belts are designed to go around the large bones ofyour body. These are the strongest parts of yourbody and can take the forces of a collision thebest. Wearing your belt in the wrong place couldmake your injuries in a collision much worse. Youmight suffer internal injuries, or you could evenslide out of part of the belt. Follow these instruc-tions to wear your seat belt safely and to keepyour passengers safe, too.

Two people should never be belted into a singleseat belt. People belted together can crash into oneanother in an accident, hurting one another badly.Never use a lap/shoulder belt or a lap belt formore than one person, no matter what their size.

WARNING!

A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not

protect you properly. The lap portion could ride toohigh on your body, possibly causing internal injuries.Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you.

A belt that is too loose will not protect you as well. In asudden stop you could move too far forward, increasingthe possibility of injury. Wear your seat belt snugly.

A belt that is worn under your arm is very dangerous.Your body could strike the inside surfaces of the vehiclein a collision, increasing head and neck injury. A beltworn under the arm can cause internal injuries. Ribs

arent as strong as shoulder bones. Wear the belt overyour shoulder so that your strongest bones will take theforce in a collision.

A shoulder belt placed behind will not protect you frominjury during a collision. You are more likely to hit yourhead in a collision if you do not wear your shoulderbelt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be usedtogether.

The front airbags have a multi stage inflator design. Thisallows the airbag to have different rates of inflation thatare based on collision severity. Along with the seat belts,front airbags work with the instrument panel knee bol-sters to provide improved protection for the driver andfront passenger. Window bags also work with seat beltsto improve occupant protection.

The seat belts are designed to protect you in many typesof collisions. The front airbags deploy in moderate tosevere frontal collisions.

Children that are not big enough to properly wear thevehicle seat belt should be secured in the rear seat, in achild restraint or belt-positioning booster seat. Older

children who do not use child restraints or belt-positioning booster seats should ride properly buckledup in the rear seat. Never allow children to slide theshoulder belt behind them or under their arm.

If a child from 1 to 12 years old must ride in the frontpassenger seat because the vehicle is crowded, move theseat as far back as possible, and use the proper childrestraint. See Child Restraint in this section.

WARNING!

Relying on the airbags alone could lead to moresevere injuries in a collision. The airbags workwith your seat belt to restrain you properly. Insome collisions the airbags wont deploy at all.Always wear your seat belts even though youhave airbags.

Being too close to the steering wheel or instru-ment panel during airbag deployment could causeserious injury. Airbags need room to inflate. Sitback, comfortably extending your arms to reachthe steering wheel or instrument panel.

Side curtain airbags need room to inflate. Do notlean against the door or window. Sit upright in thecenter of the seat.

How The Airbag System Works

The Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) Module de-termines if a frontal, side, or rollover collision is severeenough to require the front and/or side airbags toinflate. The front airbag inflators are designed toprovide different rates of airbag inflation from direc-tion provided by the ORC. The ORC will detect rollovers, not rear impacts.

The ORC also monitors the readiness of the electronicparts of the system whenever the ignition switch is in

the START or ON positions. These include all of theitems listed above except the knee bolster, the instru-ment panel, and the steering wheel and column. If thekey is in the LOCK position, in the ACC position, ornot in the ignition, the airbags are not on and will notinflate.

Also, the ORC turns on the ALight for 6 to 8 seconds fowhen the ignition is first turne

8/12/2019 2007 Jeep Manual

49/471

The Driver and Passenger Airbag/Inflator Units arelocated in the center of the steering wheel and the right

side of the instrument panel. When the ORC detects acollision requiring the airbags, it signals the inflatorunits. A large quantity of nontoxic gas is generated toinflate the front airbags. Different airbag inflation ratesare possible, based on collision severity and occupantsize. The steering wheel hub trim cover and the upperright side of the instrument panel separate and foldout of the way as the bags inflate to their full size. The

bags fully inflate in about 5070 milliseconds. This is

about half of the time it takes to blink your eyes. Thebags then quickly deflate while helping to restrain thedriver and front passenger.

The driver front airbag gas is vented through the ventholes in the sides of the airbag. The passenger frontairbag gas is vented through the vent holes in the sidesof the airbag. In this way, the airbags do not interferewith your control of the vehicle.

If A Deployment OccursThe airbag system is designed to deploy when theOccupant Restraint Control (ORC) Module detects a

moderate-to-severe frontal collision, to help restrain thedriver and front passenger, and then to immediatelydeflate.

WARNING!

Deployed airbags and seat belt pretensioners cannotprotect you in another collision. Have the airbags,seat belt pretensioners, and seat belt retractor assem-bly, replaced by an authorized dealer as soon aspossible.

Enhanced Accident Response FeatureIf the airbags deploy after an impact and the electrical

system remains functional, vehicles equipped withpower door locks will unlock automatically. In addition,approximately 5 seconds after the vehicle has stoppedmoving, the interior lights will illuminate to aid visibility.

NOTE: The interior lights can only be deactivated if thekey is removed from the ignition switch or the vehicle isdriven.

The infant carrier is only used rearward-facing in thevehicle. It is recommended for children who weigh up

to about 20 lbs (9 kg). Convertible child seats oftenhave a higher weight limit in the rearward-facingdirection than infant carriers do, so they can be usedrearward-facing by children who weigh more than 20lbs (9 kg) but are less than one year old. Both types ofchild restraints are held in the vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt or the LATCH child restraint anchoragesystem (Refer to LATCH Child Seat AnchorageSystem in this section.)

Rearward-facing child seats must NEVERbe used inthe front seat of a vehicle with the front passengerairbag unless the airbag is turned off. An airbagdeployment could cause severe injury or death toinfants in this position.

Buckle the child into the restraint exactly as themanufacturers instructions tell you.

When your child restraint is not in use, secure it in thevehicle with the seat belt or remove it from the vehicle.

Do not leave it loose in the vehicle. In a sudden stop orcollision, it could strike the occupants or seat backsand cause serious personal injury.

Make sure that the child is upright in the seat.

The lap portion should be low on the hips and as snugas possible.

SAFETY TIPS

Exhaust Gas

WARNING!

Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain carbonmonoxide (CO) which is colorless and odorless. Breath-ing it can make you unconscious and can eventuallypoison you. To avoid breathing (CO) follow the safetytips below.

Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain carbonmonoxide, a colorless and odorless gas which can kill.Never run the engine in a closed area, such as agarage, and never sit in a parked vehicle with theengine running for a extended period. If the vehicle isstopped in an open area with engine running for morethan a short period, adjust the ventilation system toforce fresh, outside air into the vehicle.

Guard against carbon monoxide with pnance. Have the exhaust system inspect

the vehicle is raised. Have any abnormrepaired promptly. Until repaired, drivwindows fully open.

Always run the climate control in panel when driving with any windows openslightly, to help keep fresh air circulathicle. Otherwise poisonous gases could the vehicle.
