The upper tether anchor (3) for the third row split bench seat is integral to the left seat back panel (1). This anchor is also constructed of a heavy gauge
steel wire loop that is welded to the seat back panel and surrounded by a molded plastic bezel (3). The child restraint upper tether anchors cannot be
adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, they must be replaced as a unit with their respective second row seat cushion frame unit or third row
seat back panel.
The lower anchors (2) for this vehicle are also integral to their respective second row outboard seat cushion frame. These anchors are also constructed
from a heavy-gauge steel wire loop that is securely welded to the seat cushion frame. They are each accessed from the front of their respective seats, at
each side where the seat back (1) meets the seat cushion (3). These lower anchors cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, they
must be replaced as a unit with the second row seat cushion frame unit.
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.
