 WARNING!
Adjusting  a  seat  while  driving  may  be
dangerous.  Moving  a  seat  while  driving
could result in loss of control which could
cause  a  collision  and  serious  injury  or
death.
Seats should be adjusted before fastening
the  seat  belts  and  while  the  vehicle  is
parked.  Serious  injury  or  death  could
result from a poorly adjusted seat belt.
Do  not  ride with the seatback reclined so
that the shoulder belt is no longer resting
against your chest. In a collision you could
slide  under  the  seat  belt,  which  could
result in serious injury or death.
 CAUTION!
Do not place any article under a power seat
or  impede  its  ability  to  move  as  it  may
cause  damage  to  the  seat  controls.  Seat
travel  may  become  limited  if  movement  is

It is also possible to disengage the sections of
the rear seat from inside the luggage compart -
ment or by using one of the two levers located
below the rear seat. Each lever folds down the
section of the backrest on the same side.
 WARNING!
Be  certain  that  the  seatback  is  securely
locked  into  position.  If  the  seatback  is  not
securely  locked  into  position  the  seat  will
not  provide  the  proper  stability  for  child
seats  and/or  passengers.  An  improperly
latched seat could cause serious injury.

Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating Instructions
1. Enter  the  vehicle  and  close  the  door.  Sitback and adjust the seat.
2. The seat belt latch plate is above the back of  the  front  seat,  and  next  to  your  arm  in
the rear seat (for vehicles equipped with a
rear seat). Grab the latch plate and pull out
the  seat  belt.  Slide  the  latch  plate  up  the
webbing  as  far  as  necessary  to  allow  the
seat belt to go around your lap.
3. When  the  seat  belt  is  long  enough  to  fit, insert  the  latch  plate into  the  buckle  until
you hear a “click.” Seat Belt Latch Plate Inserted Into Seat Belt 
Buckle
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. To  release  the  seat  belt,  push  the  red button  on  the  buckle.  The  seat  belt  will
automatically  retract  to  its  stowed  posi -
tion.  If  necessary,  slide  the  latch  plate
down the webbing to allow the seat belt to
retract fully.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Untwisting Procedure  
Use  the  following  procedure  to  untwist  a
twisted lap/shoulder belt.
1. Position  the  latch  plate  as  close  as possible to the anchor point.
2. At  about  6  to  12 inches  (15  to  30  cm) above  the  latch  plate,  grab  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 posi -
tion that serves you best.
A shoulder belt placed behind you will not
protect  you  from  injury  during  a  collision.
You  are  more  likely  to  hit  your  head  in  a
collision  if  you  do  not  wear  your  shoulder
belt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant
to be used together.
A frayed or torn seat belt could rip apart in
a  collision  and  leave  you  with  no  protec -
tion. Inspect the seat belt system periodi -
cally,  checking  for  cuts,  frays,  or  loose
parts.  Damaged  parts  must  be  replaced
immediately.  Do  not  disassemble  or
modify  the  seat  belt  system.  Seat  belt
assemblies must be replaced after a colli -
sion.

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.
When the Occupant Restraint Controller (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.
Knee Impact Bolsters 
The  Knee  Impact  Bolsters  help  protect  the
knees  of  the  driver  and  front  passenger,  and
position  the  front  occupants  for  improved
interaction with the front air bags.
Supplemental Driver And Front Passenger 
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  Supplemental  Knee
Air Bags provide enhanced protection during a
frontal  impact  by  working  together  with  the
seat belts, pretensioners, and front air bags.
Supplemental Side Air Bags
Supplemental  Seat-Mounted  Side  Air  Bags
(SABs)
This  vehicle  is  equipped  with  Supplemental
Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SABs).
Supplemental  Seat-Mounted  Side  Air  Bags
(SABs) are located in the outboard side of the
front  seats.  The  SABs  are  marked  with  “SRS
AIRBAG” or “AIRBAG” on a label or on the seat
trim on the outboard side of the seats.
The SABs may help to reduce the risk of occu-
pant injury during certain side impacts, in addi-
tion  to  the  injury  reduction  potential  provided
by the seat belts and body structure. Front Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air 
Bag
When the  SAB  deploys,  it  opens the  seam  on
the outboard side of the seatback’s trim cover.
The  inflating  SAB  deploys  through  the  seat
seam  into  the  space  between  the  occupant
and  the  door.  The  SAB  moves  at  a  very  high
speed and with such a high force that it could
injure  occupants  if  they  are  not  seated  prop -
erly,  or  if  items  are  positioned  in  the  area
where  the  SAB  inflates.  Children  are  at  an
even greater risk of injury from a deploying air
bag.
 WARNING!
Do  not  drill,  cut,  or  tamper  with  the  knee
impact bolsters in any way.
Do not mount any accessories to the knee
impact  bolsters  such  as  alarm  lights,
stereos, citizen band radios, etc.
 WARNING!
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.

Transporting Pets   
Air Bags deploying in the front seat could harm
your  pet.  An  unrestrained  pet  will  be  thrown
about  and  possibly  injured,  or  injure  a
passenger  during  panic  braking  or  in  a  colli-
sion.
Pets  should  be  restrained  in  the  rear  seat  (if
equipped) in pet harnesses or pet carriers that
are secured by seat belts.
Safety Checks You Should Make Inside The 
Vehicle 
Seat Belts  
Inspect  the  seat  belt  system  periodically,
checking  for  cuts,  frays,  and  loose  parts.
Damaged  parts  must  be  replaced  immedi -
ately.  Do  not  disassemble  or  modify  the
system.
Front  seat  belt  assemblies  must  be  replaced
after  a  collision.  Rear  seat  belt  assemblies
must be replaced after a collision if they have
been  damaged  (i.e.,  bent  retractor,  torn
webbing,  etc.).  If  there  is  any  question regarding  seat  belt  or  retractor  condition,
replace the seat belt.
Air Bag Warning Light  
The  Air  Bag  warning  light    will  turn  on  for
four to eight seconds as a bulb check when the
ignition switch is first turned to ON/RUN. If the
light  is  either  not on during starting, stays on,
or  turns  on  while  driving,  have  the  system
inspected at  an authorized  dealer  as  soon  as
possible.  After  the  bulb  check,  this  light  will
illuminate  with  a  single  chime  when  a  fault
with the Air Bag System has been detected. It
will  stay  on  until  the  fault  is  removed.  If  the
light  comes  on  intermittently  or  remains  on
while  driving,  have  an  authorized  dealer
service the vehicle immediately  
Ú
page 163.
Defroster  
Check operation by selecting the defrost mode
and  place  the  blower  control  on  high  speed.
You  should  be  able  to  feel  the  air  directed
against  the  windshield.  See  an  authorized
dealer  for  service  if  your  defroster  is  inoper -
able.
Floor Mat Safety Information
Always  use  floor  mats  designed  to  fit  your
vehicle.  Only  use  a  floor  mat  that  does  not
interfere with the operation of the accelerator,
brake  or  clutch  pedals.  Only  use  a  floor  mat
that  is  securely  attached  using  the  floor  mat
fasteners so it cannot slip out of position and
interfere  with the accelerator,  brake  or clutch pedals or impair safe operation of your vehicle
in other ways.
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.
 WARNING!
 (Continued)
 WARNING!
An  improperly  attached,  damaged,  folded,
or stacked floor mat, or damaged floor mat
fasteners  may  cause  your  floor  mat  to

clutch  pedals  and  cause  a  loss  of  vehicle
control.  To  prevent  SERIOUS  INJURY  or
DEATH:
ALWAYS securely attach   your 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  VEHICLE    before
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.
