Repeat Steps 1 and 2 on the opposite sliding door if equipped. To open the liftgate, depress the liftgate release handle located on the underside of the license plate bar and pull the liftgate open with one fluid motion. Liftgate Handle Location If the liftgate is locked and is not equipped with the power liftgate feature, pressing the button on the RKE transmitter will result in the liftgate becoming unlocked for 30 seconds allowing you to manually access the liftgate area.
Press the button on the transmitter twice within five seconds, to open the power liftgate. When the liftgate is fully open, pressing the button twice within five seconds, a second time, will close the liftgate. The power liftgate may also be opened and closed by pressing the button located on the front overhead console. Pushing once will only close the liftgate. This button cannot be used to open the liftgate.
During power operation, personal injury or cargo damage may occur. Ensure the liftgate travel path is clear. Make sure the liftgate is closed and latched before driving away. Light pressure anywhere along these strips will cause the liftgate to return to the open position. If the liftgate is not in the full open or close positions, it must be opened or closed manually. Be sure to remove any buildup of snow or ice from the liftgate before pressing any of the power liftgate buttons.
You and your passengers could be injured by these fumes. Keep the liftgate closed when you are operating the vehicle. DO NOT use the recirculation mode. However, because the gas pressure drops with temperature, it may be necessary to assist the props when opening the liftgate in cold weather.
Always close the storage bin covers when your vehicle is unattended. Do not allow children to have access to the second row seat storage bins. Once in the storage bin, young children may not be able to escape. If trapped in the storage bin, children can die from suffocation or heat stroke.
In an accident, serious injury could result if the seat storage bin covers are not properly latched. The storage bin cover must be flat and locked to avoid damage from contact with the front seat tracks, which have minimal clearance to the cover. Storage Bin Cover Emergency Release Lever NOTE: In the event of an individual being locked inside the storage bin, the storage bin cover can be opened from inside of the bin by pushing on the glow-in-the-dark lever attached to the storage bin cover latching mechanism.
NOTE: In the event of an individual being locked inside the storage bin, the storage bin cover can be opened from inside of the bin by pulling on the glow-in-the-dark strap attached to the storage bin cover latching mechanism.
Reinstalling Storage Bin Cover Emergency Release Strap If the storage bin cover strap disengages from the latch, it can be reinstalled by inserting the loose end of the strap into the latch mechanism. Push the strap into the latch mechanism until it engages around the latch post. The strap is intended for emergency release only.
If you will be carrying children too small for adult-size seat belts, your seat belts or the Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren LATCH feature also can be used to hold infant and child restraint systems. NOTE: The front airbags have a multistage inflator design. This allows the airbag to have different rates of inflation that are based on collision severity. Please pay close attention to the information in this section. It tells you how to use your restraint system properly to keep you and your passengers as safe as possible.
In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not properly buckled up. You can strike the interior of your vehicle or other passengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle.
Always be sure you and others in your vehicle are buckled up properly. Buckle up even though you are an excellent driver, even on short trips. Someone on the road may be a poor driver and cause a collision that includes you.
This can happen far away from home or on your own street. Some of the worst injuries happen when people are thrown from the vehicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility of ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the vehicle.
Everyone in a motor vehicle should be belted at all times. The belt webbing in the retractor is designed to lock during very sudden stops or collisions. This feature allows the shoulder part of the belt to move freely with you under normal conditions. But in a collision, the belt will lock and reduce the risk of your striking the inside of the vehicle or being thrown out. It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
Seat belts are designed to go around the large bones of your body. These are the strongest parts of your body and can take the forces of a collision the best. Two people should never be belted into a single seat belt. People belted together can crash into one another in a collision, hurting one another badly. You might suffer internal injuries, or you could even slide out of part of the belt. Follow these instructions to wear your seat belt safely and to keep your passengers safe, too.
Enter the vehicle and close the door. Sit back and adjust the seat. The seat belt latch plate is near the seatback of the front seats and next to your arm in the rear seats. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the belt. Slide the latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to allow the belt to go around your lap. A belt that is worn under your arm is very dangerous.
Your body could strike the inside surfaces of the vehicle in a collision, increasing head and neck injury. A belt worn under the arm can cause internal injuries.
Wear the belt over your shoulder so that your strongest bones will take the force in a collision. Latch Plate A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a collision. You are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear your shoulder belt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used together. The lap portion could ride too high on your body, possibly causing internal injuries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you.
In a sudden stop you could move too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear your seat belt snugly. Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. To remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt.
A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision. Always wear the lap belt as low as possible and keep it snug. In a collision it could even cut into you. Be sure the belt is straight. Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck.
The retractor will withdraw any slack in the belt. To release the belt, push the red button on the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position. If necessary, slide the latch plate down the webbing to allow the belt to retract fully. A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection. Inspect the belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately.
Do not disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a collision if they have been damaged bent retractor, torn webbing, etc. Third Row Center Shoulder Belt Instructions The shoulder belt for the third row center seat is located in the headliner slightly behind the third row seat.
To release the small latch plate, position the end of the large latch plate against the red button on the small buckle and push upward. Reinstall the latch plates into the headliner. Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage In the front seats and the second row outboard seats, the shoulder belt anchorage can be adjusted upward or downward to help position the belt away from your neck. To move the anchorage downward, squeeze the actuation buttons while simultaneously pushing down on the anchorage assembly.
As a guide, if you are shorter than average you will prefer a lower position, and if you are taller than average you will prefer a higher position. When you release the anchorage, try to move it up or down to make sure that it is locked in position. The belt will still retract to remove any slack in the shoulder belt. Children 12 years old and younger should be properly restrained in the rear seat whenever possible. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull downward until the entire belt is extracted.
Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts, you will hear a clicking sound. This indicates the safety belt is now in the automatic locking mode. These devices improve the performance of the seat belt by assuring that the belt is tight about the occupant early in a collision. Pretensioners work for all size occupants, including those in child restraints. NOTE: These devices are not a substitute for proper seat belt placement by the occupant.
The seat belt still must be worn snugly and positioned properly. Like the front airbags, the pretensioners are single use items. After a collision that is severe enough to deploy the airbags and pretensioners, both must be replaced. The driver should also instruct all other occupants to buckle their seat belts.
DaimlerChrysler does not recommend deactivating BeltAlertt. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position engine does not need to be running , and wait for the Seat Belt Warning Light to turn off.
Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. BeltAlertt can be reactivated by repeating this procedure. Seat Belts and Pregnant Women We recommend that pregnant women use the seat belts throughout their pregnancies. Keeping the mother safe is the best way to keep the baby safe. Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the belt across the thighs and as snug across the hips as possible.
Keep the belt low so that it does not come across the abdomen. That way the strong bones of the hips will take the force if there is a collision. This extender should be used only if the existing belt is not long enough. When it is not required, remove the extender and stow it. Supplemental Restraint System SRS - Airbag This vehicle has airbags for both the driver and front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint systems.
NOTE: The front airbags are certified to the Federal regulations that allow less forceful deployment. Using a seat belt extender when not needed can increase the risk of injury in a collision. Only use when the lap belt is not long enough when it is worn low and snug, and in the recommended seating positions. Remove and store the extender when not needed. The front airbags have a multistage inflator design. This may allow the airbag to have different rates of inflation that are based on collision severity and occupant size.
NOTE: Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim; but they will open to allow airbag deployment. This system provides output appropriate to the level of crash severity as determined by the Occupant Restraint Controller ORC and the impact sensors at the front of the car. The timing of the second stage determines whether the output force is low, medium, or high. If a low output is sufficient to meet the need, the second stage is expended later in the crash event. In addition to the small size, the inflating gases exit through strategically placed vents, which direct the gas away from the occupant.
Front Passenger Airbag Special Features A new active venting front passenger airbag is designed to reduce the risk of occupants who may be out of position by the use of active vents positioned on each side of the airbag. The seat-mounted side airbag is marked with an airbag label sewn into the outboard side of the seat. You may damage the airbags and you could be injured because the airbag inflation capability may be compromised.
The protective covers for the airbag cushions are designed to open only when the airbags are inflating. Each airbag deploys independently, that is a left side impact deploys the left airbag only and a right-side impact deploys only the right airbag.
Each airbag features inflated chambers placed adjacent to the head of each outboard occupant that reduce the potential for side-impact head injuries.
The curtains deploy downward, covering both windows on the impact side. The system includes sensors adjacent to both front and rear seat occupants that are calibrated to deploy during an impact severe enough to require airbag occupant protection.
The area where the side curtain airbag is located should remain free from any obstructions. Airbags inflate in moderate to high speed impacts. Along with seat belts and pretensioners, front airbags work with the knee bolsters to provide improved protection for the driver and front passenger. Side airbags also work with seat belts to improve occupant protection. The seat belts are designed to protect you in many types of collisions. The front airbags deploy in moderate to severe frontal collisions.
In certain types of collisions, both the front and side airbags may be triggered. However, even in collisions where the airbags work, you need the seat belts to keep you in the right position for the airbags to protect you properly. Here are some simple steps you can take to minimize the risk of harm from a deploying airbag.
Children 12 years old and younger should always ride buckled up in a rear seat. Infants in rear-facing child restraints should NEVER ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger front airbag. An airbag deployment can cause severe injury or death to infants in that position. Children that are not big enough to wear the vehicle seat belt properly see Section on Child Restraints should be secured in the rear seat in child restraints or beltpositioning booster seats.
Older children who do not use 71 child restraints or belt-positioning booster seats should ride properly buckled up in the rear seat. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behind them or under their arm.
If a child from 1 to 12 years old must ride in the front passenger seat because the vehicle is crowded, move the seat as far back as possible, and use the proper child restraint. Refer to the section on Child Restraints. You should read the instructions provided with your child restraint to make sure that you are using it properly.
All occupants should wear their lap and shoulder belts properly. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical to allow the front airbags room to inflate. If your vehicle has side airbags, do not lean against the door, airbags will inflate forcefully into the space between you and the door. If the airbag system in this vehicle needs to be modified to accommodate a disabled person, contact the Customer Center.
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. Always wear your seat belts even though you have airbags. Airbags need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or instrument panel. Do not lean against the door. Sit upright in the center of the seat. The ORC determines if a frontal or side collision is severe enough to require the airbags to inflate.
These include all of the components listed above except the steering wheel and column, instrument panel, and seat belt reminder light. If the key is in the OFF position, in the ACC position, or not in the ignition, the airbags are not on and will not inflate. The ORC contains a backup power supply system that will deploy the airbags even if the battery loses power or it becomes disconnected prior to deployment. A single chime will sound if the light comes on again after initial start up.
It also includes diagnostics that will illuminate the instrument cluster AIRBAG warning light if a malfunction is noted. The diagnostics also record the nature of the malfunction. If the light does not come on, stays on after you start the vehicle, or if it comes on as you drive, have the airbag system checked right away. Additional sensors in the ORC determine the level of airbag deployment and provide verification. Acceleration Sensors Acceleration Sensors trigger airbag deployment based on dramatic acceleration change of the vehicle.
Pressure Sensors Pressure Sensors trigger airbag deployment based on door cavity pressure changes. If A Deployment Occurs The airbag systems are designed to deploy when the Occupant Restraint Controller ORC detect a moderateto-severe collision, to help restrain the driver, front passenger and rear passengers, and then immediately deflate. NOTE: A frontal 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. 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.
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. If the irritation continues, see your doctor. If you are involved in another collision, the airbags will not be in place to protect you. Deployed airbags and seat belt pretensioners cannot protect you in another collision.
Have the airbags, seat belt pretensioners, and the front passenger seat belt retractor assembly replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Also, have the Occupant Restraint Controller System serviced as well. You could be injured if the airbag system is not there to protect you. Do not modify the components or wiring, including adding any kind of badges or stickers to the steering wheel hub trim cover or the upper right side of the instrument panel.
Do not modify the front bumper, vehicle body structure, or add aftermarket side steps or running boards. Be sure to tell anyone who works on your vehicle that it has an airbag system. Do not attempt to modify any part of your advanced airbag system. The airbag may inflate accidentally or may not function properly if modifications are made. Take your vehicle to an authorized dealer for any advanced airbag system service. Only manufacturer approved seat accessories may be used.
If it is necessary to modify an advanced airbag system for persons with disabilities, contact your authorized dealer. While the airbag system is designed to be maintenance free, if any of the following occurs, have an authorized dealer service the system immediately. The airbags may not be ready to inflate for your protection. Promptly check the fuse block for blown fuses. See your authorized dealer if the fuse is good. Under certain circumstances, EDR data may not be recorded e.
In conjunction with other data gathered during a complete accident investigation, the electronic data may be used by DaimlerChrysler Corporation and others to learn more about the possible causes of crashes and associated injuries in order to assess and improve vehicle performance. In addition to crash investigations initiated by DaimlerChrysler Corporation, such investigations may be requested by customers, insurance carriers, government officials, and professional crash researchers, such as those associated with universities, and with hospital and insurance organizations.
NOTE: 1. A near-deployment event occurs when the airbag sensor detects severe vehicle deceleration usually indicative of a crash, but not severe enough to warrant airbag deployment.

Requested by police under a legal warrant. Otherwise required by law. 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. Children 12 years and younger should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat.
According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats rather than in the front. In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a missile inside the vehicle.
The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and others could be badly injured. Infants and Small Children There are different sizes and types of restraints for children from newborn size to the child almost large enough for an adult safety belt. Use the restraint that is correct for your child. Two types of child restraints can be used rearward-facing: infant carriers and 9convertible9 child seats.
It is recommended for children who weigh up to about 20 lbs 9 kg. Convertible child seats often have a higher weight limit in the rearward-facing direction than infant carriers do, so they can be used rearward-facing by children who weigh more than 20 lbs 9 kg but are less than one year old.
An airbag deployment could cause severe injury or death to infants in this position. The swivel seat should be locked in the forward position when using any child seat or infant carriers, with the vehicle in motion. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or even death. Forward-facing child seats and convertible child seats used in the forward-facing direction are for children who weigh 20 to 40 lbs 9 to 18 kg and who are older than one year.
Some booster seats are equipped with a front shield and are held in the vehicle by the lap portion. Never allow a child to put the shoulder belt under an arm or behind their back. NOTE: For additional information, refer www.
It could come loose in a collision. The child could be badly injured or killed. A rearward-facing child restraint in the front seat may be struck by a deploying passenger airbag which may cause severe or fatal injury to the infant.
We also recommend that you make sure that you can install the child restraint in the vehicle where you will use it, before you buy it. Check the label on the restraint for weight and height limits. If you install the restraint improperly, it may not work when you need it. The cinching latch plate will keep the belt tight, however, any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally and pull it tight if necessary.
Disconnect the latch plate from the buckle and twist the short buckle end of the belt several times to shorten it. Insert the latch plate into the buckle with the release button facing out. In a sudden stop or collision, it could strike the occupants or seatbacks and cause serious personal injury. Two LATCH child restraint anchorage systems are installed on all second-row seats and in the center position on all 3rd row fold-in-floor seats.
Second-row seats also feature tether strap anchorages, located in the rear surface of the seatback. In addition, all third row fold-in-floor seats are equipped with a child restraint tether anchor at the center seating position. My Grand Caravan. Property of djcocamoe. From Korea, South.

The strap is intended for emergency release only. Some of the worst injuries happen when people are thrown from the vehicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility of ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the vehicle. Seat belts are designed to go around the large bones of your body. These are the strongest parts of your body and can take the forces of a collision the best.

To remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt.
A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision. To release the belt, push the red button on the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position.
If necessary, slide the latch plate down the webbing to allow the belt to retract fully. A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection.

Page 85 Older Children and Child Restraints Children who weigh more than 20 lbs 9 kg and who are older than one year can ride forward-facing in the vehicle. Forward-facing child seats and convertible child seats used in the forward-facing direction are for children who weigh 20 to 40 lbs 9 to 18 kg and who are older than one year.
We also recommend that you make sure that you can install the child restraint in the vehicle where you will use it, before you buy it. Page 89 Rear Seat Tether Strap Mounting When using the tether anchorages in the center position on third row fold-in-floor seating, ensure that the strap is routed underneath the top of the seatback and the head restraint.
