that it takes to blink your eyes. The bags then
quickly deflate while helping to restrain the
driver and front passenger. The driver’s front
airbag gas is vented through the vent holes in
the sides of the airbag. The passenger’s 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 Side Curtain Airbags
are designed to activate only in certain side
collisions and rollover events. When the ORC
detects a collision requiring the side curtain
airbag to inflate, it signals the inflators on the
crash side of the vehicle or both sides of the
vehicle for a rollover event. A quantity of non-
toxic gas is generated to inflate the side curtain
airbag. The inflating side curtain airbag pushes
the outside edge of the headliner out of the way
and covers the window. The airbag inflates in
about 30 milliseconds (about one quarter of the
time that it takes to blink your eyes) with enough
force to injure you if you are not belted and
seated properly, or if items are positioned in
the area where the side curtain airbag inflates.
This especially applies to children. The side
curtain airbag is only about 3
1/2
in (9 cm) thick
when it is inflated.
The following requirement must be strictly ad-
hered to:
• At no time should any supplemental restraint
system (SRS) component or SRS related com-
ponent or fastener be modified or replaced with
any part except those which are approved by
Chrysler/Mopar .
WARNING!
Unapproved modifications or service procedures
to the front passenger seat assembly or its
related components may inadvertently change
the airbag deployment in case of a frontal crash.
This could result in death or serious injury to the
front seat passenger if the vehicle is involved in
an accident.
If A Deployment Occurs
The airbag system is designed to deploy when
the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) detects
a moderate-to-severe collision, to help restrain the
driver and front passenger, and then to immediately
deflate.
NOTE:
A collision that is not severe enough to need
airbag protection will not activate the system.
This does not mean something is wrong with
the airbag system.
If you do have a collision, which deploys the
airbags, any or all of the following may occur:
• The nylon airbag material may sometimes
cause abrasions and/or skin reddening to the
driver and front passenger as the airbags de-
ploy and unfold. The abrasions are similar to
friction rope burns or those you might get
sliding along a carpet or gymnasium floor. They
are not caused by contact with chemicals. They
are not permanent and normally heal quickly.
However, if you haven’t healed significantly
within a few days, or if you have any blistering,
see your doctor immediately.
• As the airbags deflate, you may see some
smoke-like particles. The particles are a normal
by-product of the process that generates the
nontoxic gas used for airbag inflation. These
airborne particles may irritate the skin, eyes,
nose, or throat. If you have skin or eye irritation,
rinse the area with cool water. For nose or throat
irritation, move to fresh air. If the irritation con-
tinues, see your doctor. If these particles settle
on your clothing, follow the garment manufac-
turer’s instructions for cleaning.
• It is not advisable to drive your vehicle after the
airbags have deployed. If you are involved in
another collision, the airbags will not be in
place to protect you.
