OCCUPANT
PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
The most important safety equipment
of the vehicle comprise the following
protection systems:
❒seat belts;
❒SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system;
❒head restraints;
❒child restraint systems;
❒front airbags and side bags.
Read the information given the
following pages with the utmost care. It
is of fundamental importance that the
protection systems are used in the
correct way to guarantee the maximum
possible safety level for the driver and
the passengers.
For the description of the head restraint
adjustment see paragraph "Head
restraints" in chapter "Knowing your
vehicle".
SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
The driver is responsible for respecting,
and ensuring that all the other
occupants of the vehicle also respect,
the local laws in force in relation to
the use of the seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
setting off.
The seat belt should be worn keeping
the torso straight and rested against
the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the
tongue A fig. 63 and insert it into the
buckle B, until it clicks into place.
On removal, if the belt jams, let it rewind
for a short stretch, then pull it out
again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button
C and guide the seat belt with your
hand while it is rewinding, to prevent it
from twisting.
75) 76)The retractor may lock when the vehicle
is parked on a steep slope: this is
perfectly normal. Furthermore, the
retractor mechanism locks the belt if it
is pulled sharply or in the event of
sudden braking, collisions or
high-speed bends.
Wear the rear seat belts as shown in
fig. 64.
IMPORTANT When returning the rear
seat from the tilted position to the
normal operating position, take care to
refit the seat belt correctly, in order to
guarantee prompt availability every
time.

Weight group Child restraint system Type of child restraint system Child restraint system installation
Group 2: from 15 kg
to 36 kgFair Junior Fix
Type-approval number: E4
04443721It can only be fitted facing forwards,
using the three-point seat belt and the
ISOFIX anchorages of the vehicle, if
present.
IMPORTANT Jeep recommends fitting the child restraint system according to the instructions, which must be included.
Main recommendations to carry
children safely
❒Install the child restraint systems on
the rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of an
impact.
❒Keep children in rearward facing child
restraint systems for as long as
possible, until 3–4 years old if possible.
❒If the passenger's front airbag is
deactivated always check the
dedicated warning light on the panel
located on the dashboard to make sure
that it has actually been deactivated.❒Carefully follow the child restraint
manufacturer's instruction supplied with
the child restraint system. Keep the
instructions in the vehicle along with the
other documents and this handbook.
Do not use second-hand child restraint
systems without instructions.
❒Only one child is to be strapped into
each restraint system; never carry
two children using one child restraint
system.
❒Always check that the seat belts do
not rest on the child’s neck.
❒Always check that the seat belt is
well fastened by pulling on it.
❒While travelling, do not let the child sit
incorrectly or unfasten the belts.
❒Never allow a child to put the belt's
diagonal section under an arm or
behind their back.❒Never carry children on your lap,
even newborns. No-one could restrain
them in the event of an accident.
❒In the event of an accident, replace
the child restraint system with a new
one.
WARNING
83)SEVERE DANGER When a front
passenger airbag is fitted, do not install
rearward facing child restraint systems on
the front passenger seat. Deployment of
the airbag in an accident could cause fatal
injuries to the baby regardless of the
severity of the collision. It is advisable to
always carry children in a child restraint
system on the rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of an
impact.

SAFETY

84)On the sun visor there is a label with
suitable symbols reminding the user that it
is compulsory to deactivate the airbag if
a rearward facing child restraint system is
fitted. Always comply with the instructions
on the passenger's side sun visor (see
the "Supplementary Restraint System
(SRS) - Airbag" paragraph).
85)Should it be necessary to carry a child
on the passenger side front seat in a rear
facing child restraint system, the passenger
side front airbag and side bag must be
deactivated through the display main menu
(see the instructions in the "Display"
paragraph, "Knowing the instrument panel"
chapter), verifying activation by checking
whether the
OFFLED has switched on
in the panel located on the dashboard.
Move the passenger's seat as far back as
possible to avoid contact between the child
restraint system and the dashboard.
86)Do not adjust the front or rear seat if a
child is seated on it or on the dedicated
child restraint system.
87)Incorrect fitting of the child restraint
system may result in an inefficient
protection system. In the event of an
accident the child restraint system may
become loose and the child may be
injured, even fatally. When fitting a restraint
system for newborns or children, strictly
comply with the instructions provided
by the Manufacturer.88)When the child restraint system is not
used, secure it with the seat belt or with
the ISOFIX anchorages, or remove it from
the vehicle. Do not leave it unsecured
inside the passenger compartment. In this
way, in the case of sudden braking or an
accident, it will not cause injuries to the
occupants.
89)After installing a child restraint system,
do not move the seat: always remove
the child restraint system before making
any adjustment.
90)Always make sure that the chest
section of the seat belt does not pass
under the arms or behind the back of the
child. In the event of an accident the seat
belt will not be able to secure the child,
with the risk of injury, including fatal injury.
Therefore the child must always wear
the seat belt correctly.
91)Do not use the same lower anchorage
to install more than one child protection
system.
92)If a Universal ISOFIX child restraint
system is not fixed to all three anchorages,
it will not be able to protect the child
correctly. In a crash, the child could be
seriously or fatally injured.
93)Fit the child restraint system only when
the vehicle is stationary. The child restraint
system is correctly fixed to the brackets
when you hear the click. Follow the
instructions for assembly, disassembly and
positioning that the Manufacturer must
supply with the child restraint system.
SUPPLEMENTARY
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
(SRS) - AIRBAG
The vehicle is equipped with:
❒front driver airbag;
❒front passenger airbag;
❒driver and passenger front side bags
for pelvis, chest and shoulder
protection (Side bags);
❒front and rear side passenger side
bags for head protection (window bag).
FRONT AIRBAGS
The front driver/passenger airbags and
the driver's knee bag (where provided)
protect the front seat occupants in
the event of frontal impacts of
medium/high severity, by placing the
bag between the occupant and the
steering wheel or dashboard.
Therefore non-activation in other types
of collisions (side impacts, rear shunts,
roll-overs, etc.) does not indicate a
system malfunction.
Driver and passenger front airbags are
not a replacement of but
complementary to the seat belts, which
should always be worn, as specified
by law in Europe and most non-
European countries.
