
could result in accidental airbag deployment.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury during and following any seat belt or child restraint anchor service, carefully inspect all seat belts,
buckles, mounting hardware, retractors, tether straps, and anchors for proper installation, operation, or damage. Replace any belt
that is cut, frayed, or torn. Straighten any belt that is twisted. Tighten any loose fasteners. Replace any belt that has a damaged or
ineffective buckle or retractor. Replace any belt that has a bent or damaged latch plate or anchor plate. Replace any child
restraint anchor or the unit to which the anchor is integral that has been bent or damaged. Never attempt to repair a seat belt or
child restraint component. Always replace damaged or ineffective seat belt and child restraint components with the correct, new
and unused replacement parts listed in the Chrysler Mopar (R) Parts Catalog. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
possible serious or fatal injury.
1. Position the front seat belt buckle lower anchor (1) onto the stud near the rear of the inboard seat cushion frame (3). Be certain the anti-rotation tab
on the anchor is engaged in the clearance hole of the frame.
2. Install and tighten the nut (2) that secures the anchor to the frame. Tighten the nut to 43 Nm (32 ft. lbs.).
3. Position the seat cushion side shield to the inboard seat cushion frame.
4. Install and tighten the screws that secure the shield to the frame. Tighten the screws to 1 Nm (9 in. lbs.).
5. Reinstall the front seat and seat track to the floor panel as a unit. See: Body and Frame/Seats/Service and Repair/Seat, Front/Seat - Installation.
6. Do not reconnect the battery negative cable at this time. On vehicles equipped with the optional Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) system, the service
disconnect must also remain disconnected from the high voltage battery pack. The supplemental restraint system verification test procedure should
be performed following service of any supplemental restraint system component. See: Service and Repair.
