with chemicals. They are not permanent
and normally heal quickly. However, if
you haven't healed significantly within a
few days, or if you have any blistering,
see your doctor immediately.
As the airbags deflate, you may see
some smoke-like particles. The particles
are a normal by-product of the process
that generates the non-toxic gas used for
airbag inflation. These airborne particles
may irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or
throat. If you have skin or eye irritation,
rinse the area with cool water. For nose
or throat irritation, move to fresh air. If
the irritation continues, see your doctor.
If these particles settle on your clothing,
follow the garment manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.
Do not drive your car after the airbags
have deployed. If you are involved in
another collision, the airbags will not be
in place to protect you.

NOTE:
The airbag covers may not be obvious
in the interior trim, but they will open
during airbag deployment.
After any accident, the car should be
taken to a Jeep Dealership immediately.
Enhanced accident response system
In the event of a collision, if the
communication network and the power
remain intact, depending on the nature
of the event, the occupant restraint
control unit will determine whether to
have the enhanced accident response
system perform the following functions:
Cut-off the fuel supply to the engine
(where the fuel cut-off device is present).
Flash hazard lights as long as the
battery has power.
Turn on the interior lights, which
remain on as long as the battery has
power or for 15 minutes from the
intervention of the enhanced accident
response system.
Unlock the power door locks.
Your car may also be designed to
perform any of these other functions
in response to the enhanced accident
response system:
- Turn off the fuel filter heater, turn off
the air conditioning system fan motor,
close the circulation flap.
- Cut off battery power between battery
and:
Engine
Electric power steering
Brake servo
Electric parking brake
Dual clutch automatic transmission
gear lever
Horn
Front windscreen wiper
Headlight washer pump
NOTE After an accident, remember
to set the ignition device to the OFF
position and remove the key from the
ignition device to avoid draining the
battery. Carefully check the car for fuel
leaks in the engine compartment and on
the ground near the engine compartment
and fuel tank before resetting the system
and starting the engine. If there are
no fuel leaks or damage to the car
electrical devices (e.g. headlights)
after an accident, reset the system by
following the procedure described below.
If you have any doubt, contact a Jeep
Dealership.
Enhanced accident response system reset
procedure
After the event occurs, when the system
is active, a message regarding fuel
cut-off is displayed. Move the ignition
device from the START or RUN position
to the OFF position. Carefully check
the car for fuel leaks in the engine
compartment and on the ground near
the engine compartment and fuel tank
before resetting the system and starting
the engine.
Depending on the nature of the event
the left and right direction indicators,
located on the dashboard, may both be
blinking and will continue to blink. In
order to move your car to the side of the
road, you must follow the system reset
procedure.
NOTE Each step MUST BE held for at
least two seconds.
