on and remain on until both outboard front seat
belts are buckled. The outboard front passenger
seat BeltAlert is not active when an outboard
front passenger seat is unoccupied.
BeltAlert Warning Sequence
The BeltAlert warning sequence is activated
when the vehicle is moving above a specified
vehicle speed range and the driver or outboard
front seat passenger is unbuckled (if equipped
with outboard front passenger seat BeltAlert).
The BeltAlert warning sequence starts by blink-
ing the Seat Belt Reminder Light and sounding
an intermittent chime. Once the BeltAlert warn-
ing sequence has completed, the Seat Belt
Reminder Light will remain on until the seat
belts are buckled. The BeltAlert warning se-
quence may repeat based on vehicle speed
until the driver and occupied outboard front seat
passenger seat belts are buckled. The driver
should instruct all occupants to buckle their seat
belts.Change Of Status
If the driver or outboard front seat passenger (if
equipped with outboard front passenger seat
BeltAlert) unbuckles their seat belt while the
vehicle is traveling, the BeltAlert warning se-
quence will begin until the seat belts are buck-
led again.
The outboard front passenger seat BeltAlert is
not active when the outboard front passenger
seat is unoccupied. BeltAlert may be triggered
when an animal or other items are placed on the
outboard front passenger seat or when the seat
is folded flat (if equipped). It is recommended
that pets be restrained in the rear seat (if
equipped) in pet harnesses or pet carriers that
are secured by seat belts, and cargo is properly
stowed.
BeltAlert can be activated or deactivated by
your authorized dealer. FCA International Op-
erations LLC does not recommend deactivating
BeltAlert.NOTE:
If BeltAlert has been deactivated and the
driver or outboard front seat passenger (if
equipped with outboard front passenger
seat BeltAlert) is unbuckled the Seat Belt
Reminder Light will turn on and remain on
until the driver and outboard front seat pas-
senger seat belts are buckled.
Lap/Shoulder Belts
All seating positions in your vehicle are
equipped with lap/shoulder belts.
The seat belt webbing retractor will lock only
during very sudden stops or collisions. This
feature allows the shoulder part of the seat belt
to move freely with you under normal condi-
tions. However, in a collision the seat belt will
lock and reduce your risk of striking the inside of
the vehicle or being thrown out of the vehicle.
28

As a guide, if you are shorter than average, you
will prefer the shoulder belt anchorage in a
lower position, and if you are taller than aver-
age, you will prefer the shoulder belt anchorage
in a higher position. After you release the an-
chorage button, try to move it up or down to
make sure that it is locked in position.NOTE:
The adjustable upper shoulder belt anchor-
age is equipped with an Easy Up feature.
This feature allows the shoulder belt an-
chorage to be adjusted in the upward posi-
tion without pushing or squeezing the re-
lease button. To verify the shoulder belt
anchorage is latched, pull downward on the
shoulder belt anchorage until it is locked
into position.
Second Row Center Seat Belt Operating
Instructions
The second row center seat belt features a seat
belt with a mini-latch plate and buckle, which
allows the seat belt to detach from the lower
anchor when the seat is folded. The mini-latch
plate and regular latch plate can then be stored
out of the way in the right side trim panel for
added convenience to open up utilization of the
storage areas behind the front seats when the
seat is not occupied.
1. Remove the mini-latch plate and regular
latch plate from its stowed position in the
right rear side trim panel.2. Grasp the mini-latch plate and pull the seat
belt over the seat.
3. Route the shoulder belt to the inside of the
right head restraint.
4. When the seat belt is long enough to fit,
insert the mini-latch plate into the mini-
buckle until you hear a “click.”
5. Sit back in seat. Slide the regular latch plate
up the webbing as far as necessary to allow
the seat belt to go around your lap.

WARNING!(Continued)
•When reattaching the mini-latch plate and
mini-buckle, ensure the seat belt webbing
is not twisted. If the webbing is twisted,
follow the preceding procedure to detach
the mini-latch plate and mini-buckle, un-
twist the webbing, and reattach the mini-
latch plate and mini-buckle.
Seat Belts And Pregnant WomenSeat belts must be worn by all occupants includ-
ing pregnant women: the risk of injury in the
event of an accident is reduced for the mother
and the unborn child if they are wearing a seat
belt.
Position the lap belt snug and low below the
abdomen and across the strong bones of the
hips. Place the shoulder belt across the chest
and away from the neck. Never place the shoul-
der belt behind the back or under the arm.
Seat Belt Pretensioner
The front seat belt system is equipped with
pretensioning devices that are designed to re-
move slack from the seat belt in the event of a
collision. These devices may improve the per-
formance of the seat belt by removing slack
from the seat belt early in a collision. Preten-
sioners work for all size occupants, including
those in child restraints.
NOTE:
These devices are not a substitute for
proper seat belt placement by the occupant.
The seat belt still must be worn snugly and
positioned properly.The pretensioners are triggered by the Occu-
pant Restraint Controller (ORC). Like the air
bags, the pretensioners are single use items. A
deployed pretensioner or a deployed air bag
must be replaced immediately.
Energy Management Feature
This vehicle has a seat belt system with an
Energy Management feature in the front seating
positions that may help further reduce the risk of
injury in the event of a collision. This seat belt
system has a retractor assembly that is designed
to release webbing in a controlled manner.
Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR)
The seat belts in the passenger seating posi-
tions are equipped with a Switchable Automatic
Locking Retractor (ALR) which is used to se-
cure a child restraint system. For additional
information, refer to “Installing Child Restraints
Using The Vehicle Seat Belt” under the “Child
Restraints” section of this manual. The table
below defines the type of feature for each
seating position.
Pregnant Women And Seat Belts
34

If the passenger seating position is equipped
with an ALR and is being used for normal
usage, only pull the seat belt webbing out far
enough to comfortably wrap around the occu-
pant’s mid-section so as to not activate the ALR.
If the ALR is activated, you will hear a clicking
sound as the seat belt retracts. Allow the web-
bing to retract completely in this case and then
carefully pull out only the amount of webbing
necessary to comfortably wrap around the oc-
cupant’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 a vehicle with a rear seat.
WARNING!
•Never place a rear-facing child restraint in
front of an air bag. A deploying Passenger
Advanced 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 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 down-
ward 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 Auto-
matic 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 ve-
hicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode.
WARNING!
•The seat belt assembly must be replaced if
the switchable Automatic Locking Retrac-
tor (ALR) feature or any other seat belt
function is not working properly when
checked according to the procedures in
the Service Manual.

WARNING!(Continued)
•Failure to replace the seat belt assembly
could increase the risk of injury in colli-
sions.
•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 restrain-
ing the child.
Supplemental Active Head Restraints
(AHR)
These head restraints are passive, deployable
components, and vehicles with this equipment
cannot be readily identified by any markings,
only through visual inspection of the head re-
straint. The head restraint will be split in two
halves, with the front half being soft foam and
trim, the back half being decorative plastic.How The Active Head Restraints (AHR) Work
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) de-
termines whether the severity, or type of rear
impact will require the Active Head Restraints
(AHR) to deploy. If a rear impact requires de-
ployment, both the driver and front passenger
seat AHRs will be deployed.
When AHRs deploy during a rear impact, the
front half of the head restraint extends forward
to minimize the gap between the back of the
occupant’s head and the AHR. This system is
designed to help prevent or reduce the extent of
injuries to the driver and front passenger in
certain types of rear impacts.
NOTE:
The Active Head Restraints (AHR) may or
may not deploy in the event of a front or side
impact. However if during a front impact, a
secondary rear impact occurs, the AHR may
deploy based on the severity and type of the
impact.

SABICs may help reduce the risk of head or
other injuries to front and rear seat outboard
occupants in certain side impacts and/or vehicle
rollover events, in addition to the injury reduc-
tion potential provided by the seat belts and
body structure.
The SABICs deploy downward, covering the
side windows. An inflating SABIC pushes the
outside edge of the trim out of the way and
covers the window. The SABICs inflate with
enough force to injure occupants if they are notbelted 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 rollover or side
impact events.
WARNING!
•Your vehicle is equipped with left and right
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Cur-
tains (SABICs). Do not stack luggage or
other cargo up high enough to block the
deployment of the SABICs. The trim cov-
ering above the side windows where the
SABIC and its deployment path are lo-
cated should remain free from any ob-
structions.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
•Your 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 perma-
nent attachments (bolts or screws) for in-
stallation on the vehicle roof. Do not drill
into the roof of the vehicle for any reason.
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 de-
ployment 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.
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. Occupants,

Enhanced Accident Response System
Reset Procedure
In order to reset the Enhanced Accident Re-
sponse System functions after an event, the
ignition must be changed from the START or
ON/RUN position to the OFF position. Carefully
check the vehicle for fuel leaks in the engine
compartment and on the ground near the en-
gine compartment and fuel tank before resetting
the system and starting the engine.
Air Bag Warning Light
The air bags must be ready to
inflate for your protection in a colli-
sion. The Occupant Restraint Con-
troller (ORC) monitors the internal
circuits and interconnecting wiring
associated with air bag system electrical com-
ponents.The ORC monitors the readiness of the elec-
tronic parts of the air bag system whenever the
ignition is placed in the START or ON/RUN
position. If the ignition is in the OFF position or
in the ACC position, the air bag system is not on
and the air bags will not inflate.
The ORC contains a backup power supply
system that may deploy the air bags even if the
battery loses power or it becomes disconnected
prior to deployment.
The ORC turns on the Air Bag Warning Light in
the instrument panel for approximately four to
eight seconds for a self-check when the ignition
is first placed in the ON/RUN position. After the
self-check, the Air Bag Warning Light will turn
off. If the ORC detects a malfunction in any part
of the system, it turns on the Air Bag Warning
Light, either momentarily or continuously. A
single chime will sound to alert you if the light
comes on again after initial startup.
The ORC also includes diagnostics that will
illuminate the instrument panel Air Bag Warning
Light if a malfunction is detected that could
affect the air bag system. The diagnostics also
record the nature of the malfunction. While theair bag system is designed to be maintenance
free, if any of the following occurs, have an
authorized dealer service the air bag system
immediately.
•The Air Bag Warning Light does not come on
during the four to eight seconds when the
ignition is first placed in the ON/RUN posi-
tion.
•The Air Bag Warning Light remains on after
the four to eight-second interval.
•The Air Bag Warning Light comes on inter-
mittently or remains on while driving.
NOTE:
If the speedometer, tachometer, or any en-
gine related gauges are not working, the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) may
also be disabled. In this condition the air
bags may not be ready to inflate for your
protection. Have an authorized dealer ser-
vice the air bag system immediately.

In Europe, children restraint systems are de-
fined by regulation ECE-R44, which divides
them into five weight groups:
Restraint Group Weight Group
Group 0 up to 10 kg
Group 0+ up to 13 kg
Group 1 9-18 kg
Group 2 15-25 kg
Group 3 22-36 kg
Check the label of your child restraint. All ap-
proved child restraints must include type-
approval data and the control mark on its label.
The label must be permanently secured to the
child restraint system. You should not remove
this label from the child restraint.
WARNING!
Extreme Hazard! Do not place a rear-facing
child restraint in front of an active air bag.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
Refer to visor mounted labels for information.
Deployment of the air bag in an accident
could cause fatal injuries to the baby regard-
less of the severity of the collision. It is
advisable to always carry children in a child
restraint system on the rear seat, which is
the most protected position in the event of a
collision.
“Universal” Child Restraint Systems
The figures in the following sections are ex-
amples of each type of universal child restraint
system. Typical installations are shown. Always
install your child restraint system according to
the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions,
which must be included with this type of re-
straint system.
See the section “Installing Child Restraints Us-
ing the Vehicle Seat Belt” for the steps to
properly lock the seat belt over the child re-
straint.Child restraint systems with ISOFIX anchor-
ages are available for installing the child re-
straint system to the vehicle without using the
vehicle’s seat belts.
Group 0 And 0+
Safety experts recommend that children ride
rearward facing in the vehicle as long as pos-
sible. Infants up to 13 kg must be restrained in
a rear-facing seat like the child seat shown in
fig. A. This type of child restraint supports the
