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.

SAFETY

WARNING
79)The pretensioner may be used only
once. Contact a Jeep Dealership to have it
replaced after it has been deployed.
80)Removing or otherwise tampering with
seat belt and pretensioner components
is strictly prohibited. Any operations on
these components must be performed by
qualified and authorised technicians.
Always contact a Jeep Dealership.
81)For maximum safety, keep the back of
your seat upright, lean back into it and
make sure the seat belt fits closely across
your torso and pelvis. Always fasten the
seat belts for both the front and rear seats!
Travelling without wearing seat belts will
increase the risk of serious injury and even
death in the event of an accident.
82)If the belt has been subjected to high
levels of stress, for example after an
accident, it should be changed completely
together with the attachments, attachment
fixing screws and the pretensioner. In
fact, even if the belt has no visible defects,
it may have lost its resilience.
WARNING
33)Operations which lead to impacts,
vibrations or localised heating (over 100°C
for a maximum of six hours) in the area
around the pretensioner may damage or
deploy it. Contact a Jeep Dealership
should intervention be necessary on these
components.
CHILD PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
CARRYING CHILDREN
SAFELY
83) 84) 85) 86)
For optimal protection in the event of an
impact, all occupants must be seated
and wearing adequate restraint
systems, including newborn and other
children! This prescription is
compulsory in all EC countries
according to EC Directive 2003/20/EC.
Children below the height of 1.50
metres and until 12 years, must be
protected with suitable restraint
systems and be seated on the rear
seats.
Statistics on accidents indicate that the
rear seats give a better performance
when protecting children safety.
Compared with an adult, a child's head
is larger and heavier in proportion to
their body and the child's muscular and
bone structures are not fully developed.
Therefore, correct restraint systems
other than adult seat belts are
necessary to reduce as much as
possible the risk of injuries in the event
of an accident, braking or sudden
manoeuvre.Children must be seated safely and
comfortably. Depending on the
characteristics of the child restraint
systems used, you are advised to keep
children in rearward facing child
restraint systems for as long as
possible (at least until 3–4 years old),
since this is the most protected position
in the event of an impact.
The choice of the most suitable child
restraint device depends on the weight
and size of the child. There are various
types of child restraint systems, which
can be secured to the vehicle by means
of the seat belts or with the ISOFIX/i-
Size anchorages.
It is recommended to always choose
the restraint system most suitable
for the child; for this reason always refer
to the Owner Handbook provided with
the child restraint system, to be sure
that it is of the right type for the children
it is intended for.
In Europe the characteristics of child
restraint systems are ruled by the
regulation ECE-R44, dividing them into
five weight groups:
Group Weight range
Group0 upto10kg
Group 0+ up to 13 kg
Group 1 9–18 kg
81
Group 2 15–25 kg
Group 3 22-36 kg

The ECE-R44 standard was recently
paired with the ECE R-129 regulation,
which defines the characteristics of
the new i-Size child restraint systems
(see the "Suitability of passenger seats
for i-Size child restraint system use"
paragraph).
All restraint devices must bear the
certification data, together with the
control mark, on a label solidly fixed to
the child restraint system which must
never be removed.
Lineaccessori Jeep offers child restraint
systems for each weight group. These
devices are recommended, having
been specifically designed for Jeep
vehicles.
FITTING A CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
WITH SEAT BELTS
The Universal child restraint systems
installed with the seat belts only are
type-approved on the basis of the ECE
R44 standard and are divided into
various weight groups.
IMPORTANT The figures are indicative
and provided for assembly purposes
only. Fit the child restraint system
according to the instructions, which
must be included.
Group 0 and 0+
Infants up to 13 kg must be carried with
a rearward facing child restraint system
of a type as shown in fig. 72 which,
supporting the head, does not induce
stress on the neck in the event of
sudden decelerations.
The child restraint system is secured by
the car seat belts, as shown in fig. 72
and it must restrain the child in turn
with its own belts.
Group 1
Children of weight from 9 to 18 kg may
be carried in forward facing child
restraint systems fig. 73.
Group 2
Children from 15 to 25 kg may use the
vehicle seat belts directly fig. 74.
In this case, the child restraint system is
used to position the child correctly
with respect to the seat belts so that
the diagonal belt section crosses the
child’s chest and not the neck, and the
lower part is snug on the pelvis not
the abdomen.

Group 3
For children between 22 and 36 kg,
there are dedicated restraint systems
that allow the seat belt to be worn
correctly.
The fig. 75 shows the correct child
positioning on the rear seat.
Children over 1.50 m in height can wear
seat belts like adults.

FITTING A ISOFIX CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
90) 91) 92) 93)
The rear side seats of the vehicle are
equipped with ISOFIX attachments, for
fitting child restraint systems quickly,
simply and safely.
The ISOFIX system allows the ISOFIX
child restraint systems to be fitted,
without using the vehicle's seat belt,
but directly securing the child restraint
system to three anchorages present on
the vehicle. Traditional child restraint
systems can be fitted alongside ISOFIX
child restraint systems on different
seats in the same vehicle.
To install an ISOFIX child restraint
system, attach the it to the two metal
anchorages A fig. 76 located where the
rear seat cushion meets the backrest,
then fix the upper strap (available
together with the restraint system) to
the dedicated anchorage B located at
the bottom behind the backrest.
fig. 77 shows an example of a Universal
ISOFIX child restraint system for weight
group 1.
IMPORTANT The fig. 77 is indicative
and for assembly purposes only. Fit the
child restraint system according to
the instructions, which must be
included.NOTE When a Universal ISOFIX child
restraint system is used, only ECE R44
"ISOFIX Universal” (R44/03 or further
upgrades) type-approved child restraint
systems can be used (see fig. 78).
The other weight groups are covered
by specific ISOFIX child restraint
systems, which can be used only if
specifically tested for this vehicle (see
list of vehicles provided with the child
restraint system).
