Dodge Stratus Coupe (2005 year). Instruction — part 7
WARNING!
• Never install a rear-facing child restraint in the front
passenger seat. Rear-facing child restraints MUST
ONLY be used in the rear seat. Forward-facing child
restraints should also be used in the rear seat. If a
forward-facing child restraint must be used in the front
passenger seat, move the seat as far back as possible,
and make sure that the child stays in the child restraint
and away from the door.
Do not allow the child to lean against or close to the
passenger door even if the child is seated in a child
restraint system. The child’s head should also not lean
against or be close to the section of the seatback where
the side air bag is located. It is dangerous if the side air
bag inflates. Failure to follow all of these instructions
could lead to serious or fatal injury to the child.
• Work done around and on the side air bag system
components should only be done by an authorized
dealer. Improper work methods could cause an acci-
dental side air bag deployment, or could make a side
air bag inoperable. Either of these situations could
result in serious injury. Be sure to tell anyone who
works on your vehicle that it has air bags.
SRS warning light
There is a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) warning
light on the instrument panel. The system checks itself
each time the ignition is turned on and the light indicates
if there is a problem.
When the ignition key is turned to the ‘‘ON’’ or ‘‘START’’
position, the warning light should come on for several
seconds and then go out. This means the system is

SEATS, SEAT BELTS, CHILD RESTRAINTS AND AIR BAGS
working properly. The SRS warning light is shared by the
driver’s air bag, the front passenger’s air bag, and the
optional side air bags.
The air bags will operate only when the ignition switch is
in the ‘‘ON’’ or ‘‘START’’ position
WARNING!
• If any of the following conditions occur, the SRS
is not working properly and you should immedi-
ately have it inspected by an authorized dealer;
• The SRS warning light does not illuminate
when you start the vehicle.
• The SRS warning light does not go out after
several seconds.
• The SRS warning light comes on while driving.
SRS servicing
The entire SRS must be inspected by an authorized dealer
10 years after the vehicle’s manufacture date as shown on
the certification label located on the center pillar of the
vehicle, on the driver’s side.
WARNING!
• Any maintenance performed on or near the com-
ponents of the SRS should be performed only by
an authorized dealer. Do not permit anyone else to
do service, inspection, maintenance or repair on
any SRS components or wiring. Similarly, no part
of the SRS should ever be handled, removed or
disposed of by anyone except at an authorized
dealer.
Improper work on the SRS components or wiring
could result in an accidental air bag deployment
or could make the SRS inoperative. Either of these
situation could result in serious injury.
• Do not modify your steering wheel or any other SRS
components or related vehicle part. For example,
replacement of the steering wheel, or modifications
to the front bumper or body structure can negatively
affect SRS performance and may lead to possible
injury.
• If your vehicle has received any front-end dam-
age, you should have the SRS inspected by an
authorized dealer to make sure it is in proper
working order.

WARNING!
• On vehicles with side air bags, do not modify
your front seats, center pillar or center console.
Such modifications can adversely affect SRS per-
formance and may lead to possible injury.
Also, if you discover any tear or open seam in the
seat fabric near the side air bag, have the seat
inspected by an authorized dealer.
• On vehicles with side air bags, if your vehicle has
received any damage on either side, you should
have the SRS inspected by an authorized dealer to
make sure it is in proper working order.
NOTE:
• When you transfer ownership of the vehicle to another
person, we urge you to alert the new owner that it is
equipped with the SRS and refer that owner to the
applicable sections in this owner’s instruction.
• If you decide to junk or scrap your vehicle, we urge
you to first take it to an authorized dealer so that the
SRS can be made safe for disposal.
Caution label
Passenger restraint warning/caution labels for the SRS
are located in the vehicle as shown in the illustration.

CAUTION!
The red zone indicates an engine speed in excess of
safe operation.
Select the correct gear to control engine speed so the
tachometer indicator does not enter the red zone.
Fuel gauge
The gauge shows the amount of fuel in the fuel tank
when the ignition key is turned to the ‘‘on’’ position.
The arrow A indicates that the fuel lid (fuel filler port) is
located on the right side of the vehicle. (Refer to “Fuel
filler” on page 39.)

an “ODO” or “TRIP” indication is given.
Every time the reset button (3) is pressed lightly (less
than one second), the indicators will change from “ODO”
to “Trip A” to “Trip B”.

since the current trip began and Trip
can be used to
measure the distance from an intermediate location.
To return either Trip
or Trip
display to zero,
press the reset button (3) for more than one second. Only
the currently displayed value will be reset.
If Trip
is displayed, for example, only Trip
will
be reset.
NOTE
1. Display TRIP

each have a maxi-
mum distance of 9999.9 mile (16 093.28 km)
2. When disconnecting the battery for a long time, the
memory of trip meter display
and
will clear,
and the display returns to “0”.
Engine coolant temperature gauge
This gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature.
When the engine temperature is low, the indicator will
remain at the “C” (cold) position. The indicator will
gradually rise as the engine is warmed up.
The indicator will normally stay near the center while
driving, but may rise slightly in congested traffic or when
the engine is under a heavy load.

CAUTION!
While driving, care should always be taken to main-
tain normal engine operating temperature. If the
indicator enters the “H” (hot) position while driving,
the engine is overheating. (Refer to “Engine over-
heating” on page 279.)
Turn signal indicators/hazard warning lights
The arrow will flash in unison with the
corresponding exterior turn signals when
the turn signal lever is operated.
Both arrows will flash intermittently when the hazard
warning flasher switch is pressed.
NOTE
: If the signal indicator blinks too fast, the cause
may be a faulty turn-signal connection or faulty lamp
bulb.
High beam indicator
A blue light illuminates when the head-
lights are on high beam.
Theft-alarm indicator
When the theft-alarm system has been
armed, the indicator located in the instru-
ment cluster will illuminate and go off in 20
seconds, indicating the system is armed. (See “Theft-
alarm system” on page 49.)
Door-ajar warning light and chime
This light illuminates when any door is
open or not completely closed.
When the vehicle is moving at more than 5
mph (8 km/h) and the door is open or ajar,
a chime will sound to inform the driver that
the door is not properly shut.
CAUTION!
Before driving, check to ensure that the door-ajar
warning light is off.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
Trunk-ajar warning light and chime
This light illuminates when the trunk lid is
open or not completely closed.
When the vehicle is moving at more than 5
mph (8 km/h) and the trunk lid is open or
ajar, a chime will sound to inform the driver that the
trunk lid is not properly shut.
Anti-lock braking system warning light (if so
equipped)
This light comes on in the event of a mal-
function in the anti-lock braking system.
Always be sure that the light goes out
before beginning to drive.
It also comes on when the ignition key is turned to the
“ON” position and should go out shortly after starting
the engine.
If the light illuminates during driving;
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the engine.
Test the system by restarting the engine and driving at a
speed of about 12 mph (20 km/h) or higher.
If the light goes out, there is no abnormal condition.
2. If the light does not go out or if it illuminates again,
the anti-lock braking system is not functioning, and only
the standard braking system is functioning.
If this occurs, take your vehicle to an authorized dealer
and have the system checked.
NOTE
: If the light remains illuminated after the engine
is started, it indicates that a fault has occured in the
Anti-lock brake system. The standard brake system will
function normally. (Refer to “Anti-lock braking system”
on page 175).
Cruise/speed control indicator
This indicator will illuminate when the
cruise/speed control main switch is “ON”.
Low-fuel warning light and chime
When the fuel level in the fuel tank gets
low, the light illuminates and the chime will
also sound. It is recommended that fuel be
added as soon as this light illuminates.
