Safety Checks You Should Make Inside
The Vehicle
Seat Belts
Inspect the seat belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, and loose parts.
Damaged parts must be replaced
immediately. Do not disassemble or
modify the system.
Front seat belt assemblies must be
replaced after a collision. Rear seat belt
assemblies must be replaced after a
collision if they have been damaged (i.e.,
bent retractor, torn webbing, etc.). If
there is any question regarding seat belt
or retractor condition, replace the seat
belt.
Air Bag Warning Light
The Air Bag warning light will turn on
for four to eight seconds as a bulb check
when the ignition switch is first turned to
ON/RUN. If the light is either not on
during starting, stays on, or turns on while
driving, have the system inspected at
your authorized dealer as soon as
possible. After the bulb check, this light
will illuminate with a single chime when a
fault with the Air Bag System has been
detected. It will stay on until the fault is
removed. If the light comes on
intermittently or remains on while
driving, have your authorized dealer
service the vehicle immediately.
Refer to “Occupant Restraint Systems” in
“Safety” for further information.
Defroster
Check operation by selecting the defrost
mode and place the blower control on
high speed. You should be able to feel the
air directed against the windshield. See
your authorized dealer for service if your
defroster is inoperable.
Floor Mat Safety Information
Always use floor mats designed to fit
your vehicle. Only use a floor mat that
does not interfere with the operation of
the accelerator, brake or clutch pedals.
Only use a floor mat that is securely
attached using the floor mat fasteners so
it cannot slip out of position and interfere
with the accelerator, brake or clutch
pedals or impair safe operation of your
vehicle in other ways.
Warning!
An improperly attached, damaged, folded, or
stacked floor mat, or damaged floor mat
fasteners may cause your floor mat to
interfere with the accelerator, brake, or
clutch pedals and cause a loss of vehicle
control. To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH:
ALWAYS securely attach your floor
mat using the floor mat fasteners. DO NOT
install your floor mat upside down or turn
your floor mat over. Lightly pull to confirm
mat is secured using the floor mat fasteners
on a regular basis.
ALWAYS REMOVETHE EXISTING FLOOR
MAT FROM THE VEHICLE
before
installing any other floor mat. NEVER install
or stack an additional floor mat on top of an
existing floor mat.
ONLY install floor mats designed to fit
your vehicle. NEVER install a floor mat that
cannot be properly attached and secured to
your vehicle. If a floor mat needs to be
replaced, only use a FCA approved floor mat
for the specific make, model, and year of
your vehicle.
ONLY use the driver’s side floor mat on
the driver’s side floor area. To check for
interference, with the vehicle properly
parked with the engine off, fully depress the
accelerator, the brake, and the clutch pedal
(if present) to check for interference. If your
floor mat interferes with the operation of
any pedal, or is not secure to the floor,
remove the floor mat from the vehicle and
place the floor mat in your trunk.
ONLY use the passenger’s side floor mat
on the passenger’s side floor area.
ALWAYS make sure objects cannot fall or
slide into the driver’s side floor area when
the vehicle is moving. Objects can become
trapped under accelerator, brake, or clutch
pedals and could cause a loss of vehicle
control.
NEVER place any objects under the floor
mat (e.g., towels, keys, etc.). These objects
could change the position of the floor mat
and may cause interference with the
accelerator, brake, or clutch pedals.
