WARNING
94)Do not apply stickers or other objects
on the steering wheel, on the dashboard in
the passenger side airbag area, on side
upholstery on the roof or on the seats.
Never put objects (e.g. mobile phones) on
the passenger's side dashboard since
they could interfere with correct inflation of
the airbag and also cause serious injury
to the passengers.
95)Always drive keeping your hands on
the steering wheel rim so that the airbag
can inflate freely if necessary. Do not drive
with your body bent forward. Keep your
back straight against the backrest.
96)When an active 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
child regardless of the severity of the
impact. Therefore, always deactivate the
passenger side airbag when a rearward
facing child restraint system is installed on
the front passenger seat. The front
passenger seat must also be positioned
back as far as possible in order to prevent
the child restraint system from coming
into contact with the dashboard.
Immediately reactivate the passenger
airbag as soon as the child restraint system
has been removed.
97)Do not hook rigid objects to the coat
hooks and to the support handles.100)If the
warning light does not
switch on when the ignition device is
moved to MAR or if it stays on when
driving, there might be a fault in the
restraint systems; in this case, the airbags
or pretensioners may not deploy in the
event of an accident or, in a lower number
of cases, they could deploy erroneously.
Before proceeding, contact a Jeep
Dealership immediately to have the system
checked.
101)On some versions, if the
OFFLED
(located on the dashboard panel) is faulty,
warning light
lights up in the instrument
panel.
102)If a side bag is present, do not cover
the front seat backrests with extra covers.
103)Do not travel carrying objects in
your lap, in front of your chest or between
your lips (pipe, pencils, etc.). They could
cause severe injury if the airbag is
deployed.
104)If the has been subject to theft,
attempted theft, vandalism, or flooding,
have the airbag system inspected at a
Jeep Dealership.105)If the ignition device is at MAR, even if
the engine is switched off, airbags may
be deployed when the vehicle is stationary
and hit by another vehicle. Therefore,
even if the vehicle is stationary, when an
active front passenger airbag is fitted, DO
NOT install rearward facing child restraint
systems on the front passenger seat.
Deployment of the airbag following an
impact could cause fatal injuries to the
child. Therefore, always deactivate the
passenger side airbag when a rearward
facing child restraint system is installed on
the front passenger seat. The front
passenger seat must also be positioned
back as far as possible in order to prevent
the child restraint system from coming
into contact with the dashboard.
Immediately reactivate the passenger
airbag as soon as the child restraint system
has been removed. Finally, remember that
if the ignition device is at STOP, no safety
device (airbags or pretensioners) will
activate following an impact; therefore if
these devices do not activate this cannot
be considered as signal of the system
malfunction.
106)If the airbag failure warning light is
faulty this will be signalled by an airbag
failure icon lighting up in the instrument
panel display with a dedicated message.
The pyrotechnic charges are not disabled.
Before proceeding, contact a Jeep
Dealership immediately to have the system
checked.
107)The front airbag deployment threshold
is higher than that of the pretensioners.
When the impact is between the two
deployment thresholds, it is normal that
pretensioners only are engaged.
