webbing to retract completely in this
case and then carefully pull out only the
amount of webbing necessary to
comfortably wrap around the occupant’s
mid-section. Slide the latch plate into the
buckle until you hear a "click."
In Automatic Locking Mode, the shoulder
belt is automatically pre-locked. The seat
belt will still retract to remove any slack
in the shoulder belt. Use the Automatic
Locking Mode anytime a child restraint is
installed in a seating position that has a
seat belt with this feature. Children
12 years old and under should always be
properly restrained in the rear seat of a
vehicle with a rear seat.
Warning!
Never place a rear-facing child restraint in
front of an air bag. A deploying passenger
front air bag can cause death or serious
injury to a child 12 years or younger,
including a child in a rear-facing child
restraint.
Only use a rear-facing child restraint in
the rear seat of a vehicle with a rear seat.
How To Engage The Automatic Locking
Mode
1. Buckle the combination lap and
shoulder belt. 2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull
downward until the entire seat belt is
extracted.
3. Allow the seat belt to retract. As the
seat belt retracts, you will hear a clicking
sound. This indicates the seat belt is now
in the Automatic Locking Mode.
How To Disengage The Automatic
Locking Mode
Unbuckle the combination lap/shoulder
belt and allow it to retract completely to
disengage the Automatic Locking Mode
and activate the vehicle sensitive
(emergency) locking mode.
Warning!
The seat belt assembly must be replaced
if the switchable Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR) feature or any other seat
belt function is not working properly when
checked according to the procedures in the
Service Manual.
Failure to replace the seat belt assembly
could increase the risk of injury in collisions.
Do not use the Automatic Locking Mode
to restrain occupants who are wearing the
seat belt or children who are using booster
seats. The locked mode is only used to
install rear-facing or forward-facing child
restraints that have a harness for
restraining the child.
Supplemental Restraint Systems
(SRS)
Some of the safety features described in
this section may be standard equipment
on some models, or may be optional
equipment on others. If you are not sure,
ask your authorized dealer.
The air bag system must be ready to
protect you in a collision. The Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC) monitors the
internal circuits and interconnecting
wiring associated with the electrical Air
Bag System Components. Your vehicle
may be equipped with the following Air
Bag System Components:

SAFETY

SABICs may help reduce the risk of head
and other injuries to front and rear seat
outboard occupants in certain side
impacts, in addition to the injury
reduction potential provided by the seat
belts and body structure.
The SABIC deploys downward, covering
the side windows. An inflating SABIC
pushes the outside edge of the headliner
out of the way and covers the window.
The SABICs inflate with enough force to
injure occupants if they are not belted
and seated properly, or if items are
positioned in the area where the SABICs
inflate. Children are at an even greater
risk of injury from a deploying air bag.
The SABICs may help reduce the risk of
partial or complete ejection of vehicle
occupants through side windows in
certain side impact events.
Warning!
Do not mount equipment, or 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.
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.
Side Impacts
The Side Air Bags are designed to
activate in certain side impacts. The
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
determines whether the deployment of
the Side Air Bags in a particular impact
event is appropriate, based on the
severity and type of collision. The side
impact sensors aid the ORC in
determining the appropriate response to
impact events. The system is calibrated
to deploy the Side Air Bags on the impact
side of the vehicle during impacts that
require Side Air Bag occupant protection.
In side impacts, the Side Air Bags deploy
independently; a left side impact deploys
the left Side Air Bags only and a
right-side impact deploys the right Side
Air Bags only. Vehicle damage by itself is
not a good indicator of whether or not
Side Air Bags should have deployed.
The Side Air Bags will not deploy in all
side collisions, including some collisions
at certain angles, or some side collisions
that do not impact the area of the
passenger compartment. The Side Air
Bags may deploy during angled or offset
frontal collisions where the front air bags
deploy.
Side Air Bags are a supplement to the
seat belt restraint system. Side Air Bags
deploy in less time than it takes to blink
your eyes.
Warning!
Occupants, including children, who are up
against or very close to Side Air Bags can be
seriously injured or killed. Occupants,
including children, should never lean on or
sleep against the door, side windows, or
area where the side air bags inflate, even if
they are in an infant or child restraint.
Seat belts (and child restraints where
appropriate) are necessary for your
protection in all collisions. They also help
keep you in position, away from an inflating
Side Air Bag. To get the best protection
from the Side Air Bags, occupants must
wear their seat belts properly and sit
upright with their backs against the seats.
Children must be properly restrained in a
child restraint or booster seat that is
appropriate for the size of the child.
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.
127

Warning!
Deployed air bags and seat belt
pretensioners cannot protect you in another
collision. Have the air bags, seat belt
pretensioners, and the seat belt retractor
assemblies replaced by an authorized dealer
immediately. Also, have the Occupant
Restraint Controller System serviced as
well.
Note:
Air bag covers may not be obvious in
the interior trim, but they will open
during air bag deployment.
After any collision, the vehicle should
be taken to an authorized dealer
immediately.
Enhanced Accident Response
System
In the event of an impact, if the
communication network remains intact,
and the power remains intact, depending
on the nature of the event, the ORC will
determine whether to have the Enhanced
Accident Response System perform the
following functions:
Cut off fuel to the engine (If Equipped)
Cut off battery power to the electric
motor (If Equipped)
Flash hazard lights as long as the
battery has power
Turn on the interior lights, which
remain on as long as the battery has
power or for 15 minutes from the
intervention of the Enhanced Accident
Response System.
Unlock the power door locks.
Your vehicle may also be designed to
perform any of these other functions in
response to the Enhanced Accident
Response System:
Turn off the Fuel Filter Heater, Turn off
the HVAC Blower Motor, Close the HVAC
Circulation Door
Cut off battery power to the:
– Engine
– Electric Motor (if equipped)
– Electric power steering
– Brake booster
– Electric park brake
– Automatic transmission gear selector
– Horn
– Front wiper
– Headlamp washer pump
Note: After an accident, remember to
cycle the ignition to the STOP
(OFF/LOCK) position and remove the key from the ignition switch to avoid draining
the battery. Carefully check the vehicle
for fuel leaks in the engine compartment
and on the ground near the engine
compartment and fuel tank before
resetting the system and starting the
engine. If there are no fuel leaks or
damage to the vehicle electrical devices
(e.g. headlights) after an accident, reset
the system by following the procedure
described below.
Enhanced Accident Response
System Reset Procedure
After the event occurs, when the system
is active, a message regarding fuel cutoff
is displayed. Turn the ignition switch from
ignition AVV/START or MAR/ACC/ON/
RUN to ignition STOP/OFF/LOCK.
Carefully check the vehicle for fuel leaks
in the engine compartment and on the
ground near the engine compartment and
fuel tank before resetting the system and
starting the engine.
Depending on the nature of the event the
left and right turn signal lights, located in
the instrument panel, may both be
blinking and will continue to blink. In order
to move your vehicle to the side of the
road, you must follow the system reset
procedure.

LATCH-compatible child restraint
systems will be equipped with a rigid bar
or a flexible strap on each side. Each will
have a hook or connector to attach to the
lower anchorage and a way to tighten the
connection to the anchorage.
Forward-facing child restraints and some
rear-facing child restraints will also be
equipped with a tether strap. The tether
strap will have a hook at the end to attach
to the top tether anchorage and a way to
tighten the strap after it is attached to
the anchorage.
Center Seat LATCH
Warning!
Do not install a child restraint in the
center position using the LATCH system.
This position is not approved for installing
child seats using the LATCH attachments.
You must use the seat belt and tether
anchor to install a child seat in the center
seating position.
Never use the same lower anchorage to
attach more than one child restraint.
Please refer to “To Install A LATCH-
Compatible Child Restraint” for typical
installation instructions.
Always follow the directions of the
child restraint manufacturer when
installing your child restraint. Not all
child restraint systems will be installed
as described here.
To Install A LATCH-Compatible Child
Restraint
If the selected seating position has a
Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR) seat belt, stow the seat belt,
following the instructions below. See the
section “Installing Child Restraints Using
the Vehicle Seat Belt” to check what type
of seat belt each seating position has. 1. Loosen the adjusters on the lower
straps and on the tether strap of the child
seat so that you can more easily attach
the hooks or connectors to the vehicle
anchorages.
2. Place the child seat between the
lower anchorages for that seating
position. For some second row seats, you
may need to recline the seat and / or raise
the head restraint to get a better fit. If
the rear seat can be moved forward and
rearward in the vehicle, you may wish to
move it to its rear-most position to make
room for the child seat. You may also
move the front seat forward to allow
more room for the child seat.
3. Attach the lower hooks or connectors
of the child restraint to the lower
anchorages in the selected seating
position.
4. If the child restraint has a tether
strap, connect it to the top tether
anchorage. See the section “Installing
Child Restraints Using the Top Tether
Anchorage” for directions to attach a
tether anchor.
5. Tighten all of the straps as you push
the child restraint rearward and
downward into the seat. Remove slack in
the straps according to the child restraint
manufacturer’s instructions.

6. Test that the child restraint is
installed tightly by pulling back and forth
on the child seat at the belt path. It should
not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in
any direction.
How To Stow An Unused
Switchable-ALR (ALR) Seat Belt:
When using the LATCH attaching system
to install a child restraint, stow all ALR
seat belts that are not being used by
other occupants or being used to secure
child restraints. An unused belt could
injure a child if they play with it and
accidentally lock the seat belt retractor.
Before installing a child restraint using
the LATCH system, buckle the seat belt
behind the child restraint and out of the
child’s reach. If the buckled seat belt
interferes with the child restraint
installation, instead of buckling it behind
the child restraint, route the seat belt
through the child restraint belt path and
then buckle it. Do not lock the seat belt.
Remind all children in the vehicle that the
seat belts are not toys and that they
should not play with them.
Warning!
Improper installation of a child restraint
to the LATCH anchorages can lead to failure
of the restraint. The child could be badly
injured or killed. Follow the child restraint
manufacturer’s directions exactly when
installing an infant or child restraint.
Child restraint anchorages are designed
to withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly-fitted child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used for adult
seat belts, harnesses, or for attaching other
items or equipment to the vehicle.
Installing Child Restraints Using
The Vehicle Seat Belt
Child restraint systems are designed to
be secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or
the lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt.
Warning!
Improper installation or failure to
properly secure a child restraint can lead to
failure of the restraint. The child could be
badly injured or killed.
Follow the child restraint manufacturer’s
directions exactly when installing an infant
or child restraint.
The seat belts in the passenger seating
positions are equipped with a Switchable
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) that
is designed to keep the lap portion of the
seat belt tight around the child restraint
so that it is not necessary to use a locking
clip. The ALR retractor can be “switched”
into a locked mode by pulling all of the
webbing out of the retractor and then
letting the webbing retract back into the
retractor. If it is locked, the ALR will make a clicking noise while the webbing is
pulled back into the retractor. Refer to
the “Automatic Locking Mode”
description in “Switchable Automatic
Locking Retractors (ALR)” under
“Occupant Restraint Systems” for
additional information on ALR.

Installing A Child Restraint With A
Switchable Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR):
Child restraint systems are designed to
be secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or
the lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt.
Warning!
Improper installation or failure to
properly secure a child restraint can lead to
failure of the restraint. The child could be
badly injured or killed.
Follow the child restraint manufacturer’s
directions exactly when installing an infant
or child restraint.
1. Place the child seat in the center of
the seating position. For some second
row seats, you may need to recline the
seat and/or raise the head restraint to
get a better fit. If the rear seat can be
moved forward and rearward in the
vehicle, you may wish to move it to its
rear-most position to make room for the
child seat. You may also move the front
seat forward to allow more room for the
child seat.
2. Pull enough of the seat belt webbing
from the retractor to pass it through the
belt path of the child restraint. Do not
twist the belt webbing in the belt path.
3. Slide the latch plate into the buckle
until you hear a “click.”
4. Pull on the webbing to make the lap
portion tight against the child seat. 5. To lock the seat belt, pull down on the
shoulder part of the belt until you have
pulled all the seat belt webbing out of the
retractor. Then, allow the webbing to
retract back into the retractor. As the
webbing retracts, you will hear a clicking
sound. This means the seat belt is now in
the Automatic Locking mode.
6. Try to pull the webbing out of the
retractor. If it is locked, you should not be
able to pull out any webbing. If the
retractor is not locked, repeat step 5.
7. Finally, pull up on any excess webbing
to tighten the lap portion around the child
restraint while you push the child
restraint rearward and downward into
the vehicle seat.

Warning!
An improperly attached, damaged, folded, or
stacked floor mat, or damaged floor mat
fasteners may cause your floor mat to
interfere with the accelerator, brake, or
clutch pedals and cause a loss of vehicle
control. To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH:
ALWAYS securely attachyour floor
mat using the floor mat fasteners. DO NOT
install your floor mat upside down or turn
your floor mat over. Lightly pull to confirm
mat is secured using the floor mat fasteners
on a regular basis.
ALWAYS REMOVE THE EXISTING FLOOR
MAT FROM THE VEHICLEbefore
installing any other floor mat. NEVER install
or stack an additional floor mat on top of an
existing floor mat.
ONLY install floor mats designed to fit
your vehicle. NEVER install a floor mat that
cannot be properly attached and secured to
your vehicle. If a floor mat needs to be
replaced, only use a FCA approved floor mat
for the specific make, model, and year of
your vehicle.
ONLY use the driver’s side floor mat on
the driver’s side floor area. To check for
interference, with the vehicle properly
parked with the engine off, fully depress the
accelerator, the brake, and the clutch pedal
(if present) to check for interference. If your
floor mat interferes with the operation of
any pedal, or is not secure to the floor,
remove the floor mat from the vehicle and
place the floor mat in your trunk.
ONLY use the passenger’s side floor mat
on the passenger’s side floor area.
ALWAYS make sure objects cannot fall or
slide into the driver’s side floor area when
the vehicle is moving. Objects can become
trapped under accelerator, brake, or clutch
pedals and could cause a loss of vehicle
control.
NEVER place any objects under the floor
mat (e.g., towels, keys, etc.). These objects
could change the position of the floor mat
and may cause interference with the
accelerator, brake, or clutch pedals.
If the vehicle carpet has been removed
and re-installed, always properly attach
carpet to the floor and check the floor mat
fasteners are secure to the vehicle carpet.
Fully depress each pedal to check for
interference with the accelerator, brake, or

It is recommended to only use mild soap
and water to clean your floor mats. After
cleaning, always check your floor mat has
been properly installed and is secured to
your vehicle using the floor mat fasteners
by lightly pulling mat.
Periodic Safety Checks You Should
Make Outside The Vehicle
Tires
Examine tires for excessive tread wear
and uneven wear patterns. Check for
stones, nails, glass, or other objects
lodged in the tread or sidewall. Inspect
the tread for cuts and cracks. Inspect
sidewalls for cuts, cracks, and bulges.
Check the wheel nuts for tightness.
Check the tires (including spare) for
proper cold inflation pressure.
Lights
Have someone observe the operation of
brake lights and exterior lights while you
work the controls. Check turn signal and
high beam indicator lights on the
instrument panel.
Door Latches
Check for proper closing, latching, and
locking.
Fluid Leaks
