Dodge Charger: OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS / Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating Instructions
- Enter the vehicle and close the door. Sit back and adjust the seat.
- The seat belt latch plate is above the back of the front seat, and next
to your arm in the rear seat (for vehicles equipped with a rear seat). Grab
the latch plate and pull out the seat belt. Slide the latch plate up the webbing
as far as necessary to allow the seat belt to go around your lap.

- When the seat belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the
buckle until you hear a “click.”

- Position the lap belt so that it is snug and lies low across your hips,
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 seat belt reduces the risk of sliding under
the seat belt in a collision.

- Position the shoulder belt across the shoulder and chest with minimal, if
any slack so that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck. The retractor
will withdraw any slack in the shoulder belt.
- To release the seat belt, push the red button on the buckle. The seat belt
will automat- ically retract to its stowed position. If necessary, slide the
latch plate down the webbing to allow the seat belt to retract fully.
All seating positions in your vehicle are equipped with lap/shoulder belts.
The seat belt webbing retractor will lock only during very sudden stops or collisions...
Use the following procedure to untwist a twisted lap/shoulder belt.
Position the latch plate as close as possible to the anchor point.
At about 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm) above the latch plate, grab and twist
the seat belt webbing 180 degrees to create a fold that begins immediately above
the latch plate...
Other information:
The ABS provides increased vehicle stability and brake performance under most
braking conditions. The system automatically prevents wheel lock, and enhances vehicle
control during braking.
The ABS performs a self-check cycle to ensure that the ABS is working properly
each time the vehicle is started and driven...
WARNING!
Never smoke while working in the engine compartment: gas and inflammable
vapors may be present, with the risk of fire.
Be very careful when working in the engine compartment when the engine
is hot: you may get burned. Do not get too close to the radiator cooling fan:
the electric fan may start; danger of injury...
