44 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
• Do not add a secondary seat cover other than those
approved by Chrysler Group LLC/Mopar .
• At no time should any supplemental restraint system
(SRS) component or SRS related component or fastener
be modified or replaced with any part except those
which are approved by Chrysler Group LLC/Mopar .
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
The ORC is part of a Federally regulated safety system
required for this vehicle.
The ORC determines if deployment of the front airbags in
a frontal or side collision is required. Based on the impact
sensors signals, a central electronic ORC deploys the
Advanced Front Airbags, as required, depending on
several factors, including the severity and type of impact.
The airbag inflators are designed to provide different
rates of inflation. Based on the level of collision severity,
the ORC determines the proper rate of inflation. The ORC
may modify the rate of passenger airbag inflation or
prevent passenger airbag deployment based on input
from the Occupant Classification System (OCS). The ORC
will not detect roll-over or rear impacts.
Advanced Front Airbags are designed to provide addi-
tional protection by supplementing the seat belts in
certain frontal collisions depending on the severity and
type of collision. Advanced Front Airbags are not ex-
pected to reduce the risk of injury in rear, side, or rollover
collisions.
The Advanced Front Airbags will not deploy in all frontal
collisions, including some that may produce substantial
vehicle damage — for example, some pole collisions,
truck underrides, and angle offset collisions. On the other
hand, depending on the type and location of impact,
Advanced Front Airbags may deploy in crashes with
little vehicle front-end damage but that produce a severe
initial deceleration.
