•A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop you could move
too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear your seat belt snugly.
• A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection. Inspect the belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts.
Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Do not disassemble or modify the
system. Seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a collision if they have been
damaged (bent retractor, torn webbing, etc.).
• The seat belts for both front seating positions are equipped with pretensioning devices that are designed to remove slack from the seat belt in the event of a
collision.
• A deployed pretensioner or a deployed air bag must be replaced immediately.
WARNING!
In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are
not buckled up properly. 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.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) — AIR BAGS
• This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and right front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint system. The Advanced Front
Air Bags will not deploy in every type of collision.
• Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection by supplementing the seat belts in certain frontal collisions depending on several
factors, including the severity and type of collision. Advanced Front Air Bags are
not expected to reduce the risk of injury in rear, side, or rollover collisions.
• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains to protect the driver, front and rear passengers sitting next to a window.
• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags to provide enhanced protection to help protect an occupant during a side impact.
•
If the Air Bag Warning Lightis not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while
driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center immediately.

• Ignoring the Rearview Mirror light could mean you may not have 9-1-1 Call
service when you need it. If the Rearview Mirror light is illuminated, have an
authorized dealer service the 9-1-1 Call system immediately.
• The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) turns on the Air Bag Warning Light on
the instrument panel if a malfunction is detected in any part of the air bag
system. If the Air Bag Warning Light is illuminated, the air bag system may not
be working properly and the 9-1-1 system may not be able to send a signal to

dangerous road conditions or location), do not wait for voice contact from a
9-1-1 operator. All occupants should exit the vehicle immediately and move to
a safe location.
• The 9-1-1 Call system is embedded into the vehicle’s electrical system. Do not
add any aftermarket electrical equipment to the vehicle’s electrical system.
This may prevent your vehicle from sending a signal to initiate an emergency
call. To avoid interference that can cause the 9-1-1 Call system to fail, never
add aftermarket equipment (e.g., two-way mobile radio, CB radio, data
recorder, etc.) to your vehicle’s electrical system or modify the antennas on
your vehicle. IF YOUR VEHICLE LOSES BATTERY POWER FOR ANY REASON
(INCLUDING DURING OR AFTER AN ACCIDENT), THE UCONNECT
®FEA-
