ments. Always be sure that the seats are
fully latched.
WARNING!
All occupants, including the driver,
should not operate a vehicle or sit in a
vehicle’s seat until the head restraints
are placed in their proper positions in
order to minimize the risk of neck injury
in the event of a crash.
WARNING! (Continued)
Head restraints should never be adjusted
while the vehicle is in motion. Driving a
vehicle with the head restraints improp -
erly adjusted or removed could cause
serious injury or death in the event of a
collision.

3. If a child from 2 to 12 years old (not in arear-facing child restraint) must ride in
the front passenger seat, move the seat
as far back as possible and use the
proper child restraint. Refer to “Child
Restraints” in this section for further
information.
4. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behind them or under their arm.
5. You should read the instructions provided with your child restraint to make
sure that you are using it properly.
6. All occupants should always wear their lap and shoulder belts properly.
7. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical
to allow the front air bags room to inflate.
8. Do not lean against the door or window. If your vehicle has side air bags, and
deployment occurs, the side air bags will
inflate forcefully into the space between
occupants and the door and occupants
could be injured. 9. If the air bag system in this vehicle needs
to be modified to accommodate a
disabled person, refer to the “Customer
Assistance” section for customer service
contact information.
Seat Belt Systems
Buckle up even though you are an excellent
driver, even on short trips. Someone on the
road may be a poor driver and could cause a
collision that includes you. This can happen
far away from home or on your own street.
Research has shown that seat belts save
lives, and they can reduce the seriousness of
injuries in a collision. Some of the worst inju -
ries happen when people are thrown from the
vehicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility of
ejection and the risk of injury caused by
striking the inside of the vehicle. Everyone in
a motor vehicle should be belted at all times.
WARNING!

NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint
on a seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in
front of it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to
the CHILD can occur.

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.
Should it be necessary to carry a child on
the passenger side front seat in a
rear-facing child restraint system, the
passenger side front air bag must be
deactivated. Always make sure the
airbag deactivation indicator light is illu -
minated when using a child restraint
system. The passenger seat must also be
positioned backward as far as possible to
avoid the child restraint system from
coming into contact with the dashboard.
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.

equipped with Rear Seat BeltAlert). The
respective Seat Belt Reminder light will illu -
minate solid red. If the seat belt is not
buckled when the vehicle exceeds a speci -
fied speed, the Rear Seat Belt Reminder
light will flash red and a continuous chime
will sound for approximately 30 seconds if
there is no change of status of the rear seat
belt buckles. If a rear seat passenger
unbuckles a seat belt while the vehicle is
travelling, the warning sequence will start
again and the Rear Seat Belt Reminder Light
for that position will change from green to
red. This will alert the driver to stop the
vehicle until the rear seat passenger buckles
the seat belt again. All rear seat BeltAlert
lights will remain illuminated for approxi -
mately 60 seconds (if equipped with Rear
Seat BeltAlert).

The Belt Reminder light will indicate if a rear
seat is not occupied and the seat belt is
unbuckled . If the rear seat is removed (for
vehicles with a removable rear seat) the Belt
Reminder light will illuminate two dashes .

Driver and Front Passenger BeltAlert can be
activated or deactivated by an authorized
dealer. Rear Seat BeltAlert cannot be deacti -
vated. FCA does not recommend deacti -
vating BeltAlert. NOTE:
If Front BeltAlert has been deactivated, the
Front Seat Belt Reminder Light will turn on
and remain on until the driver and outboard
front seat passenger 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
conditions. 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.
WARNING!
Relying on the air bags alone could lead
to more severe injuries in a collision. The
air bags work with your seat belt to
restrain you properly. In some collisions,
the air bags won’t deploy at all. Always
wear your seat belt even though you have
air bags.
In a collision, you and your passengers
can suffer much greater injuries if you
are not properly buckled up. You can
strike the interior of your vehicle or other
passengers, or you can be thrown out of
the vehicle. Always be sure you and
others in your vehicle are buckled up
properly.

It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area,
inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision,
people riding in these areas are more likely
to be seriously injured or killed.

Do not allow people to ride in any area of
your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts.

Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and using a seat belt properly. Occupants,
including the driver, should always wear
their seat belts whether or not an air bag is
also provided at their seating position to
minimize the risk of severe injury or death
in the event of a crash.

Lap/Shoulder Belt Untwisting Procedure
Use the following procedure to untwist a
twisted lap/shoulder belt.
1. Position the latch plate as close aspossible to the anchor point.
2. At about 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm) above the latch plate, grasp and twist the
seat belt webbing 180 degrees to create
a fold that begins immediately above the
latch plate.
3. Slide the latch plate upward over the folded webbing. The folded webbing
must enter the slot at the top of the latch
plate.
4. Continue to slide the latch plate up until it clears the folded webbing and the seat
belt is no longer twisted.
Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage
In the driver and outboard front passenger
seats, the top of the shoulder belt can be
adjusted upward or downward to position the
seat belt away from your neck. Push or
squeeze the anchorage button to release the
anchorage, and move it up or down to the
position that serves you best. Adjustable Upper Anchorage
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
average, you will prefer the shoulder belt
anchorage in a higher position. After you
release the anchorage button, try to move it
up or down to make sure that it is locked in
position.
NOTE:
The adjustable upper shoulder belt
anchorage is equipped with an Easy Up
feature. This feature allows the shoulder belt
anchorage to be adjusted in the upward posi -
tion without pushing or squeezing the
release button. To verify the shoulder belt
anchorage is latched, pull downward on the
shoulder belt anchorage until it is locked into
position.
WARNING!
Wearing your seat belt incorrectly could
make your injuries in a collision much
worse. You might suffer internal injuries,
or you could even slide out of the seat
belt. Follow these instructions to wear
your seat belt safely and to keep your
passengers safe, too.
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.
Misadjustment of the seat belt could
reduce the effectiveness of the safety
belt in a crash.
Always make all seat belt height adjust -
ments when the vehicle is stationary.

This vehicle may be equipped with driver
and/or front passenger seat track position
sensors that may adjust the inflation rate of
the Advanced Front Air Bags based upon
seat position.Front Air Bag Operation
Front Air Bags are designed to provide addi-
tional protection by supplementing the seat
belts. Front air bags are not expected to
reduce the risk of injury in rear, side, or roll -
over collisions. The front air bags will not
deploy in all frontal collisions, including
some that may produce substantial vehicle
damage — for example, some pole colli -
sions, truck underrides, and angle offset
collisions.
On the other hand, depending on the type
and location of impact, 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 indica -
tors 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. When the ORC detects a collision requiring
the front air bags, it signals the inflator units.
A large quantity of non-toxic gas is generated
to inflate the front air bags.
The steering wheel hub trim cover and the
upper passenger side of the instrument
panel separate and fold out of the way as the
air bags inflate to their full size. The front air
bags fully inflate in less time than it takes to
blink your eyes. The front air bags then
quickly deflate while helping to restrain the
driver and front passenger.
Passenger Air Bag Disable Feature — If
Equipped
This system allows the driver to DISABLE
(OFF) the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag
if a child restraint
must be installed in the
front seat. Only DISABLE (OFF) the
Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag if it is
absolutely necessary to install a child
restraint in the front seat. 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. (Refer to “Child Restraints” in this
section for further information.)
WARNING!
No objects should be placed over or near
the air bag on the instrument panel or
steering wheel because any such objects
could cause harm if the vehicle is in a
collision severe enough to cause the air
bag to inflate.
Do not put anything on or around the air
bag covers or attempt to open them
manually. You may damage the air bags
and you could be injured because the air
bags may no longer be functional. The
protective covers for the air bag cushions
are designed to open only when the air
bags are inflating.
Relying on the air bags alone could lead
to more severe injuries in a collision. The
air bags work with your seat belt to
restrain you properly. In some collisions,
air bags won’t deploy at all. Always wear
your seat belts even though you have air
bags.
