Workshop manual PACIFICA

the press is talking about it :
.
 Pacifica's utility is a major selling point, but safety is always a primary focus. Early in the vehicle's development, it was codenamed "The Protector." (Chrysler Pacifica was developed in 30 months at a cost of less than $1 billion.) The production model is one of the first in the world to offer a three-row curtain airbag as standard equipment. The ceiling-mounted side curtain airbag deploys downward and provides full coverage of the side windows. Additionally, a new safety feature called an inflatable knee blocker located just below the steering column helps reduce leg injuries in the event of a collision. It also helps properly position the driver to take full advantage of the safety benefits of the seat belt and regular air bags. The driver and passenger airbags deploy at different levels depending on the severity of the accident. Two charges in the air bag module are triggered separately. A minor impact will trigger a low-power deployment while a severe impact will deploy a more powerful response. THE EXTERIOR: Before you get the impression that this is a North American version of a dull Swedish Safe Mobile, it must be said that it is also a beautiful beast. It's long and sleek, and the black molded beltline, which runs from the bottom of the windshield to the taillights, gives a solid look. The all-new grille still has some PT Cruiser indicators, but it's bolder. The bumper features chrome accents that tastefully separate the underside from the upper body shape. Located above the fog lights are large projector lights, low beams and parabolic lights. The rear is characterized by its integrated black spoiler which extends the roofline and houses a centrally mounted brake light. The large rear bumper, similar to the front, features chrome accents.
