Dodge 2004 Stratus Coupe - Manual (Page 69)

WARNING!
• To reduce the risk of severe or fatal injury from a
deploying passenger air bag, make sure the pas-
senger is also properly wearing their seat belt,
remains sitting well back and upright in their seat
and the seat is moved as far back as possible.
Refer to “Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) -
air bag” on page 89.
• Never hold an infant or child in your arms or on
your lap when riding in a vehicle even if you are
wearing your seat belt. Also never place any part
of the seat belt you are wearing around an infant
or child. To do so risks severe or fatal injury to
your child in a collision or sudden stop.
• All children 12 years old and under should always
ride in the rear seat, properly restrained, in order
to reduce risk of serious or fatal injury in a
collision, including from the deployment of a
front passenger air bag. Refer to “Child restraints”
on page 76.
WARNING!
• Any child who is too small to properly wear a seat
belt must be properly restrained in an appropriate
child restraint system. To reduce the risk of severe
or fatal injury in a collision, including from the
deployment of a front passenger air bag, children
should be seated only in the rear seat. Infants
must be in a rear-facing child safety seat and be
seated only in the rear seat.
UNIBELT restraint system
All seats are equipped with a UNIBELT system which
uses a single combined lap-and-shoulder belt with an
emergency locking retractor.
This system is designed to provide comfort and safety by
permitting full extension and automatic retraction of the
belts during normal vehicle operation. A sensing device
inside the belt retractor is designed to lock the retractor in
the event of an abrupt change in vehicle motion.
NOTE : For instruction on how to install a child restraint
system, see “Installing a child restraint system with a
UNIBELT” on page 82.
