Chrysler 2011 200 - User Guide - Manual (Page 12)

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) — AIRBAGS
• This vehicle has Advanced Front Airbags for both the driver and right front passenger as a
supplement to the seat belt restraint system. The Advanced Front Airbags will not deploy in
every type of collision.
• Advanced Front Airbags are designed to provide additional protection by supplementing the
seat belts in certain frontal collisions depending on the severity and type of collision. Advanced
Front Airbags are not expected to reduce the risk of injury in rear, side, or rollover collisions.
• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtains to protect the
driver, front and rear passengers sitting next to a window.
• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Airbags to provide enhanced
protection to help protect an occupant during a side impact.
• If the Airbag Warning Light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving,
have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center immediately.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS).
WARNING!
• Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The airbags
work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions, the airbags won't
deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have airbags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front Airbag
deployment could cause serious injury, including death. Airbags need room to inflate. Sit
back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or instrument panel.
• Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtains and Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Airbags need room to inflate. Do not lean against the door or window. Sit upright in the
center of the seat.
• Being too close to the Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtain and/or
Seat-Mounted Side Airbag during deployment could cause you to be severely injured or
killed.
• Do not 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.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
• Children 12 years and under should ride properly buckled 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.
• Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in
proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
Installing The LATCH-Compatible Child Restraint System
• Your vehicle's second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraint anchorage
system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren.
