2018 JEEP RENEGADE airbag

Passenger's front airbag and child restraint
systems
Rearward facing child restraint systems
mustNEVERbe fitted on the front seat
with an active passenger side airbag
since in the event of an impact the
airbag activation may cause fatal injuries
to the transported child.ALWAYScomply
with the instructions on the label stuck
on the passenger side sun visor fig. 99.Deactivating the passenger side airbags:
front airbag and side bag
If a child must be carried on the front
seat in a rear-facing child restraint
system, deactivate the passenger side
front airbag and front side bag. Use the
display Menu to deactivate them.
There are
OFFandONLEDs on the
dashboard trim. Moving the ignition
device to MAR, the two LEDs switch on
for a few seconds. Otherwise, contact a
Jeep Dealership.
During the first seconds, the activation of
the LEDs does not actually show the
passenger protection status, but only
checks its correct operation. After a test
of a few seconds, the LEDs will indicate
the status of the passenger airbag
protection.Passenger protection activated: the
ON
fig. 100 LED switches on fixed.
Passenger protection deactivated: the
OFFfig. 100 LED switches on with a
steady light.
The LEDs may light up with various
intensity levels depending on the vehicle
conditions. The intensity may vary during
the same key cycle.

Passenger front airbag and child restraint system: WARNING

SAFETY

SIDE AIRBAGS
To help increase occupants protection in
the event of side impact collisions, the
vehicle is equipped with front side bags
and window bags.
Side bag
These consist of two bags located in the
front seat backrests fig. 102 that protect
the occupants’ pelvis, chest and shoulder
area in the event of a side impact of
medium/high severity. They are marked
by the "AIRBAG" label sewn on the outer
side of the front seats.
Window bag
This consists of a "curtain" bag housed
behind the roof side trim and covered by
special trims fig. 103. They are designed
to protect the head of front and rear
occupants in the event of a side
collision, thanks to the wide cushion
inflation surface.The deployment of side bags in the event
of side impacts of low severity is not
required.
In the event of a side impact, the system
provides best protection if the passenger
sits on the seat in a correct position, thus
allowing correct window bag deployment.

Important notes
Do not wash the seats with water or
pressurised steam (wash by hand or at
automatic seat washing stations).
The front and/or side airbags may
activate in the event of sharp impacts to
102J0A0178C103J0A0180C
141
the underbody of the vehicle (e.g. impact
with steps, pavements, potholes or road
bumps etc.).

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.
142
SAFETY

112)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. Also remember
that, if the ignition device is set to STOP,
none of the safety devices (airbags or
pretensioners) will be deployed in the
event of collision. Non-deployment in
such cases does not indicate a system
malfunction.113)Malfunction of the airbag failure
warning light is indicated by the activation
of an airbag failure icon and a dedicated
message on the instrument panel display.
The pyrotechnic charges are not disabled.
Before continuing, contact a Jeep
Dealership immediately to have the
system checked.
114)The airbag deployment threshold is
higher than that of the pretensioners. For
collisions in the range between the two
thresholds, it is normal for only the
pretensioners to be activated.
115)The airbag does not replace seat
belts but increases their efficiency.
Because front airbags are not deployed for
low-speed crashes, side collisions,
rear-end shunts or rollovers, occupants are
protected, in addition to any side bags,
only by their seat belts, which must
therefore always be fastened.

WARNING
154)If the replaced fuse blows again,
contact a Jeep Dealership.
155)Never replace a fuse with another
with a higher amp rating; DANGER OF
FIRE.
156)If a general fuse (MAXI-FUSE,
MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-FUSE) cuts in, do not
attempt any repair and contact a Jeep
Dealership.
157)Before replacing a fuse, make sure
that the ignition device is at STOP, that
the key, if mechanical, has been removed
and that all devices are switched off
and/or disconnected.
158)If a general protection fuse for safety
systems (airbag system, braking system),
power unit systems (engine system,
transmission system) or steering system
blows, contact a Jeep Dealership.
IMPORTANT
77)Never replace a fuse with metal wires
or anything else.
78)If it is necessary to wash the engine
compartment, take care not to directly hit
the fuse box and the window wiper motors
with the water jet.
