Warnings
Do not wash the seats with water or
pressurised steam (wash by hand or at
automatic seat washing stations). The
front airbags and/or side bags may be
deployed in the event of sharp impacts
to the underbody of the car (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.
AIRBAG DEACTIVATION
The front passenger airbag system must
be deactivated for child restraint system
