INTRODUCTIONCongratulations on selecting your new Chrysler LLC

vehicle. Be assured that it represents precision workman-

ship, distinctive styling, and high quality - all essentials

that are traditional to our vehicles.

This is a specialized utility vehicle d esigned for both

on-road and off-road use. It can go places and perform

tasks for which conventional two-wheel drive enclosed

vehicles were not intended. It handles and maneuvers

differently from many passenger cars both on-road and

off-road, so take time to become familiar with your

vehicle.

The two-wheel drive utility vehicle was designed foron-road use only. It is not i ntended for off-road driving

or use in other severe conditions suited for a four-wheel

drive vehicle.

Before you start to drive this vehicle, read the Owners

Manu al. Be sure you are familiar with all vehicle controls,

OCCUPANT RESTRAINTSSome of the most important safety features in your

vehicle are the restraint systems. These include the front

and rear seat belts for the d river and all passengers, front

airbags for both the driver and front passenger, and side

a irba gs (if e qu ip p e d ) fo r b oth th e d riv er a n d fron t

passenger. If you will be carrying children too small for

adu lt-sized belts, your seat belts can also be u sed to hold

infant and child restraint systems.

NOTE: The front airbags h ave a multistage inflator

design. This allows the airbag to have different rates of

inflation that are based on collision severity.

Please pay close attention to the information in this

section. It tells you how to u se your restraint systemproperly, to keep you and your passengers as safe as

possible.

WARNING! (Continued)

Two people should never be belted into a single

seat belt. People belted together can crash into one

another in an accident, hurting one another badly.

Never use a lap/shoulderbelt or a lap belt formore

than one person, no matter what their size.

Lap/Shoulde r Belt Operating Instructions

1. Enter the vehicle and close the door. Sit back and

adjust the seat.

2. The seat belt latch p late is above the back of the front

seat, next to your arm in the rear seat. Grasp the latch

meant to be used together.

4. Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your

abdom en. To remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull u p

on th e shou lder belt. To loosen th e lap belt if it is too tight,

tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt

reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision.

NOTE: The Seat Belt Reminder Light will remain on

possible and keep it snug.

A twisted belt cannot do its job as well. In a

collision, it could even cut into you. Be sure the

belt is straight. If you cannot straighten a belt in

your vehicle, take it to your authorized dealer and

have it fixed.

5. Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is

comfortable and not resting on your neck. The retractorwill withdraw any slack in the belt.

Rear Center Lap/Shoulder Belt Retractor Lockout(Four-Door Models Only)This feature is designed to lock the retractor whenever

the 60% rear seatback is not fully latched. This prevents

someone from wearing the rear center lap/ shoulder belt

when the rear seatback is not fully latched.

NOTE:

If the rear center lap/ shoulder belt cannot be p ulled

If the rear seatback is properly latched and the rear

NOTE: These devices are not a substitute for proper seat

worn snugly and positioned properly.

The pretensioners are triggered by the Occupant Re-straint Control (ORC) Module. Like the airbags, the

pretensioners are a single use item. After a collision that

is severe enough to dep loy the airbags and p retensioners,

they m ust be replaced.

Enhanced Seat Belt Use Reminder System(BeltAlert)If the drivers seat belt has not been buckled within

60 seconds of starting the vehicle and if the vehicle speed

is greater than 5 mph (8 km/ h), the Enhanced Seat Belt

Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS)This vehicle has airbags for both the d river and right

front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint

systems. The drivers front airbag is mounted in the

steering w heel. The front p assenger airbag is moun ted in

the instrument panel, above the glove compartment. Theletters SRS are embossed on the airbag covers. NOTE: The front airbags are

WARNING!

Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more

severe injuries in a collision. The airbags w ork

with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In

some collisions, the airbags wont deploy at all.

Always wear your seat belts even though you haveairbags.

Being too close to the steering w heel or instrument

panel during airbag deployment could cause seri-

ous injury. Airbags need room to inflate. Sit back,

comfortably extending your arms to reach the

steering wheel or instrument panel.

If the vehicle h as side airbags, they also ne ed room

to infl ate. Do not lean against the d oor. Sit uprightin the center of the seat.

How the Airbag System Works

The Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) Module d e-

termines if a frontal or side collision is severe enough

to require the front and/ or side airbags to inflate. The

front airbag inflators are d esigned to p rovide d ifferent

rates of airbag inflation from direction provided by the

ORC.

The ORC also m onitors the readiness of the electronic

parts of the system whenever the ignition switch is in

the START or ON positions. These include all of the

items listed above except the knee bolster, the instru-ment panel, and the steering wheel and column. If the

key is in the LOCK position, in the ACC position, or

not in the ignition, the airbags are not on and will not

inflate.

The Driver and Passenger Airbag/Inflator Units are The Side Impact (SRS) Seat-



56/495

The Driver and Passenger Airbag/Inflator Units are

located in the center of the steering wheel and the right

side of the instrument panel. When the ORC detects a

collision requiring the airbags, it signals the inflator

un its. A large quantity of n on-toxic gas is generated to

inflate the front airbags. Different airba g inflation rates

are possible, based on collision severity. The steeringwheel hub trim cover and the upper right side of the

instrument panel separate and fold out of the way as

the bags inflate to their full size. The bags fully inflate

in about 50 to 70 milliseconds. This is about half of the

time it takes to blink your eyes. The bags then quickly

deflate while helping to restrain the driver and front

passenger.

The driver front airbag gas is vented through the ventholes in the sides of the airbag. The passenger front

airbag gas is vented through the vent holes in the sides

of the airbag. In this way, the airbags do not interfere

with your control of the vehicle.

The Side Impact (SRS) Seat-

(If Equipped) are designed to

side collisions.

Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up at all

times, including babies and children. Every state in the

United States and all Canadian provinces require that

small children rid e in p roper restraint systems. This is the

law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.

Children 12 years and und er should ride properly buck-

led 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.

There are different sizes and types of restraints for

children from newborn size to the child almost large

enough for an adult safety belt. Always check the child

seat owners manual to ensure you have the correct seat

for your child. Use the restraint that is correct for your

child.

Before buying any restraint system, make sure that it

has a label certifying that it meets all applicable Safety

Standards. The manufacturer also recommends that

you try a child restraint in the vehicle seats wh ere you

will use it before you buy it.

The restraint must be appropriate for your childs

weight an d height. Check the label on the restraint for

weight and height limits.

Carefully follow the instructions that come with the

restraint. If you install the restraint improp erly, it m ay

not work when you need it.
