If the control indicator fig. 167
illuminates for approx. 60 seconds after
the ignition is switched on, the front
passenger airbag system will inflate in
the event of a collision.
If the control indicator
illuminates
after the ignition is switched on,
the front passenger airbag system is
deactivated. It stays on while the airbag
is deactivated.
If both control indicators are illuminated
at the same time, there is a system
failure. The status of the system is not
discernible, therefore no person is
allowed to occupy the front passenger
seat. Contact a Jeep Dealership
immediately.
Consult a Jeep Dealership immediately if
neither of the two control indicators are
illuminated.
Change status only when the vehicle is
stopped with the ignition off.
Status remains until the next change.
AIRBAG AND BELT TENSIONERS
FAULT LAMP
If it the lamp illuminates whilst
driving, there is a fault in the airbag
system. Seek the assistance of a Jeep
Dealership. The airbags and belt
pretensioners may fail to trigger in the
event of an accident.

WARNING
139) Optimum protection is only provided
when the seat is in the proper position.
Fasten the seat belt correctly and engage
securely. Only then is the airbag able to
protect.
140) The hooks on the handles in the
roof frame are only suitable for hanging
up light articles of clothing, without coat
hangers. Do not keep any items in these
clothes
141) Do not rest your head, arms or
elbows on the door, on the windows or
in the window bag area to prevent injury
during deployment.
142)
Never lean your head, arms or
elbows out of the window.
143) If the warning light does not
switch on or stays on whilst driving when
the ignition device is turned to ENGINE, a
failure 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 to
have the system immediately checked.
