severe frontal, near frontal collisions. In
addition, during a side collision, the
pretensioner operates on the side in
which the collision occurs. The
pretensioners operate differently
depending on what types of air bags
are equipped. For details on the seat
belt pretensioner operation, refer to the
“SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria”
paragraph in this chapter.
When a collision is detected, the
pretensioners deploy simultaneously
with the air bags. For deployment
details, refer to the “SRS Air Bag
Deployment Criteria” paragraph in this
chapter.
The seat belt retractors remove slack
quickly as the air bags are expanding.
Any time the air bags and seat belt
pretensioners have fired they must be
replaced.
A system malfunction or operation
conditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to “Warning Lights And
Messages” and “Warning Sound Is
Activated” paragraph in “Knowing The
Instrument Panel” chapter.
With Passenger Occupant
Classification System
In addition, the pretensioner system for
the passenger, like the front and side
passenger Air Bag, is designed to only
deploy when the passenger occupant
classification sensor detects a
passenger sitting on the passenger's
seat.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 Occupant 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.
Load Limiter
The load limiting system releases belt
webbing in a controlled manner to
reduce belt force on the occupant's
chest.
While the most severe load on a seat
belt occurs in frontal collisions, the load
limiter has an automatic mechanical
function and can activate in any
accident mode with sufficient occupant
movement.
Even if the pretensioners have not fired,
the load limiting function must be
checked by an authorized dealer.
CHILD RESTRAINT
PRECAUTIONS
Child Restraints
FCA strongly urges the use of
child-restraint systems for children small
enough to use them.
FCA recommends use of a genuine
child-restraint system or one that
complies with regulation. If you would
like to purchase a FCA genuine
child-restraint system, please contact a
Authorized Dealership.
Check your local and state or provincial
laws for specific requirements regarding
the safety of children riding in your
vehicle.
Whatever child-restraint system you
consider, please pick the appropriate
one for the age and size of the child,
obey the law and follow the instructions
that come with the individual
child-restraint system.
A child who has outgrown
child-restraint systems should use seat
belts, both lap and shoulder. If the
shoulder belt crosses the neck or face,
move the child closer to the centre of
the vehicle.
A rear-facing child-restraint system
should NEVER be used on the
passenger seat with the Air Bag system
activated. In the event of an impact the
Air Bag activation may cause fatal
injuries to the transported child.
