Chrysler 300/300 Touring/300C, Dodge Magnum. Manual - part 2170

WARNING: During and following any seat belt or child restraint anchor service, carefully inspect all seat
belts, buckles, mounting hardware, retractors, tether straps, and anchors for proper installation, operation,
or damage. Replace any belt that is cut, frayed, or torn. Straighten any belt that is twisted. Tighten any
loose fasteners. Replace any belt that has a damaged or inoperative buckle or retractor. Replace any belt
that has a bent or damaged latch plate or anchor plate. Replace any child restraint anchor or the unit to
which the anchor is integral that has been bent or damaged. Never attempt to repair a seat belt or child
restraint component. Always replace damaged or faulty seat belt and child restraint components with the
correct, new and unused replacement parts listed in the DaimlerChrysler Mopar

parts catalog. Failure to

follow these instructions may result in personal injury or death.

WARNING: On vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supplemental restraint system before attempting
any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, occupant classification system, seat belt tensioner, impact sen-
sor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
(ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diag-
nosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the supplemental restraint system. Failure to take the
proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment. Failure to follow these instructions may
result in personal injury or death.

WARNING: On vehicles equipped with airbags, before performing any welding operations disconnect and
isolate the battery negative (ground) cable and disconnect all wire harness connectors from the Airbag Con-
trol Module (ACM). Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment and
other possible damage to the supplemental restraint system circuits and components. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in personal injury or death.

WARNING: Replace all restraint system components only with parts specified in the DaimlerChrysler
Mopar

parts catalog. Substitute parts may appear interchangeable, but internal differences may result in

inferior occupant protection. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury or death.

WARNING: The fasteners, screws, and bolts originally used for the restraint system components must never
be replaced with any substitutes. These fasteners have special coatings and are specifically designed for
the restraint system. Any time a new fastener is needed, replace it with the correct fasteners provided in the
service package or specified in the DaimlerChrysler Mopar

parts catalog. Failure to follow these instruc-

tions may result in personal injury or death.

WARNING: On vehicles equipped with the Occupant Classification System (OCS) do not hang any after mar-
ket devices from the front passengers seat back. Do not install a front drivers seat back cover with map
pocket onto the passenger seat. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury or death.

WARNING: The Seat Weight Sensor is a sensitive, calibrated unit and must be handled carefully. Do not
drop or handle roughly. If dropped or damaged, replace with another sensor. Failure to follow these instruc-
tions may result in personal injury or death.

WARNING: The front passenger seat must be handled carefully as well. When removing the seat, be careful
when setting on floor not to drop. If dropped, the sensor may be inoperative. Failure to follow these instruc-
tions may result in personal injury or death.
