TABLE OF CONTENTS

• The ORC turns on the Air Bag Warning Light in the instrument panel for approximately fourto eight seconds for a self-check when the ignition switch is first turned to 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 momen-
tarily or continuously. A single chime will sound to alert you if the light comes on again after
initial startup.
• The 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.
• If the Air Bag Warning Light in the instrument panel is not on during the four to eight seconds when the ignition switch is first turned to the ON/RUN position, stays on, or turns on while
driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center immediately.
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.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved in another
collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
• If it is necessary to modify the air bag system for persons with disabilities, contact your authorized dealer.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
Occupant Classification System
This vehicle is equipped with a right front passenger Occupant Classification System (“OCS”)
that is designed to provide Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag output appropriate to the
occupant’s seated weight input, as determined by the OCS.
The Occupant Classification System (OCS) consists of the following:
• Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
• Occupant Classification Module (OCM) and Sensor located in the front passenger seat
• Air Bag Warning Light
The OCS will NOT prevent deployment of the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag. The OCS may
reduce the inflation rate of the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag if the OCS estimates that:
• The front passenger seat is unoccupied or has very light objects on it; or
• The front passenger seat is occupied by a small passenger, including a child; or
• The front passenger seat is occupied by a rear-facing child restraint; or
• The front passenger is not properly seated or his or her weight is taken off of the seat for aperiod of time.
GETTING STARTED

Front Passenger Seat Occupant Status Front Passenger Air Bag Output
Rear-facing child restraint Reduced-power deployment
Child, including a child in a forward-facing child
restraint or booster seat* Full-power deployment OR reduced-power
deployment
Properly seated adult Full-power deployment OR reduced-power
deployment
Unoccupied seat Reduced-power deployment
* It is possible for a child to be classified as an adult, allowing a full-power Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag deployment. Never allow children to ride in the front passenger seat and never
install a child restraint system, including a rear-facing child restraint, in the front passenger seat.
The OCS determines the front passenger’s most probable classification.
The OCS estimates the seated weight on the front passenger seat and where that weight is
located. The OCS communicates the classification status to the ORC. The ORC uses the
classification to determine whether the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag inflation rate should
be adjusted. In order for the OCS to operate as designed, it is important for the front passenger
to be seated properly and properly wearing the seat belt. Properly seated passengers are:
• Sitting upright
• Facing forward
• Sitting in the center of the seat with their feet comfortably on or near the floor
• Sitting with their back against the seatback and the seatback in an upright position
Seated Properly

Lighter Weight Passengers (Including Small Adults)
When a lighter weight passenger, including a small adult, occupies the front passenger seat, the
OCS may reduce the inflation rate of the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag. This does not
mean that the OCS is working improperly.
Do not decrease OR increase the front passenger’s seated weight on the front passenger
seat
The front passenger’s seated weight must be properly positioned on the front passenger seat.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death. The OCS determines the most probable
classification of the occupant that it detects. The OCS will detect the front passenger’s de-
creased or increased seated weight, which may result in an adjusted inflation rate of the
Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag in a collision. This does not mean that the OCS is working
improperly. Decreasing the front passenger’s seated weight on the front passenger seat may
result in a reduced-power deployment of the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag. Increasing the
front passenger’s seated weight on the front passenger seat may result in a full-power deploy-
ment of the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag. Examples of improper front passenger seating
include:
• The front passenger’s weight is transferred to another part of the vehicle (like the door, armrest or instrument panel).
• The front passenger leans forward, sideways, or turns to face the rear of the vehicle.
• The front passenger’s seatback is not in the full upright position.
• The front passenger carries or holds an object while seated (e.g., backpack, box, etc.).
• Objects are lodged under the front passenger seat.
• Objects are lodged between the front passenger seat and center console.
• Accessories that may change the seated weight on the front passenger seat are attached to the front passenger seat.
• Anything that may decrease or increase the front passenger’s seated weight.
GETTING STARTED
22

The OCS determines the front passenger’s most probable classification. If an occupant in the
front passenger seat is seated improperly, the occupant may provide an output signal to the OCS
that is different from the occupant’s properly seated weight input, for example:
The Air Bag Warning Light
will turn on
whenever the OCS is unable to classify the
front passenger seat status. A malfunction in
the OCS may affect the operation of the air
bag system.
If the Air Bag Warning Light
does not
come on, or stays on after you start the vehicle,
or it comes on as you drive, take the vehicle to
an authorized dealer for service immediately.
The passenger seat assembly contains critical
components that may affect the Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag inflation. In order for
the OCS to properly classify the seated weight
of a front seat passenger, the OCS compo-
nents must function as designed.
Do not make any modifications to the front
passenger seat components, assembly, or to
the seat cover. If the seat, trim cover, or cushion
needs service for any reason, take the vehicle to
your authorized dealer. Only Chrysler Group
LLC approved seat accessories may be used.
The following requirements must be strictly
followed:
• Do not modify the front passenger seat as- sembly or components in any way.
• Do not use prior or future model year seat covers or cushions not designated by
Chrysler Group LLC for the specific model
being repaired. Always use the correct seat
cover and cushion specified for the vehicle.
• Do not replace the seat cover or cushion with an aftermarket seat cover or cushion.
• Do not add a secondary seat cover or mat.
• At no time should any Supplemental Re- straint System (SRS) component or SRS re-
lated component or fastener be modified or
replaced with any part except those which are approved by Chrysler Group LLC.

WARNING!
• Side Air Bags need room to inflate. Do not lean against the door or window. Sit upright inthe center of the seat.
• Being too close to the Side Air Bags during deployment could cause you to be severely
injured or killed.
• Relying on the Side Air Bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The
Side Air Bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions, Side Air
Bags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belt even though you have Side Air Bags.
• This vehicle is equipped with left and right Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains
(SABICs). Do not 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.
• This 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 permanent
attachments (bolts or screws) for installation on the vehicle roof. Do not drill into the roof
of the vehicle for any reason.
• 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.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
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.
Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in
proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
NOTE:
• For additional information, refer to www.Seatcheck.org or call 1-866-SEATCHECK.
• Canadian residents should refer to Transport Canada’s website for additional information:http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/motorvehiclesafety/safedrivers-childsafety-index-53.htm
LATCH — Lower Anchors And Tethers For CHildren
Your vehicle is equipped with the child restraint anchorage system called LATCH, which stands
for Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren.
The rear outboard seating positions have lower anchors and top tether anchors. The rear center
seating position has a top tether anchor only.
LATCH System Weight Limit
You may use the LATCH anchorage system until the combined weight of the child and the child
restraint is 65 lbs (29.5 kg). Use the seat belt and tether anchor instead of the LATCH system
once the combined weight is more than 65 lbs (29.5 kg).

Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
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. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally, and pull
it tight if necessary.
Tether Weight Limit
Always use the tether anchor when using the seat belt to install a forward facing child restraint, up
to the recommended weight limit of the child restraint.
To Install A Child Seat Using An ALR:
1. Pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to pass it through the belt path of thechild restraint. Do not twist the belt webbing in the belt path.
2. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.”
3. Pull on the webbing to make the lap portion tight against the child seat.
4. 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.
5. 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 the last step.
6. Finally, pull up on any extra webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child restraint while you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the vehicle seat.
7. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the seating position has a top tether anchorage, connect the tether strap to the anchorage and tighten the tether strap. See below for
directions to attach a tether anchor.
8. 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.
Installing The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower Anchors Or Vehicle
Seat Belt):
When installing a forward-facing child restraint, always secure the top tether strap, up to the
tether anchor weight limit, whether the child restraint is installed with the lower anchors or the
vehicle seat belt.
Tether Anchorage Installation
1. Rotate or lift the cover to access the anchor directly behind the seat where you are placing thechild restraint.
2. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the anchor and the child seat.
