in the OFF position, the airbag system is
not on and the airbags will not inflate.
In the event of an accident involving the
deployment of seat belt pretensioners or
airbags, the electronic control unit has a
power reserve capable of immediately
compensating for the loss of power
supplied by the battery (e.g. due to
damage to the battery or the electrical
system in the engine compartment) so
that these devices can be deployed.
The occupant restraint control unit
turns on the warning light on the
dashboard for approximately four to eight
seconds for a self-diagnosis when the
ignition device is first turned to the
RUN position. After the self-diagnosis,
the warning light will turn off. If the a
malfunction is detected in any part of
the system, it turns on the warning light,
either momentarily or continuously. A
single acoustic warning will sound to
alert you if the warning light comes on
again after initial start-up.
The occupant restraint control unit also
includes diagnostics that will turn on
the warning light on the dashboard
if a fault is detected that could affect
the airbag system. The the nature of the
malfunction is also recorded. While
the airbag system is designed to be
maintenance free, if any of the following
occurs, have a Jeep Dealership service
the airbag system immediately.
The warning light does not come
on during the four to eight seconds when
the ignition device is first in the RUN
position.
The airbag warning light stays on after
the four to eight-second interval.
The airbag warning light comes on
intermittently or remains on while
driving.
NOTE If the instrument panel is faulty,
the warning light may not indicate a
possible failure of the airbag system. In
this condition, the airbags may not be
ready to inflate for your protection or, in
a more limited number of cases, may be
activated when not necessary. Have a
Jeep Dealership service the instrument
panel immediately.
NOTE The front airbags and/or side bags
may be deployed if the car is subject
to heavy knocks or accidents involving
the underbody area, such as for example
violent shocks against steps, pavements
or low obstacles, the car falling in big
holes or dips in the road.

Air bag warning light (flashing or fixed)
If a fault in the supplementary restraint
system (SRS) is detected, the instrument
panel airbag warning light will turn
on. The warning light will stay on until
the fault is cleared. In addition, a single
acoustic warning will sound to alert you
that the airbag warning light has come
on and a fault has been detected. If
the airbag warning light comes on
flashing or remains on while driving
have a Jeep Dealership service the car
immediately.
WARNING If the airbag warning light
fails the corresponding icon will
illuminate on the display the next
time the car is restarted. The icon on
the display will stay on until the fault
is cleared. If the icon on the display
stays on while driving, go to a Jeep
Dealership immediately for the necessary
operations.
For additional information regarding
the airbag warning light refer to the
“Dashboard” paragraph of this manual.
Front airbags
This car has front airbags and three-point
seat belts for both the driver and front
passenger. Front airbags are not a
replacement of but complementary
to the seat belts, which you are
recommended to always wear, as
specified by law in Europe and most
non-European countries. The driver
front airbag is mounted in the centre
of the steering wheel (fig. 78). The
passenger front airbag is mounted
on the dashboard, above the glove
compartment. The words “SRS AIRBAG”
or “AIRBAG” are embossed on the airbag
covers.
