WARNING
8)NEVER leave children unattended
inside the car, let alone leave the car with
the doors unlocked in a place that
children can access easily. Children may
seriously, or even fatally, injure
themselves. Also ensure that children do
not inadvertently operate the electric
parking brake, the brake pedal or the
automatic transmission lever.
9)Always use this device when carrying
children. After engaging the child lock on
both rear doors, check for effective
engagement by trying to open a door with
the internal handle.
10)Once the Dead Lock system is
engaged, it is impossible to open the
doors from inside the vehicle. Before
getting out of the car, please therefore
check that there is no-one left inside.
IMPORTANT
2)Make sure to take the key with you once
a door or the tailgate is locked, to prevent
locking the same key inside the vehicle. If
the key has been locked in, it can only be
recovered using the second provided key.
3)The operation of the recognition system
depends on various factors, such as, for
example, any electromagnetic wave
interference from external sources (e.g.
mobile phones), the charge of the battery
in the electronic key and the presence of
metal objects near the key or the car. In
these cases it is still possible to unlock the
doors by using the metal insert in the
electronic key (see description on the
following pages).

When the airbag deploys it emits a small
amount of dust: the dust is harmless and
does not indicate the beginning of a fire.
The dust may irritate the skin and eyes
however: in this case, wash with neutral
soap and water.
Airbag checking, repair and replacement
must be carried out at a Jeep Dealership.
If the car is scrapped, have the airbag
system deactivated at a Jeep Dealership.
Pretensioners and airbags are deployed
in different ways on the basis of the type
of collision. Failure to activate one or
more of the devices does not indicate a
system malfunction.
WARNING
101)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 side of the dashboard since
they could interfere with correct inflation
of the passenger airbag and also cause
serious injury to the passengers.102)Always drive with your hands on the
rim of the steering wheel so that the
airbag can inflate freely if required. Do not
drive with your body bent forward. Keep
your back straight against the backrest.
103)When there is an active passenger
airbag, DO NOT install rearward facing
child restraint systems on the front 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.
104)Do not affix rigid objects to the
garment hooks or support handles.
105)Do not rest your head, arms or
elbows on the door, windows or the area in
which the Window bag is located to avoid
possible injury during airbag inflation.
106)Never lean your head, arms or elbows
out of the window.107)If, when the ignition device is turned
to MAR, the
warning light does not
switch on or stays on whilst driving, a fault
may have occurred in the restraint
systems. In this case the airbags or
pretensioners may not be deployed in an
impact or, in a lower number of cases,
they may be deployed accidentally. Before
continuing, contact a Jeep Dealership
immediately to have the system checked.
108)In some versions, in the event of a
LED
OFFfailure (located on the
dashboard trim), thewarning light on
the instrument panel turns on and the
passenger side airbags are deactivated. In
some versions, in the event of a LED
ONfailure (located on the dashboard
trim), thelight on the console turns
on.
109)On cars with side bags, do not cover
the front seat backrests with extra covers.
110)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.
111)If the car has been stolen or in the
case of attempt to steal it, if it has been
subjected to vandalism or floods, have the
airbag system checked by a Jeep
Dealership.
