Dodge Charger: OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS / Front 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. The driver front air bag is mounted in the center of the steering wheel.
The passenger front air bag is mounted in the instrument panel, above the glove
compartment. The words “SRS AIRBAG” or “AIRBAG” are embossed on the air bag covers.

WARNING!
- Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during front
air bag deployment could cause serious injury, including death. Air bags need
room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering
wheel or instrument panel.
- Never place a rear-facing child restraint in front of an air bag.
A deploying passenger front air bag can cause death or serious injury to a child
12 years or younger, including a child in a rear-facing child restraint.
- Never install a rear-facing child restraint in the front seat of a
vehicle. Only use a rear-facing child restraint in the rear seat. If the vehicle
does not have a rear seat, do not transport a rear-facing child restraint in
that vehicle.
If a fault with the Air Bag Warning
Light is detected, which could affect the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), the
Redundant Air Bag Warning Light will illuminate on the instrument panel...
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...
Other information:
The proper cold tire inflation pressure is listed on the driver's side B-pillar
or rear edge of the driver's side door.
At least once a month:
Check and adjust tire pressure with a good quality pocket-type pressure
gauge. Do not make a visual judgement when determining proper inflation...
If the engine fails to start after you have followed the "Normal Starting" or
"Cold Weather Operation" procedure it may be flooded. Push the accelerator pedal
all the way to the floor and hold it there. Crank the engine for no more than 15
seconds...
