Jeep 2012 Liberty - User Guide - Manual (Page 13)

WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a
collision. The air bags 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 air bags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during
Advanced Front Air Bag deployment could cause serious injury,
including death. Air bags need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably
extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or instrument
panel.
• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains need room to inflate.
Do not lean against the door or window. Sit upright in the center of
the seat.
• Being too close to the Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain
during deployment could cause you to be severely injured or killed.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you
are involved in another collision, the air bags will not be in place to
protect you.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized
dealer immediately.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
• Children 12 years and under should ride properly buckled up in a rear
seat, if available. According to crash statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seats rather than in the front.
• Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that
small children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you
can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
Installing The LATCH - Compatible Child Restraint System
• Your vehicle's second row passenger seats are equipped with the child
restraint anchorage system called LATCH, which stands for Lower
Anchors and Tether for CHildren.
• The rear outboard seating positions have lower anchors and all three rear
seating positions have top tether anchors.
• Child seats with fixed lower attachments must be installed in the
outboard positions only. Child seats with flexible lower attachments can
be used in all three seating positions.
• Never install LATCH-compatible child seats such that two seats share a
common lower anchorage.
