THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 61 Side Inflatable Curtain and Front seat-mounted Airbags - If equipped The Occupant Restraint Controller System (ORC) deploys the side inflatable curtain and seat-mounted thorax side airbags during collision with other vehicles and during collisions where the impact is confined to a particular area of the vehicle - such as collisions with poles, trees or similar objects. It will deploy the side inflatable curtains and front seat thorax mounted airbags only on the impact side of the vehicle. The front driver and passenger seat contain inflatable side airbags to protect the occupant from impact injuries. Correctly functioning front passenger seat components are critical for the ORC to properly classify the front passenger and calculate the proper airbag deployment. Do not make any modifications to the front passenger seat components, assembly, or to the seat cover. The following requirements must be strictly adhered to: • Do not make any modifications to the front passenger seat components, assembly, or to the seat cover in any way. • Do not use prior or future model year seat covers not designated for the specific model being repaired. Always use the correct seat cover specified for the vehicle. • Do not replace the seat cover with an aftermarket seat cover. • Do not add a secondary seat cover other than those approved by Chrysler/Mopar௡. • At no time should any supplemental restraint system (SRS) component or SRS related component or fastener be modified or replaced with any part except those which are approved by Chrysler/Mopar௡. 2
