Jeep 2012 Liberty - User Guide - Manual (Page 12)

• A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop
you could move too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear
your seat belt snugly.
• A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no
protection. Inspect the belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays,
or loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Do not
disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt assemblies must be
replaced after a collision if they have been damaged (bent retractor, torn
webbing, etc.).
• The seat belts for both front seating positions are equipped with
pretensioning devices that are designed to remove slack from the seat
belt in the event of a collision.
• A deployed pretensioner or a deployed air bag must be replaced
immediately.
WARNING!
In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater
injuries if you are not buckled up properly. You can strike the interior
of your vehicle or other passengers, or you can be thrown out of the
vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your vehicle are buckled up
properly.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) — AIR
BAGS
• This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and right
front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint system. The
Advanced Front Air Bags will not deploy in every type of collision.
• Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection
by supplementing the seat belts in certain frontal collisions depending
on the severity and type of collision. Advanced Front Air Bags are not
expected to reduce the risk of injury in rear, side, or rollover collisions.
• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains to protect the driver, front and rear passengers sitting next to a
window.
• If the Air Bag Warning Light is not on during starting, stays on, or
turns on while driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service
center immediately.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
