Airbag Deployment Sensors And Controls - Jeep Wrangler Owner's Manual

Children that are not big enough to properly
wear the vehicle seat belt should be secured in
the rear seat, in a child restraint or belt-
positioning booster seat. Older children who do
not use child restraints or belt-positioning
booster seats should ride properly buckled up
in the rear seat. Never allow children to slide
the shoulder belt behind them or under their
arm.
You should read the instructions provided with
your child restraint to make sure that you are
using it properly.
2. All occupants should always use their lap
and shoulder belts properly.
3. The driver and front passenger seats should
be moved back as far as practical to allow the
Advanced Front Airbags room to inflate.
4. Do not lean against the door or window. If
your vehicle has side airbags, and deployment
occurs, the side airbags will inflate forcefully
into the space between you and the door.
5. If the airbag system in this vehicle needs to
be modified to accommodate a disabled per-
34
son, contact the Customer Center. Phone num-
bers are provided under "If You Need Assis-
tance".
WARNING!
• Relying on the airbags alone could lead to
more severe injuries in a collision. The
airbags work with your seat belt to restrain
you properly. In some collisions, the air-
bags won't deploy at all. Always wear your
seat belts even though you have airbags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or
instrument panel during airbag deployment
could cause serious injury, including death.
Airbags need room to inflate. Sit back,
comfortably extending your arms to reach
the steering wheel or instrument panel.
• If the vehicle has Supplemental Seat-
Mounted Side Airbags (SAB), they also
need room to inflate. Do not lean against
the door or window. Sit upright in the center
of the seat.
NOTE:
After any accident, the vehicle should be
taken to an authorized dealer immediately.
Airbag Deployment Sensors And
Controls
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
The ORC is part of a regulated safety system
required for this vehicle.
The ORC determines if deployment of the front
and/or side airbags is required in a frontal or
side collision. Based on the impact sensors
signals, a central electronic ORC deploys the
Advanced Front Airbags, Supplemental Seat-
Mounted Side Airbags (SAB) — if equipped,
and front seat belt pretensioners, as required,
depending on each type of impact.
Advanced Front Airbags are designed to pro-
vide additional protection by supplementing
the seat belts in certain frontal collisions de-
pending on the severity and type of collision.
Advanced Front Airbags are not expected to
reduce the risk of injury in rear, side, or rollover
collisions.
