SIDE BAGS
To help increase occupants protection in
the event of side impact collisions, the
vehicle is equipped with front side bags
and window bags.
Side bag
These comprise two bags located in the
front seat backrests fig. 97 which protect
the pelvis, chest and shoulder area of
the occupants in the event of a side
collision of medium-high severity. They
are marked by the "AIRBAG" label sewn
on the outer side of the front seats.

Window bag
This consists of a "curtain" bag housed
behind the roof side linings and covered
by special trims fig. 98. They are
designed to protect the head of front and
rear occupants in the event of a side
124
collision, thanks to the wide cushion
inflation surface.

The deployment of side bags in the event
of side impacts of low severity is not
required.
In the event of a side impact, the
system provides best protection if the
passenger sits on the seat in a correct
position, thus allowing correct window
bag deployment.

Important notes
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
J0A0180C
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.
WARNING
99) Do not affix rigid objects to the coat
hooks or support handles.
100) 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.
101) Never lean your head, arms or
elbows out of the window.
102) If when setting the starter switch to
MAR the warning light
on or stays on whilst driving, a failure may
does not turn
