Dodge Charger: OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS / Driver And Passenger Front Air Bag Features
The Advanced Front Air Bag system has multistage driver and front passenger air
bags. This system provides output appropriate to the severity and type of collision
as determined by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), which may receive information
from the front impact sensors (if equipped) or other system components.
The first stage inflator is triggered immediately during an impact that requires
air bag deployment. A low energy output is used in less severe collisions. A higher
energy output is used for more severe collisions.
This vehicle may be equipped with a driver and/ or front passenger seat belt
buckle switch that detects whether the driver or front passenger seat belt is buckled.
The seat belt buckle switch may adjust the inflation rate of the Advanced Front
Air Bags.
This vehicle may be equipped with driver and/or front passenger seat track position
sensors that may adjust the inflation rate of the Advanced Front Air Bags based
upon seat position.
WARNING!
- No objects should be placed over or near the air bag on the instrument
panel or steering wheel because any such objects could cause harm if the vehicle
is in a colli- sion severe enough to cause the air bag to inflate.
- Do not put anything on or around the air bag covers or attempt to
open them manu- ally. You may damage the air bags and you could be injured because
the air bags may no longer be functional. The protective covers for the air
bag cushions are designed to open only when the air bags are inflating.
- Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in
a collision. The air bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly.
In some collisions, air bags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts
even though you have air bags.
This vehicle has front air bags and lap/shoulder belts for both the driver and
front passenger. The front air bags are a supplement to the seat belt restraint
systems...
Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection by supplementing
the seat belts. Front air bags are not expected to reduce the risk of injury in
rear, side, or rollover collisions...
Other information:
The warning display will turn on indicating the system status when the vehicle
is in REVERSE and an obstacle has been detected.
The system will indicate a detected obstacle by showing a single arc in the left
and/or right front or rear regions based on the object’s distance and location relative
to the vehicle...
The instrument cluster display features an interactive display which is located
in the instrument cluster.
This system conveniently allows the driver to select a variety of useful information
by pushing the arrow buttons located on the left side of the steering wheel...
