TABLE OF CONTENTS

• Push the ENGINE START/STOP button a third time to return the ignition switch to
the OFF position.
NOTE:
If the ignition switch is left in the ACC or
ON/RUN (engine not running) position
and the transmission is in PARK, the
system will automatically time out after
30 minutes of inactivity and the ignition
will switch to the OFF position.
• In case the ignition switch does not
change with the push of a button, the
RKE transmitter (Key Fob) may have a
low or dead battery. In this situation a
back up method can be used to oper-
ate the ignition switch. Put the nose
side (side opposite of the emergency
key) of the Key Fob against the EN-
GINE START/STOP button and push to operate the ignition switch.
SEAT BELT SYSTEMS
Lap/Shoulder Belts
• All seating positions in your vehicle are equipped with lap/shoulder belts.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
• Position the lap belt so that it is snug and lies low across your hips, below your
abdomen. To remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder belt.
To loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt.
A snug seat belt reduces the risk of sliding under the seat belt in a collision.
• Position the shoulder belt across the shoulder and chest with minimal, if any slack
so that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck. The retractor will withdraw
any slack in the shoulder belt.
Seat Belt Pretensioner
• The front seat belt system is equipped with pretensioning devices that are
designed to remove slack from the seat belt in the event of a collision.
• A deployed pretensioner or a deployed air bag must be replaced immediately.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) —
AIR BAGS
Air Bag System Components
Your vehicle may be equipped with the following air bag system components:
• Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
• Air Bag Warning Light
• Steering Wheel and Column
• Instrument Panel
• Knee Impact Bolsters
• Advanced Front Air Bags
• Supplemental Side Air Bags
• Supplemental Knee Air Bags
• Front and Side Impact Sensors
• Seat Belt Pretenioners
• Seat Belt Buckle Switch
• Seat Track Position Sensors
• Occupant Classification System
Advanced Front Air Bags
• This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and front passenger
as a supplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The Advanced Front Air Bags
will not deploy in every type of collision.
• Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection by
supplementing the seat belts. Advanced Front Air Bags are not expected to reduce
the risk of injury in rear, side, or rollover collisions.
• The Advanced Front Air Bags will not deploy in all frontal collisions, including
some that may produce substantial vehicle damage — for example, some pole
collisions, truck underrides, and angle offset collisions.
• On the other hand, depending on the type and location of impact, Advanced Front
Air Bags may deploy in crashes with little vehicle front-end damage but that
produce a severe initial deceleration.
• Because air bag sensors measure vehicle deceleration over time, vehicle speed
and damage by themselves are not good indicators of whether or not an air bag
should have deployed.
• Seat belts are necessary for your protection in all collisions, and also are needed
to help keep you in position, away from an inflating air bag.

The OCS will NOT prevent deployment of the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag. The
OCS may reduce the inflation rate of the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag if the
OCS estimates that:
• The front passenger seat is unoccupied or has very light objects on it; or
• The front passenger seat is occupied by a small passenger, including a child; or
• The front passenger seat is occupied by a rear-facing child restraint; or
• The front passenger is not properly seated or his or her weight is taken off of the
seat for a period of time.
Front Passenger Seat Occupant Status Front Passenger Air Bag Output
Rear-facing child restraintReduced-power deployment
Child, including a child in a forward-facingchild restraint or booster seat*Full-power deployment OR reduced-power deployment
Properly seated adultFull-power deployment OR reduced-power deployment
Unoccupied seatReduced-power deployment
* It is possible for a child to be classified as an adult, allowing a full-power Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag deployment. Never allow children to ride in the front
passenger seat and never install a child restraint system, including a rear-facing child
restraint, in the front passenger seat.
The OCS determines the front passenger’s most probable classification.
The OCS estimates the seated weight on the front passenger seat and where that
weight is located. The OCS communicates the classification status to the ORC. The
ORC uses the classification to determine whether the Passenger Advanced Front Air
Bag inflation rate should be adjusted. In order for the OCS to operate as designed, it
is important for the front passenger to be seated properly and properly wearing the
seat belt. Properly seated passengers are:
• Sitting upright
• Facing forward
• Sitting in the center of the seat with their feet comfortably on or near the floor
• Sitting with their back against the seatback and the seatback in an upright
position
Seated Properly

The following requirements must be strictly followed:
• Do not modify the front passenger seat assembly or components in any way.
• Do not use prior or future model year seat covers or cushions not designated by
Chrysler Group LLC for the specific model being repaired. Always use the correct
seat cover and cushion specified for the vehicle.
• Do not replace the seat cover or cushion with an aftermarket seat cover or cushion.
• Do not add a secondary seat cover or mat.
• At no time should any Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) component or SRS
related component or fastener be modified or replaced with any part except those
which are approved by Chrysler Group LLC.
Supplemental Knee Air Bags
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag mounted in the
instrument panel below the steering column and a Supplemental Passenger Knee Air
Bag mounted in the instrument panel below the glove compartment. The Supple-
mental Knee Air Bags provide enhanced protection during a frontal impact by
working together with the seat belts, pretensioners, and Advanced Front Air Bags.
Supplemental Side Air Bags
• Your vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SABs)
located in the outboard side of the front and rear (in vehicles equipped with
outboard rear seat SABs) seats. The SABs are marked with a SRS AIRBAG label
sewn into the outboard side of the seats.
• Your vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains
(SABICs) located above the side windows. The trim covering the SABICs is labeled
SRS AIRBAG. The SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial or complete ejection
of vehicle occupants through side windows in certain side impact events.
• The SABICs and SABs (“Side Air Bags”) are designed to activate in certain side
impacts and certain rollover events. The Occupant Restraint Controller (“ORC”)
determines whether the deployment of the Side Air Bags in a particular side
impact or rollover event is appropriate, based on the severity and type of collision.
Vehicle damage by itself is not a good indicator of whether or not Side Air Bags
should have deployed.
GETTING STARTED
23

WARNING!
• Side Air Bags need room to inflate. Do not lean against the door or window. Sit
upright in the center of the seat.
• Being too close to the Side Air Bags during deployment could cause you to be
severely injured or killed.
• Relying on the Side Air Bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a
collision. The Side Air Bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In
some collisions, Side Air Bags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belt
even though you have Side Air Bags.
• This vehicle is equipped with left and right Supplemental Side Air Bag
Inflatable Curtains (SABICs). Do not stack luggage or other cargo up high
enough to block the deployment of the SABICs. The trim covering above the
side windows where the SABIC and its deployment path are located should
remain free from any obstructions.
• This vehicle is equipped with SABICs. In order for the SABICs to work as
intended, do not install any accessory items in your vehicle which could alter
the roof. Do not add an aftermarket sunroof to your vehicle. Do not add roof
racks that require permanent attachments (bolts or screws) for installation on
the vehicle roof. Do not drill into the roof of the vehicle for any reason.
• Do not use accessory seat covers or place objects between you and the Side Air
Bags; the performance could be adversely affected and/or objects could be
pushed into you, causing serious injury.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
Children 12 years or younger should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if
available. According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in
the rear seats rather than in the front.
Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small
children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted
for ignoring it.
NOTE:
•For additional information, refer towww.Seatcheck.org or call 1-866-SEATCHECK.
• Canadian residents should refer to Transport Canada’s website for additional
information:

LATCH – Lower Anchors And Tethers For CHildren
• Your vehicle is equipped with the child restraint anchorage system called LATCH,
which stands for Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren.
• All rear seating positions have lower anchors and top tether anchors.
LATCH System Weight Limit
You may use the LATCH anchorage system until the combined weight of the child and
the child restraint is 65 lbs (29.5 kg). Use the seat belt and tether anchor instead of
the LATCH system once the combined weight is more than 65 lbs (29.5 kg).
Locating The LATCH Lower Anchorages
The lower anchorages are round bars that are found at the rear of the seat
cushion where it meets the seatback. They are just visible when you lean into the rear
seat to install the child restraint. You will easily feel them if you run your finger along
the gap between the seatback and seat cushion.
Lower Anchors

Locating The Tether Anchorages
In addition, there are tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating position
located on the back of the seat.
Center Seat LATCH
The center seating position in this vehicle has a single dedicated anchorage. Use
anchorages 3 and 4 to install a child seat in the center position. Do not use
anchorages 2 and 3 to install a child seat. If you are installing three child restraints,
you must use the seatbelt to install the center child restraint and you must use the
LATCH anchors for the outboard position on the left side. You can use either the
LATCH anchors or the vehicle’s seat belt for installing the child seat in the outboard
position on the right side. See the vehicle owner’s manual for more information about
center LATCH.
