Grand Cherokee 2WD V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2005)
Child Seat Tether Attachment: Description and Operation
This model is equipped with a Lower Anchors and Tether for Children, or LATCH child restraint anchorage system. The LATCH system provides for
the installation of suitable child restraints in certain seating positions without using the standard equipment seat belt provided for that seating position.
The rear seats in these models are equipped with a fixed-position child restraint upper tether anchor (2) for both the center and the two outboard seating
positions, and child restraint lower anchors (1) for the two outboard seating positions only.
The three upper tether anchors (1) are integral to the rear seat back panels. One anchor is integral to the back of the right rear panel, and two are integral
to the left rear panel. These anchors are each constructed from short lengths of heavy-gauge steel wire that is securely welded into stamped steel cups
that are integral to the seat back panels. There is a separate molded plastic trim bezel located around each of the three anchors. These child restraint
upper tether anchors cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, they must be replaced as a unit with their respective rear seat back panels.
