Always adjust the height of the seat belts
to fit the person wearing it: this
precaution could greatly reduce the risk
of injury in the event of collision.
Correct adjustment is obtained when the
belt passes approximately half way
between the shoulder and the neck.
WARNING
80)Never press button C fig. 80 when
travelling.81)Remember that, in the event of an
accident, the rear seat passengers not
wearing seat belts are exposed to a very
serious risk and also represent a serious
danger for the front seat occupants.
82)Make height adjustment of the seat
belts when the car is stationary.
83)After height adjustment, always check
that the cursor to which the ring is
fastened is locked in one of the preset
positions. To do this, with button A
fig. 82 released, exert further pressure
downwards to allow the locking device to
click if the grip has not been released in
one of the possible positions.
SBR (Seat Belt Reminder)
SYSTEM
The SBR system warns the passengers of
the front and rear (where provided) seats
if their seat belt is not fastened.
The system warnings unfastened seat
belts with visual warnings (warning lights
on in the instrument panel and icons on
the display) and an acoustic warning (see
the following paragraphs).
NOTE To deactivate the acoustic warning
permanently go to a Jeep Dealership. The
acoustic warning can be reactivated at
any time through the display menu (see
the "Display" paragraph in the "Knowing
the instrument panel" chapter).
Front seat belt warning light behaviour
When the ignition device is turned to
MAR, warning light
fig. 83 ) comes on
for a few seconds, regardless of the
status of the front seat belts.
With car at a standstill, if the driver side
seat belt or the passenger side seat belt
(with occupant seated) is unfastened, the
warning light stays on constantly.

92)Incorrect fitting of the child restraint
system may result in an inefficient
protection system. In the event of an
accident the child restraint system may
become loose and the child may be
injured, even fatally. When fitting a
restraint system for newborns or children,
strictly comply with the instructions
provided by the Manufacturer.
93)When the child restraint system is not
used, secure it with the seat belt or with
the ISOFIX anchorages, or remove it from
the vehicle. Do not leave it unsecured
inside the passenger compartment. In this
way, in the case of sudden braking or an
accident, it will not cause injuries to the
occupants.
94)After installing a child restraint
system, do not move the seat: always
remove the child restraint system before
making any adjustment.
95)Always make sure that the chest
section of the seat belt does not pass
under the arms or behind the back of the
child. In the event of an accident the seat
belt will not be able to secure the child,
with the risk of injury, including fatal
injury. Therefore the child must always
wear the seat belt correctly.96)Do not use the same lower anchorage
to install more than one child restraint
system.
97)If a Universal ISOFIX child seat is not
fixed to all three anchorages, the child
seat will not be able to protect the child
correctly. In a crash, the child could be
seriously or fatally injured.
98)Fit the child restraint system when the
car is stationary. The child restraint
system is correctly fixed to the brackets
when you hear the click. Follow the
instructions for assembly, disassembly
and positioning that the Manufacturer
must supply with the child restraint
system.
99)If the vehicle was involved in an
accident of a certain severity, have the
ISOFIX anchorages and the child restraint
system replaced.
100)If the vehicle was involved in an
accident of a certain severity, have both
the child restraint system and the seat
belt it was attached to replaced.SUPPLEMENTARY
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)-
AIRBAG
The vehicle is equipped with:front driver airbag;front passenger airbag;driver and passenger front side bags
for pelvis, chest and shoulder protection
(Side bags);
front and rear side passenger side
bags for head protection (window bag).
FRONT AIRBAGS
The front driver/passenger airbags and
the driver knee bag (where provided)
protect the front seat occupants in the
event of frontal impacts of medium/high
severity, by placing the bag between the
occupant and the steering wheel or
dashboard.
Therefore non-activation of airbags in
other types of collisions (side impacts,
rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not
indicate a system malfunction.
The driver and passenger front airbags
are not a replacement for, but are
complementary to, the seat belts, which
should always be worn as required by law
in Europe and most non-European
countries.
In the event of impact, anyone not
wearing a seat belt is projected forwards
