2016 JEEP CHEROKEE airbag

• Do not add a secondary seat cover or mat.
• At no time should any Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) component or SRSrelated component or fastener be modified or replaced with any part except those
which are approved by FCA US LLC.
Supplemental Knee Air Bags
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag mounted in the
instrument panel below the steering column and a Supplemental Passenger Knee Air
Bag mounted in the instrument panel below the glove compartment. The Supple-
mental Knee Air Bags provide enhanced protection during a frontal impact by
working together with the seat belts, pretensioners, and Advanced Front Air Bags.
WARNING!
•Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The
air bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions, the
air bags won't deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have air
bags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front Air Bag deployment could cause serious injury, including death. Air bags
need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the
steering wheel or instrument panel.
• No objects should be placed over or near the air bag on the instrument panel
or steering wheel because any such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is
in a collision severe enough to cause the air bag to inflate.
Supplemental Side Air Bags
• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SABs)
located in the outboard side of the front and rear (in vehicles equipped with
outboard rear seat SABs) seats. The SABs are marked with a SRS AIRBAG or
AIRBAG label sewn into the outboard side of the seats.
• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABICs) located above the side windows. The trim covering the SABICs is labeled
SRS AIRBAG or AIRBAG. The SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial or
complete ejection of vehicle occupants through side windows in certain side
impact events.
• The SABICs and SABs (“Side Air Bags”) are designed to activate in certain side impacts and certain rollover events. The Occupant Restraint Controller (“ORC”)
determines whether the deployment of the Side Air Bags in a particular side
impact or rollover event is appropriate, based on the severity and type of collision.
Vehicle damage by itself is not a good indicator of whether or not Side Air Bags
should have deployed.

Built-In Features
WARNING!
• ALWAYS obey traffic laws and pay attention to the road. Some UconnectAccess services, including 9-1-1 and Assist, will NOT work without an operable
1X (voice/data) or 3G (data) network connection.
• ALWAYS drive safely with your hands on the steering wheel. You have full
responsibility and assume all risks related to the use of the Uconnect features
and applications in this vehicle. Only use Uconnect when it is safe to do so.
Failure to do so may result in an accident involving serious injury or death.
• Ignoring the rearview mirror light could mean you may not have 9-1-1 Call
service if needed. If the rearview mirror light is illuminated, have an authorized
dealer service the 9-1-1 Call system immediately.
• The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) turns on the Air Bag Warning Light on
the instrument panel if a malfunction is detected in any part of the airbag
system. If the Air Bag Warning Light is illuminated, the air bag system may not
be working properly and the 9-1-1 system may not send a signal to a 9-1-1
operator if an air bag is deployed. If the Air Bag Warning Light is illuminated,
have an authorized dealer service your vehicle immediately.
• If anyone in the vehicle could be in danger (e.g., fire or smoke is visible,
dangerous road conditions or location), do not wait for voice contact from a
9-1-1 operator. All occupants should exit the vehicle immediately and move to
a safe location.
• The 9-1-1 Call system is embedded into the vehicle’s electrical system. Do not
add aftermarket electrical equipment to the vehicle’s electrical system. This
may prevent your vehicle from sending a signal to initiate an emergency call. To
avoid interference that can cause the 9-1-1 Call system to fail, never add
aftermarket equipment (e.g., two-way mobile radio, CB radio, data recorder,
etc.) to your vehicle’s electrical system or modify the antennas on your vehicle.
• IF YOUR VEHICLE LOSES BATTERY POWER FOR ANY REASON (INCLUDING
DURING OR AFTER AN ACCIDENT), the Uconnect features, apps and ser-
vices, among others, will not operate.
