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.

Air Bag Warning Light
The Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) monitors the readiness of the
electronic parts of the air bag
system whenever the ignition
switch is in the START or ON/RUN position.
If the ignition switch 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 bag system
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 switch is first 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 diagnos
-
tics also record the nature of the malfunction.
While the air 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 igni -
tion switch is first in the ON/RUN position.
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
engine 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 service
the air bag system immediately.
Redundant Air Bag Warning Light
If a fault with the Air Bag Warning
Light is detected, which could
affect the Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS), the Redundant Air
Bag Warning Light will illuminate on the
instrument panel. The Redundant Air Bag
Warning Light will stay on until the fault is
cleared. In addition, a single chime will
sound to alert you that the Redundant Air
Bag Warning Light has come on and a fault
has been detected. If the Redundant Air Bag
Warning Light comes on intermittently or
remains on while driving have an authorized
dealer service the vehicle immediately.
WARNING!
Ignoring the Air Bag Warning Light in your
instrument panel could mean you won’t
have the air bag system to protect you in a
collision. If the light does not come on as
a bulb check when the ignition is first
turned on, stays on after you start the
vehicle, or if it comes on as you drive, have
an authorized dealer service the air bag
system immediately.

Once the self-check is complete, only one
Passenger Air Bag Indicator Light should be
illuminated at a time. Passenger Air Bag DISABLE (OFF) Indicator
Light – Located On The Overhead Sports Bar
The Passenger Air Bag DISABLE (OFF) Indi -
cator Light tells the driver and front
passenger when the Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag is deactivated. The Passenger
Air Bag DISABLE (OFF) Indicator Light will
illuminate to show that the Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag will not deploy
during a collision. NEVER assume the
Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag is deacti -
vated unless the Passenger Air Bag DISABLE
(OFF) Indicator Light is illuminated.
Passenger Air Bag ENABLE (ON) Indicator
Light – Located On The Overhead Sports Bar
The Passenger Air Bag ENABLE (ON) Indi -
cator Light tells the driver and front
passenger when the Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag is activated. The Passenger Air
Bag ENABLE (ON) Indicator Light will illu -
minate to show that the Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag will deploy during an
impact that requires air bag deployment.
NEVER assume the Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag is activated unless the
Passenger Air Bag ENABLE (ON) Indicator
Light is illuminated.
DISABLING (OFF) The Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag
To DISABLE (OFF) the Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag, access the instrument cluster
display main menu located in the instrument
cluster by pushing the Up or Down arrow
button located on the steering wheel, then
complete the following actions:
WARNING!
If any of the above conditions occur,
indicating there is an issue with the
Passenger Air Bag Indicator Light, the
Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag will
remain in the last selected state
(DISABLED or ENABLED).
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.
Children 12 years or younger should
always ride buckled up in the rear seat of
a vehicle with a rear seat.

Event Data Recorder (EDR)
This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data
Recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an
EDR is to record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such as an air bag
deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data
that will assist in understanding how a
vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is
designed to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a short
period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record
such data as:
How various systems in your vehicle were
operating;
Whether or not the driver and passenger
safety belts were buckled/fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver was depressing
the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better under -
standing of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur. NOTE:
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if
a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data
are recorded by the EDR under normal
driving conditions and no personal data (e.g.,
name, gender, age, and crash location) are
recorded. However, other parties, such as
law enforcement, could combine the EDR
data with the type of personally identifying
data routinely acquired during a crash inves
-
tigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to
the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such
as law enforcement, that have the special
equipment, can read the information if they
have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
Child Restraints — Carrying Children
Safely
Warning Label On Front Passenger Sun Visor
Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled
up at all times, including babies and
children. EC directive 2003/20/EC requires
proper use of restraints in all EC countries.
Children less than 1.5 meters tall and 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.

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 immediately. 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. This light will illuminate
with a single chime when a fault with the Air
Bag Warning Light 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. Refer to “Occupant
Restraint Systems” in “Safety” for further
information.
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 inoperable.
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 pedal
assemblies. 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 pedal assemblies or impair
safe operation of your vehicle in other ways.
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 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.

STARTING AND OPERATING

Diesel Engine Idling — In Cold Weather
Avoid prolonged idling in ambient tempera-
tures below 0°F (-18°C). Long periods of
idling may be harmful to your engine
because combustion chamber temperatures
can drop so low that the fuel may not burn
completely. Incomplete combustion allows
carbon and varnish to form on piston rings
and injector nozzles. Also, the unburned fuel
can enter the crankcase, diluting the oil and
causing rapid wear to the engine.
Stopping the Engine
The following chart should be used as a
guide in determining the amount of engine
idle time required to sufficiently cool down
the turbocharger before shut down,
depending upon the type of driving and the
amount of cargo.
Before turning off your turbo diesel engine,
always allow the engine to return to normal idle
speed and run for several seconds. This
ensures proper lubrication of the turbocharger. This is particularly necessary after any period
of hard driving.
Idle the engine a few minutes before routine
shutdown. After full load operation, idle the
engine three to five minutes before shutting
it down. This idle period will allow the lubri
-
cating oil and coolant to carry excess heat
away from the combustion chamber, bear -
ings, internal components, and turbo -
charger. This is especially important for
turbocharged, charge air cooled engines.
